ONE MINUTE TILL THE TONY AWARDS!!

The Tony Awards will begin at 8pm and I will be HERE with minute-by-minute updates!!

I am simultaneously be tweeting, live-blogging for BroadwayWorld, AND participating in the Tonys Drinking Game. Wish me luck!

Despite his awesome turn in Jerusalem (not to mention the British Office), I still see a pirate when I look at MacKenzie Crook.

There is NO online stream of the Tony Awards this year. Sad face! 

I absolutely adore Mark Rylance.  

Harry Connick Jr: "This is where the real talent is. I've worked in every medium imaginable, & I admire those on Broadway most."

Harry Connick Jr on the red carpet, being interviewed by Frank Dilella of NY1.  Two very dreamy guys. (Donna looks good too!) 

Martha Wash from the Weather Girls, and Paul Shaffer, who wrote "It's Raining Men," will join the Priscilla, Queen of the Desert cast to perform the song.

I barely recognized Tony Sheldon out of drag!  He looks so handsome. He's on the Tony Awards red carpet with Beth Leavel!

Hundreds of people in Times Square, at the TKTS red steps, watching a free screening of the Tony Awards! Need a place to watch? Go there!

Cameras going off like strobes for Christy Brinkley & her daughter Alexa Ray Joel on the Tony Awards red carpet!

Right now, Sutton Foster is on the red carpet in a beautiful strapless gown.

New York 1 is broadcasting the red carpet from the Tonys, and I am glued to my TV!

The Tony Awards red carpet has begun!!
