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...'

Last night, May 9, Daniel Radcliffe sat down with Jordan Roth at the 92nd Street Y to talk about the end of Harry Potter, How to Succeed in Business and, yes, the elephant on the Great White Way: his Tony nomination snub. As reported in Entertainment Weekly, when asked about his initial feelings towards being left off the Tony list, Radcliffe - ever the showman - reportedly responded: 'The thing that shocked me was everybody else's reaction to me, and how they started treating me - because it was like I lost a relative,' said Radcliffe. 'In my opinion, it was sweet, but over the top. People would ask me, ‘Are you OK?' And I'd go, ‘I'm really OK!'...The people that do this job for awards and recognition are kind of worshiping at the wrong altar, and I'm not really quite sure if I want to know those people.'

'I am in London right in the middle of Shrek tech rehearsals. So at some point I went backstage to look at my lists of the next things we had to do and my phone was lighting up. It was my agent and good friend and he told me the news. It was very exciting. As for celebrating we have a Shrek run tonight, so I won't be free for a while, but afterwards I would love to have a glass of champagne in my hotel room! You know, it is always a surprise. To be recognized like this is a total gift, and the show means so much to me. It was such a joy to do, Dan Radcliffe is a dream to work with, and to have this honor for the show... you just never know. And this is the best outcome. Of course it was a disappointment that Dan wasn't nominated, I think he is terrific. He is the leader of the production. But it is great that we were recognized... you just want everyone to feel as wonderful as you feel right now.'
