Steve Sondheim can't be there? Where is he? In a motel room in New Orleans with Bern?

SITPWG: sorry, Scottie, this is not good. He's Tony Blair and she's Julie Andrews. All wrong!
Great show, misguided production.

Well, she won. No big surprise. It wouldn't have been my choice, but congrats to Patti LuPone. I did love her speech, which was delightful and very heartfelt. She won and Bernadette didn't-- Unfair! but life goes on, right?

Again, In the Heights was fairly predictable. Not a good show, but look at the competition. This was the weakest year for original musicals in a long time. None of them were worthy, in my opinion. It would be my choice to just suspend a category in any year with no worthy contenders, but the Tonys are about business, not art.

I'm not necessarily surprised, but I don't think the award was deserved, as evidenced by her performance tonight. I felt no emotion in "Everything's Coming Up Roses." It was a big display of 'listen how loud I can sing' and 'watch how I can pretend to act'. I saw her on Good Morning America and The View as well, and was totally unconvinced. It's like she blows through the performance like a freight train, which, arguably, can be a character choice for Mama Rose because in many ways, the character is like a train barreling over everyone and everything in her path. But, behind that train has to be some emotion and humanity, which I haven't seen in any of her Rose performances.
Yes, her speech was very nice. But I still don't agree with the decision to give her the Tony, and this makes me even more than the 100% sure I already am that Bernadette was utterly and completely robbed.

Oh, come on! Stop picking on Patti. You guys are still upset because Bernadette didn't win. Not Patti's fault. I saw both shows-- Patti and Bernadette(twice)-- and I have to say... While I love Bernadette, I think Patti owns this role. She really deserved to win. Bernadette (and you all will hate me for this) but she missed too many shows. It got to be a joke.
