DR Druxy, when was your reading in Austin at the Baker St. Pub? And which one of the two will it be at? I might, just might, be able to make it, if i get through the jet lag and the brain fog.

The talk is next Tuesday (19) at 7 pm the S. Lamar location. Hope to see you there.

TOD:

Favorite parts:
Steve Kazee's acceptance speech.
NPH's Spider-Man bit
James Corden's upset win (even though I voted for the other guy...)

Ugly parts:
The pretentious CLYBOURNE PARK acceptance speech
The HAIRSPRAY mess
The Judy Garland drag queen

Was Michael McGrath's foreshadowing (at the end of his speech) meant to imply that he would soon be doing a HONEYMOONERS - THE MUSICAL?

Quote from: Ben on June 11, 2012, 06:41:16 AM

Yes, he will be playing Ralph Kramden in a musical version of The Honeymooners.

That's a relief! Because he was talking about his wife, I thought he meant that it was gonna be "Bang! Zoom! Straight to the moon!" when he got home...

I hadn't been eager at all to see ONCE based on listening to the OCR but seeing the "Gold" number last night has perked my interest. Also would like to see PETER AND THE STARCATCHER (though I don't think last night's snippets really showed it off all that well.)

That number of ONCE did not make me want to see the show. That's why i was curious if that was a fair representation of the show.

Thanks DR GINNY....glad to hear it.

What a boring three hours of tv and not to mention full of drek. I was sorry that my buddy ALW didn't win anything, but both numbers were boring. So much wasted time on shows that either were not nominated or had closed - I don't care what they paid to be on the broadcast. I'm glad Once won for Best Musical. Although it's based on a movie, it was still creative. The Newsies thing just saddens me to no end. It should never even opened on Broadway, but went straight to being able to license the show, like it was suppose to do. Glad Alan Menkin finally won a Tony, though. It should have went to Sister Act last year, though. And really really really could care less about The Book of Mormon, must we always be slapped in the face with a reference??

And I wasn't going to say anything.... oy and vey

Interest in the Tony Awards telecast was even lower than usual this year, as CBS drew just 6 million viewers for Sunday's three-hour special , likely the smallest audience on record for the event.
Despite facing lackluster competition on the broadcast networks and no big sports draws on cable, the Tony Awards averaged a 1.0 rating/3 share in adults 18-49 and a little over 6 million viewers for its 8-11 p.m. window , down from last year's show, which did a 1.2/4 in the demo while drawing nearly 1 million more viewers overall. The previous low-water mark in the demo was a 1.1 rating in both 2008 and 2010, and the smallest overall audience prior to last night was 6.3 million in 2008.

Viewership drifted downward throughout the telecast too, starting with about 7 million in the 8 o'clock half-hour before closing to about 5.4 million when ''Once'' was awarded the prize for best musical.

I just had a GREAT trip to the mailbox.

A day with packages from both KRITZERLAND and TWILIGHT TIME is a fine day indeed.

It is a day to be envied by other days.

I was up at four-thirty for some unknown reason, then announced at six and was back in bed and asleep by six-thirty. The phone rang at 9:45, 10:15, 10:30 and 11:00. Answered the eleven and am now up.

OK, so here's a ridiculous story about a cop dying while having three-way sex and his wife wins a settlement over his death:

The fridge/freezer repair men came. They took one look at it and said it was past repair (so why did the previous repair man say it could be repaired?) My service contract provides for a new replacement if it can't be repaired but they said the phone line to head office was busy so they couldn't make arrangements for a replacement at the present time. They left saying they would phone to say what arrangements will be made. Grrr! Not happy!

~~~Fridge Vibes for DR Doug R!!~~~

I'm very glad Once and Peter and the Starcatcher won awards. I wish P & the S would have won more, including Best Score (even though it's not a musical). I am also very, very glad that Traci Bennett did NOT win for End of the Rainbow. It was 2 hours of my life that I'll never get back. She was spoken of with a very good chance to win. Thankfully, they were wrong. They were wrong about a lot of things. Talk was Follies had it sewn up for Best Revival of a Musical as well.

Oh, Well.

I had heard really good things about Traci Bennett as Judy Garland. She was horrible. And if she was supposed to be Judy in her final months, she didn't study her much.

I didn't like Tracie Bennett's performance last night, at all.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #80 on:** June 11, 2012, 11:56:39 AM »

I was surprised after all of the positive things I had heard, that Tracie Bennett seemed so off the mark.....

Yes, what happened to the IN MEMORIUM segment?

They did it off broadcast during a commercial break so just the people in the Beacon Theatre saw it.

They did many things off broadcast. God forbid you should bore people with awards presented to those stupid book writers or choreographers or orchestrator or Actor's Equity getting a special Tony or even Bernadette Peters getting the Isabelle Stevenson Award.

I wish they had done the LEAP OF FAITH number during a commerical break

Or the HAIRSPRAY number...there was absolutely no point for that. Not that it was bad, but just completely unneccessary.

I totally forgot to watch The Tony Awards last night. Instead I was viewing and old Bollywood movie called DULARI, which I didn't finish due to getting sleepy.

DR JRand61, you review of LURE OF THE SWAMP made me laugh!

Sometimes the poster really is better than the movie...but really, it is kind of difficult not to want to see a movie called LURE OF THE SWAMP.

Oh, and the 'annoying' girlfriend of Marshall Thompson's was played by Joan Lora, who was one of the teens, along with June Kenney, Robert Reed, and Gene Persson hunted down by a killer on that island in BLOODLUST (1961).

MBarnum · « **Reply #88 on:** June 11, 2012, 12:24:30 PM »

Which makes me think, how could you not want to see BLOODLUST, after viewing this trailer!

I bet you never saw the Brady Bunch dad in anything like this before!
