Thank God

I don't have to throw a brick through the Tony Awards Committee's window when I'm in New York in two weeks, Justice has finally been served, Patti has her lomg overdue second Tony, and that was a terrific speech. It was great to hear her throw in a shout out to Ravinia, especially since they rescusitated her career back in 2001, I'm sure it will get plenty of mention on WFMT tomorrow morning. She looked great, and I can't wait to see the show, her reception is going to be astonishing as long as she plays the role. Plus, to all the naysayers who've been claiming that Gypsy was only revived to nab her a second Tony, Boyd and Laura's awards should finaly dispel that crap. This Gypsy deserves its place on the stage Then to follow that up, I'm thrilled that In The Heights made it to the home stretch, I just wish they would have let them do a full speech instead of cutting them off. Overall, this was the best Tony night I can remember since 1996 when Chicago and Titanic swept the show. Now, one more glass of champagne and it's off to bed, to dream of a classwork-free lunch break tomorrow.
