BroadwayGirlNYC: 2010 Tony Awards Drinking Game!

IT'S TIME, YOU GUYS.

 

It's time for the 2010 Tony Awards!!!!

 

And since I've already told you about my favorite Tony tradition, provided for you my Tony Theme Party Menu, and offered up my 2010 Tony Award Predictions, there is only one thing left to prepare:

 

The 2010 TONY AWARDS DRINKING GAME!!!

 

Over the last 24 hours, I've solicited ideas over twitter, through the hashtag #TonysDrinkingGame.  Here are my favorites.  (Feel free to add more in the comments!)

 

 

HOST:

If Sean Hayes references Newsweek, take a drink.

Drink if Sean Hayes does a musical medley at the end of the night a la NPH (via @david2587)

 

PRESENTATIONS:

Drink when a celeb who didn't show up for rehearsal can't read the teleprompter and blows a line. (via @MJKilgore)

Any time a reference is made to Angela Lansbury's potential 6th Tony win, drink.

Drink every time an award presenter comes on who has never been on Broadway before (via @david2587) 

 

TONY SPEECHES/ WINNERS:

Take a drink when a Tony is accepted by anyone still in costume from their previous performance.

Drink if a winner thanks their high school dance/music/drama teacher (via @misslizrichards)

Raise a toast and drink to any winners who thank their same-sex partners in their acceptance speech.

Take a drink if someone stops his/her speech and yells from the stage into the audience "Turn off your cell phone!" (via @maggielevine)

If Patti  Lupone yells at the audience... just finish the bottle. (via @jazzysays_)

Take a drink if anyone other than Levi Kreis wins for featured actor in a musical!

Drink if a losing nominee is shown giving the winning nominee a 'stink face'! cough-Sutton Foster!-cough (via @alanakoontz)

If a Tony winner continues speaking...even after the orchestra starts playing ala Patti LuPone, drink (via @samanthareho)

 

PERFORMANCES:

If faulty microphone delays cause confusion in the opening number, like last year, drink!! (via @samathareho)

Drink if Hugh Jackman makes a surprise singing/ dancing appearance.

Drink if Mark Rylance randomly shows up to recite a poem. (via @masb1987)

Drink every time Neil Patrick Harris takes the stage to either dance or present  (via @mybiggaywedding)

 

GLEE:

If Lea Michele and Funny Girl are mentioned in the same sentence, take a drink

Drink if anyone plugs themselves to be on Glee (via @andiecaves)

Take a drink whenever a Glee cast member campaigns for a Broadway role.

 

MISC:

Whenever you hear a joke made about jukebox musicals, take a drink. 2 for Jonas/ Miley/ Bieber references!

Drink if you see me [Laura Benanti] wearing my neck brace in the audience, which I will remove when I present (via Broadway STAR @laurabenanti!)

Take a drink whenever any Golden Girl is mentioned, inc. Rue McLanahan who will surely be memorialized

 

TWITTER:

Drink twice if Twitter is mentioned at the Tonys.  Finish the bottle if anyone mention BroadwayGirlNYC! ;-)
