I was happy for Bryan Cranston, but sorry that Paddy Considine lost.  I was, however, not sorry to see Jeff Daniels, one of the most unpleasant people I've ever come across in two encounters, lose, and I'n still puzzled that Adam Guettel was nominated for Best Score for incidental music, which includes Elmer Bernstein's film theme, I believe.

I guess I should get up and begin my day.  Maybe I can nap on the train as I do not want to fall asleep tonight.  I shouldn't as long as I can hear well enough.  I believe William Shatner will be interesting.

There was a show called "Enron" some time back that had just four songs, but got a Best Score nomination.

I'm being taken to a preview of Moulin Rouge at the end of June, and I hope I enjoy it.  It will be good to see a couple of friends in it.

It was very exciting in Boston, (even though other than the ushers, I was one of three people over 50 in the whole downstairs.). The glamorous couple next to me had bought one of the full champagne bottles, and when we chatted, they were sweet enough to offer me some and very careful not to spill any of it.  (Yes, they had extra cups!!!!) I definitely felt like Grandpa talking to them and also chatting at the stage door.

This was my tribute to the pretty amazing use of the pop songs in the show.   (Satine's first full number was the Katy Perry song "Firework.")

I liked a few of the speeches on the Tony Awards last night, but my favorite speech AND moment was Miss Elaine May....

I agree with DR CHAS SMITH about the sketches and songs and songs and sketches and James Cordon.....who truly thinks it's all about HIM.

Please CBS.....PLEASE....

I was going to post something else....but I won't.....it is what it is.

There is NO show that is good enough to survive a boneheaded director's concept....

Maybe it's my mood, but last night's Tony broadcast was a big MEH for me.  The shows don't appeal to me and James Cordon is way overdone.  I've loved his Carpool Karaoke segments and I appreciate his love for Broadway, but last night was very disappointing.

Whether you are a fan of Be More Chill or not, and I know little about it beyond the fact that my friend Chase is its choreographer, CBS really screwed the show by telling the producers there was no time for them to do a number, and then using one of its songs with parody lyrics - and giving the show no credit - for the show's needless bathroom sketch so Josh Groban could have a moment.  This is outrageous.

I have begun the takedown of Stella's cage.  The little litter box that once was Thatch's has been cleaned with Pine Sol and now is drying in the bathroom.  Once the cage is broken down, I'll wash the bottom tray and then find a place to keep it.  I really won't need it again, but I don't want to toss it.

My HMO just provided me with discount places for new glasses, so tomorrow on my way back from my podiatrist's appointment, I will pay some calls.  One is three blocks away; the other, six blocks.

I've decided to give her cage away.  I do not think I will need it again so I posted a notice on Facebook.  One of my rescue groups may need it.

I don't think Be More Chill is a show I will ever see - I'm over angst-ridden teenagers - but it would have been good for Chase and the production to have been seen, not fucked over,

The producers of the show are the f---s, along with  their evil lying lawyer Elliot Brown who I call "Nazio Elliot Brown."  They are in goose-step with him.(*)    He is helping my sister-in-law's lawyer in her weird quest to dislodge me as executor over a huge estate that is not her money.

But I'd hope for all the artists to have success.

Did the producers offer to pay the 200,000 for a spot, and they were denied?


(*). they are the springtime for Hitler producers, and law firm.  Hence the metaphor. :).

I really like Joe Iconis' work  as an artist. Chase Brock is continuing on his ascenddancy, and I bet this will last on video if the production wants. 

Joe Iconis seems very happy about it on his twitter.

Of course, when a bit comes off great, that's great, and everyone loves everyone - with those 3 name stars ant the Neil Patrick Harris cameo, this COULD go viral worldwide.  (Or not, based on effort made.)

when number  seems to not come together, it's at times Better if it had never been done, of course.  Was it that bad?  I knew the REAL song too well to ever feel anything but love for the song.

I too wonder if Be More Chill didn’t want to pay for the segment.

Am I right about the $200,000 fee to be paid TO the Tonys show to be on the Tonys?I heard that On TV, but am not finding the amount online.

They've had weeks under 450,000.  200,000 would be a large amount to pay when the only nomination was the score.
