I appear to be watching it, courtesy of: http://tinyurl.com/6m5pqx (I converted it to a TinyURL, but it's from the Tony awards website; I promise I'm not sending you anywhere suspect!)
If I ever got the chance, I would totally love to get drunk with Julie White and Michael Cerveris. :3

This is really fun! The silliness of it all just further cements my love for Cerveris.

Hey, since we're watching this, does that mean they'll stream the actual awards too? That would save me watching the California CBS stream on the TVU Player.

Hopefully this will be streaming throughout the day and it'll be as interesting as that guy's conversation at the Drama Desk Awards intermission. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8JqfZ3OVioUpdated On: 6/15/08 at 09:36 AM

What in god's name was that Rafiki just held up? Didn't look like a lion cub to me!
Aw man, performances! Yay! Has this been timed so that everyone can do their performances at rehearsal, or will shows that have a performance today just not be taking part?
I agree Weez. This is great! Too bad the real awards didn't go this fast.
EDIT: I take that back. Commercial breaks also. Although that makes sense since they have to practice the set changes also in real time.

Yeah, I tell myself it's not *really* spoilery, because it's not like we're getting the winners, but my brain isn't strictly listening. But it doesn't really care either.
