Another Opening

Good call having the opening number be one of the nominated shows, gets one performance down and is much better than last year's bleachers of presenters on the stage. Notice that Audra got more applause than Christine, a foreshadowing of things to come? Why isn't Angela Lansbury getting a standing ovation? Well, if she can't pronounce Neil Patrick Harris's name correctly maybe she doesn't deserve it. And the first televised award is Featured Actor in a play. And another mark in the wrong column, it's Billy Crudup, I should have seen it, he's another theatre favorite. Ok, time to go pop the champagne open while he makes his speech.
