So excited! Can't wait to see the performances - hope they do a lot better this year, the performances last year were very underwhelming with the exception of Great Comet and Bandstand (though I had also seen all of the shows last year, while this time around I haven't seen any of the shows so these performances will be my first views - but that makes it more important since i'm placing a decision on what to see in a few weeks based on how good the performances are!)

Also is it wrong I want Ethan Slater or Gavin Lee to win just for the joy of being able to call Squidward Tentacles or SpongeBob Squarepants a "Tony Award Winning Role"?  Though from what I've heard if Slater does win it would be deserved, so there's that too!

Is anyone else finding that CBS All Access also has a delay for Pacific Time?? I assumed I'd get to watch it stream live.

I'm loving this intro with Sara Bareilles and Josh Groban.

A nice opening idea albeit it difficult to discern a lot of the lyrics.

What line did they bleep during the "Mean Girls" performance?

"I'm seeing the LuPone in Key West later this week. I'm hoping for great vocals and some sort of insane breakdown..." - BenjaminNicholas2

This Mean Girls performance is like something 30 Rock would have made fun of ten years ago.

Not even the people affiliated with Mean Girls seemed enthused about that performance.

I was thinking the same thing. I already had 0 interest, but I thought I’d be intrigued. I’m even more confused by the hype now.

That was too long a performance for a not very good show. It's like the band playing on as the Titanic sank.
