Okay, well, this was someone else's idea to create a new thread to discuss the Tonys as they happen, so here we go...

Okay, so I haven't seen any of the shows nominated for Best Musical...the only thing I"ve seen recently is Dracula...so which one is everyone pulling for? I haven't really been keeping up to date...

Loved, loved, loved, the Light in the Piazza number. If only it can somehow win best musical too.

Sweet Charity looked like high school or community theater. Applegate is way out of her depth. Can't believe she got even a nomination.

Thanks Karen...see, I haven't been paying enough attention.  And I didn't even realize that was Christina Applegate...I mean, I know they said it, but it didn't click.

I can't decide if I think that winners who bring notes up with them to get their award are conceited and extremely self-assured, or just well-prepared...

Be careful what you say. Didn't Bernadette bring one up when she won for AGYG? LOL.

LoL I don't know. And that's why I can't decide what I think...but hey, it's Bernadette, c'mon. How could she not win?

La Cage Aux Folles-score by Jerry Herman and winner of the Tony for Best Score, much to the dismay of those who wanted Sunday in the Park with George to win that year....and Herman's acceptance speech did not endear him to those in the Sondheim camp (although he has repeatedly said he was not taking a jab at Sondheim and SITPWG). And some have not moved on past that year-just see what happens when the topic comes up on the message boards!

I did think the La Cage number was extremely enjoyable. Made me want to see it.

What did Jerry Herman say that was offensive or whatever?
And the La Cage number was good, but I wish there had been more singing.

I do think that the Lifetime Achievement Award should be given during the course of the CBS broadcast. I realize that may be a network decision and not the Wing's decision.

Yeah I agree with you Jenn. It is kind of a big deal award.
