I do want to add my name to the roster of those not enamored with Jennifer Holliday.

I went to Jerry's and got a couple scoops of egg salad and chicken salad. So, I shall eat and watch.

I have friends in every show, and it shall not stop me from dishing because we do love to dish. I do wish them well, of course, but if they are dressed poorly or if they are unseemly, I shall call a spade a spade. Normally, I call a spade a club, which causes me a lot of trouble when I play poker. I even called a hoe a spade once - what a faux pas.

I saw the last revival with Debbie Allen and michael Rupert and my problem is the show: the leading lady is a really dumb whore and a loser. I find the same problem with the Fellini film. She's an idiot!

My problem with the show and film too DR Elmore. I don't like either. The film if anything is worse - it goes on forever and Sammy Davis Jnr bit is junk.

I will go out on a limb (leg) and say that this is the best Tony Awards partay on all the Internet. Okay, show is about to start - I'll return at the first commercial and then WATCH OUT, baby.

I should be keeping a score card. Each performance I've seen of "that song" has been worse than the one before. Most recent for me was the one on Broadway's Leading Ladies (I think).

Stupidly, the early award winners get plenty of time to give their speeches and the ones at the end get mercilessly cut off. The way of the world, I guess.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #307 on:** June 05, 2005, 07:55:36 PM »

DR ELMORE....bingo on the problem with the show.

Too bad for Christina that DAMN YANKEES was revived a bit ago....I think I would have liked her better as a sweet and sexy Lola.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #308 on:** June 05, 2005, 07:55:37 PM »

YIKES!!!!!

Talk about cutting someone off!!!!!

?!?!?!?!?

Now that was sad!!!!!!!!

elmore3003 · « **Reply #309 on:** June 05, 2005, 07:56:24 PM »

Well, I like dishing but I prefer to dish people I know and dislike, rather than be generally unkind. I was thrilled by best musical and totally surprised by it.

Especially to cut off the Best Musical....sheesh! Although it did take them a while to get up on stage

'Tis all done on this coast. All in all, a fairly colorful and breezy affair. With the exception of the heinous number to which JoseS refers.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #312 on:** June 05, 2005, 07:57:39 PM »

Two hours in, and except for what I (and only I) thought was a lackluster opening number - it really is a good show concentrating on Broadway.

I hear the Weisslers are considering a DREAMGIRLS revival with Bernadette in the lead.

George · « **Reply #313 on:** June 05, 2005, 07:57:47 PM »

DRJRand54, she's too charming for Charity, but I agree with you about Lola. Did I see the charmless hostile Bebe Neuworth do it?

I'm definately in the other group. Holliday stunned me in Dreamgirls.

Why didn't someone comb Albee's hair for him?

DRRodzinski, I referred first! It was truly scary. All in all, I had a great time. I loved the guest appearance in the Spelling Bee.

Other peeve to look out for: Dig the sub-video cam sound quality of the best play nominee excerpts, especially GEM OF THE OCEAN.

The Tonys are over here on the East Coast.

All I can say is, for those of you on the West Coast, keep an eye out for the guy who grabbed his cravat off of a Christmas tree. You'll know what I mean when you see it.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #321 on:** June 05, 2005, 08:01:03 PM »

Christina might even be a sweet and beguiling Daisy Mae.

Watching Dreamgirls from an uncomfortable seat in the balcony of Cincinnati's Taft Theater (a real dump) was one of my most painful experiences as a ticket-buyer.

Two casting ideas popped up from tonight's broadcast:

Hugh Jackman as Albert in Bye Bye Birdie

Sally Field as Martha in Virgina Woolfe

The show is starting here on the west coast now and they just showed bits of each play from 2004...and...not knowing a thing about any of the plays on Broadway right now, DR Elmore3003, I have picked ALL SHOOK UP and LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA and that Japanese looking one (whose title I did not catch) as the ones I would like to see when I go to New York.

You book the tickets, please.

She might be a good Roxie Hart, too, certainly better than Melanie Griffith!

Well, Michael Jackson has been hospitalized. I think I just heard that on the news. It's either trauma over the possible verdict or his nose fell off again.

Billy Crystal's opening monologue was pretty funny!

Tell me when you're coming. That must be PACIFIC OVERTURES in your Japanese reference; it's dead.

Jackman would be a fantastic Albert Peterson!

I think you're out of luck on at least one of your choices, DRMBARNUM.

PACIFIC OVERTURES is busy being closed.

It's sad to say, but I think that, one way or another, Jackson will never let himself go to prison.
