The Official 2012 Tony Awards Discussion Thread

[Jordan Catalano]

I've always wanted to start one of these threads.

Happy 2012-2013 Theater Season, everyone!

[ljay889]

In just a few hours, this thread will be very popular.

[Jordan Catalano]

90 minutes until the NY1 Red Carpet Arrivals!

[DottieD'Luscia]

Kudos for trying, but you do realize someone is still going to start the, "I can't believe that [fill in the blank] won/didn't win" thread!

[dramamama611]

Oh, please...if there were ONLY one other it would be a miracle!

Can't wait for the festivities to begin....this has been the longest Sunday ever!

[DottieD'Luscia]

Guess we should start a pool as to how many award related threads there will be!

[GatorNY]

It's too bad that it's not at Radio City Music Hall this year. If it was there, we might see some hot Papis from the Puerto Rico Day festivities spilling over on the the red carpet arrivals.

[HeyMrMusic]

We are in for a wild ride tonight. So many up-in-the-air categories and sure-to-be fun and heartfelt acceptance speeches. Merry Christmas, everyone!

[Jordan Catalano]

Jesus Christ, Kazee looks amazing in a tux.

This is fine..although I think this thread is good to post immediate/live reactions...in the long-term the responses here will get completely lost in a sea of other responses, so if someone wants to discuss in more detail why X won or didn't win I still think a new thread could be appropriate.

[ACL2006]

and what am I watching before the Tonys - the A Chorus Line movie on Ovation. God, I forgot how bad some parts of this were.

[blaxx]

so if someone wants to discuss in more detail why X won or didn't win I still think a new thread could be appropriate.

No, not really. The boards become unreadable. It's not good and impossible to follow each thread.

You know these interviewers are terrible when they ask Nick Jonas about "what it was like" to play a role 10 years ago.

What a topical, interesting question!

[DAME]

Just started watching the coverage. Jonas. Yum.

[thetinymagic2]

my sound isn't working on the live stream? Just turned it on.

[broadwaydevil]

^You're not missing much.

[DAME]

Is that Roma Torres?

[broadwaydevil]

Yup

[jv92]

Roma Torres is not doing a very good job interviewing, IMHO, but Patrick is cheerful and smiley as always.

[Jordan Catalano]

It looks like Michael Cerveris' transformation into a reptile is almost complete.

[DAME]

I guess they lost the feed?

[jv92]

LOL. Well he's played very slimy reptile-esque characters the past six or so years, starting with Todd and going onto the evil brother in ROAD SHOW, and now Peron.

[jdrye222]

I want to see the Creative awards!! Can't believe they aren't broadcast. ugh.

[DAME]

These bitched messed uo the feed?

[jv92]

ATC is reporting that Jan Maxwell came across bitter in her interview, claiming she would take up Sound Design because she never wins acting awards. Unfortunately, she should be bitter, since she's going to lose to a five-time winner giving a mediocre performance.

[qolbinau]

ohhh juicy. I bet she was half-joking though and smiling when she said it, rather than genuinely bitter - she is a funny lady.
