"For Good" was the perfect song to perform tonight since 'Wicked' has changed theater goers for a decade.

AHL, Stewardess is a hot to trot heterosexual woman. Steward is a hot to trot, Gay employee that you can converse with on Grndr when not in flight. There is a difference.

No, that's what actors are SUPPOSE to do. They don't always. I understood his comment, entirely.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Im a huge wicked fan, but that performance did not seem Broadway caliber to me... Best performance of the night is still Idina

I'm also bitter that Iglehart won a Featured Actor Tony for a leading performance, when poor Bertie Carvel still has no Tony cos he was put in Lead for what was also a Featured performance

At least, the Disney producers didn't make the same mistake as the arrogant Matilda producers did. Lesson: If they have a MUCH bigger chance of a winning in a Featured Role category than Leading role, go for an easy win!


Well, Matilda still won Featured Actor in a Musical (Gabriel Ebert). Sucks for Carvel, but he almost won, too, so it was a wise, strategic move.

As for Monroe Iglehart, he was his show's solely acting nomination and he didn't have direct competition from a co-star in Featured.

Am I hallucinating?
Everyone is aware that "Sutton Ross" used to go by "Sue Storm". Right?

^ They didn't "take out" Bridges or Bullets... those producers just didn't pay!

ETA: I think Bullets is coming up? If I remember Rob's live blog right from earlier, Bullets is supposed to perform.

If there has to be a point, I think it's that Tupac is now on Broadway... but I liked the rap. Something different to bring more people to the theatre.

Good win for NPH, but the shot of Ramin holding his sleeping son was precious.

After seeing that last number I just had terrible flashbacks to that big old flop I saw last night--Holler If Ya Hear Me.
