On Twitter Watch, Neil Patrick Harris wrote 'Just saw Sister Act on B'way. No expectations - and we loved it. Patina Miller (the lead) has every reason to win a Tony. Just saw Priscilla, Queen of the Desert on Broadway. Gayest thing I've ever seen, in the good way. Audience loved it, as did I. More theatah: saw matinee of Catch Me If You Can. Norbert Leo Butz is outstanding. Aaron Tveit (again, robbed!) is SO crazy gifted. The Tony preparations continue. Saw How To Succeed last night. Daniel was robbed. Rob Ashford's direction rules. The crows went nuts. Crows=crowds. Stupid thumbs...'
