Members Khan Posted June 14, 2010 Members Share Posted June 14, 2010 Here I am! I'm watching! Actually, I'm still recovering from the Terror that Might Have Been (aka Kristin Chenowith's near-wardrobe malfunction). Good God, but Catherine Zeta-Jones' performance STANK. Michael Douglas loved it, of course, but he was probably busy impregnating her again from across the auditorium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted June 14, 2010 Members Share Posted June 14, 2010 Exactly. Where's Jessica Fletcher when you really need her? Of course, "Memphis" wins Best Musical. As usual, Tonys play it safe with a production that does the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted June 14, 2010 Members Share Posted June 14, 2010 I think Jessica Fletcher would solve the mystery pretty easily.....Zeta Jones=Michael Douglas=BIG STAR=The Tonys kissing his butt with an Tony for his lame wife....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmaster Errol Posted June 14, 2010 Author Webmaster Share Posted June 14, 2010 I have no real experience of watching any past Tony Awards, but what I did see I liked. There were a couple of technical glitches here and there, but overall, it was quite enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 14, 2010 Members Share Posted June 14, 2010 This year's production was pretty good; and some of Sean Hayes' comedic bits, such as coming out as "Annie" and "Spider-Man," were pretty funny, too. Nonetheless, the nostalgic part of me misses the Tony awards telecasts of my childhood more with each passing year. Back then (the '80's), the telecasts were much more streamlined and stripped down (compare clips of, say, the 1980 telecast to this year's and you'll see what I mean); and CBS did not include "special guests" like Mark Sanchez and Paula Abdul just to make the telecasts more appealing to mainstream/non-theatre-going audiences. The Tonys were just an opportunity for the real stars of the theatre community to get together and celebrate each other's work. Pure and simple.

Members Franky Posted June 14, 2010 Members Share Posted June 14, 2010 That's why watch. Where else can I see Kristen Chenoweth, Sherie Rene Scott, and David Hyde Pierce all in the same place? I certainly do not watch to see a Hollywood actress trying to "belt" Send in the Clowns while twitching her head repeatedly. That was seriously awkward to watch.

Members Franky Posted June 15, 2010 Members Share Posted June 15, 2010 To be fair, I did see a clip of her during what I assume was an actual performance from the show, and she seemed to do a much better job. I know it might sound uppity and closed-minded, but I really don't like the way main-stream pop culture is intruding into Broadway. I know it's not a new trend, necessarily, but I would really like to see new musicals with original music nominated. It doesn't have to be completely original (what is, really?). The Addams Family seems like a really interesting show. But then, how can anything with Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth be less than incredible?
