Even though we can't watch the show (boo), I figured we could still have a place to react to the winners.

Yes!! Has it been confirmed that this year there is no livestream?

There hasn't been any word from The Drama Desks or BroadwayNews (Who are the sponsors this year). In past years Theatermania sponsored, and that's where we previously got the live stream, so that explains the lack of one this year.

Their facebook/website have no mention of a livestream, nor does BWW's articles. Such a shame - it's not that hard to do, they literally could've gotten an intern to do it.

Yes yes, I thought as much with the change in sponsor, but just wanted to confirm I wasn’t missing anything.

Rotting for my boy Tom Glenn Carney tonight! Still can’t believe he didn’t receive a Tony nom.

Do they typically tweet out the winners like the Tonys do? Or will we have to wait for a full winners list later tonight?

It does seem as though Drama Desk is tweeting the results out live on twitter if anyone wants to follow there.

BroadwayNews said they would start streaming them in 2020. So that obviously doesn't help us for tonight, but hopefully this is the only year we can't stream.

Fiddler for best revival!


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.
