Quote from: bk on June 09, 2013, 09:20:51 PMAnnie proves once again that choreography has just hit its nadir - where Peter Genarro's was perfection, this was just posing and pointless and I loathed the new orchestrations. Jane Lynch tried hard, sang loud and was completely unfunny, unlike Miss Loudon, Jane Connell, Ruth Kobart and any number of other hilarious Miss Hannigan's. And the New Yawk accents?I disagree, I think Jane Lynch did well. However, I completely agree with the "New Yawk" accent issue...totally unnecessary and distracting.Still the best musical number we've seen so far. Not saying much, but there you go

I really enjoyed NPH's number with Laura Benanti and Megan Hilty. Funny.And as always I really liked the closing number with Neil and Audra. Wish they weren't so rushed.Btw, THE SHOW WENT OVER BY ALMOST 10 minutes on the East Coast (for anyone recording it).

Plus the reporter who was covering it couldn't get half of the award winners right...totally fumbled it. Glad the ending is already on youtube!
Apparently, no one in New York or Radio City knew that The Rascals had a Broadway show.
while the TV number was okay, why take up Tony time with something that is self-aggrandizing and pointless?
It's funny about Pippin - for all this reinvention, they can't go all the way and still choreograph in the "style" of Fosse - many of the original steps and positions are there. Why not do completely different? I thought it was fun to watch, but I really hate the way Pippin sings.
