That WAS the best number -- among a lot of great numbers.
I think the fact that the ratings were up this year is attributable entirely to NPH. His performance as an award show host has become must-see TV. I've still seen nothing about Pippin that would entice me to go (again), including a piece in yesterday's Washington Post. I guess what I look for first in a musical is the music. After the music, it's probably the story, followed by choreography and costumes. I just don't have any interest in acrobatic tricks (no, I've never been interested in Cirque du Soleil), and since the music in Pippin isn't all that appealing to me, nor is the story, it's not on the list of shows I'd like to see.

I think this was NPH's best year yet as Tony host, which is saying something. He mentioned on Fallon the other night that he'll be moving to NYC when HIMYM ends next year. Anybody else think CBS might want to have him take over the Late Show when Dave retires? BTW, I saw "Pippin" on Saturday, and still haven't recovered. An amazing production. It deserved every Tony it won, and then some. Andrea Martin's acrobatic tricks alone are worth the price of admission. -Tim -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
