Catching Up

Ok, they haven't gotten to Best Actress yet, but there's a lot to catch up on. First, after years of the tottering heads of the theatre wing presenting the geriatric face of theatre to tbe world, this was a great way to get through the slow part of the Tony's. But, I would kill to know what John Mahoney said as they were heading offstage. From the way he started, it didn't seem like he was about to utter a phrased that was censorship worthy, but apparently someone thought so. Then, I got another wrong when Julie White won Best Actress in a Play, but I got more rights with Michael Mayer, Journey's End, Company, and Frank Langella willing Director, Revival of a Play and Musical, and Best Actor. Sneaky, sneaky, the producers found a way to get performances from LoveMusik and Blonde in after all in the recap of the year, there's going to be some catfights tomorrow. It was very classy of Patti to show up to introduce Company, but was she high? Phylicia Rashad appeared as high as she did when she won Best Actress a few years ago, and what was she wearing?

Breaking back into current events again, Utopia just won Best Play, I'm 14 and 8 now.

They also showed the first commercial I've seen for the Hairspray movie, it's been moved up a week to July 20, and those of you reading my blog know all about that day. I guess I'll be seeing it Saturday morning. I also just realized that barring a last minute miracle, Curtains is going to be the second Kander & Ebb new show in a row to be completely shut out. They seem to have better luck the second time around with most of their shows. So, on to the rest of the show, with the Spring Awakening performance. Oh, BTW, Christine was awesome in the Grey Gardens performance and she got a great reception, it could still happen.
