I thought the show was pretty much a disaster from beginning to end. Hayes wasn't a bad host, but the choices of presenters was bizarre, plays were overlooked (as usual) to present amateurish nonsense like Ms. Michele auditioning (badly) for the "Funny Girl" revival, and desperation for ratings gave us ten minutes of Green Day and a salute to "Glee," because that's what Broadway is all about.
I won't even mention the nominated musicals, all of which were as dull and derivative as could possibly be devised. Ugh. --Dave Sikula On Jun 14, 5:58 am, Jon Delfin <[email protected]> wrote: > Last night's Tony Awards show was (not counting the audio disasters > and the inevitable "here's your hat, what's your hurry" as 11 p.m. > approached) the best in many years. *Many* years. > > Channeling my day job, though, I do have to object to Lea Michele's > Streisand impersonation.
