I'm actually enjoying this. If nothing else, the opening is going to go viral, and that's not a bad thing.

I loved Vanessa Redgrave's reaction to Neil Patrick Harris calling her straight.

That wasn't questionable at all. Nope. Not even when NPH wound up in a sparkly purple jumpsuit and went limp-wristed onstage. Nope. Totally appropriate.

Brook Shields was horrible... Now I am even MORE upset about her taking over for Bebe as Morticia 2011 Tony Award Thread

That opening was sort of the humor you get in CBS Primetime. Since NPH is more or less the face of CBS Primetime, that is sort of expected (and my CBS addicted mother loved it).

So stupid to put H2SB on so early... they're going to lose all the Potter fans who are just tuning in to see the performance.

Some of the camerawork is...... something. I could have done without that low-angle shot of Mr. Radcliffe.

Was this the best performance to put on after NPH attempted to convince the audience that Broadway wasn't just for gays?

I actually like the choreography for this.

This is not selling me on Daniel Radcliffe as a musical theater actor. It does however give my short self hope that maybe I can get cast in a decent role some day that requires dancing.

my roommate just said about the opening number "if the people on Broadway are supposed to be so talented how did they come up with that?"
