Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 11, 2012 Members Share Posted June 11, 2012 <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/UgvG2pKQAXE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> As for this year's Tony's, I was happy for Once, which I initially saw off-Broadway and had the deepest emotional connection to that I haven't had in a while. It's more like a play with songs than a typical musical. It was far better than the movie it was adapted from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 11, 2012 Members Share Posted June 11, 2012 What do you think of James Corden winning? I know a lot of people here hate NPH - did you have any opinion on his hosting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 11, 2012 Members Share Posted June 11, 2012 I do not like NPH, he's way too self-aware and cutesy for my taste. Everything is so staged and "look at me, I'm so funny and talented!" with him. Ugh. I'm happy for James Corden. I haven't seen One Man, Two Guvnors though. I liked Gavin & Stacey, so it's always nice to see someone have success that most Americans probably have never heard of. He seems like a genuinely nice lad too.

Members DRW50 Posted June 11, 2012 Members Share Posted June 11, 2012 He seems to be fairly unpopular in the UK (a lot of "He's gotten above himself" feeling). I have only seen him on Doctor Who but I enjoyed him on there; he even came back the next season. I was reading about all the controversy over Sondheim's condemnation of the Porgy and Bess remake and how this almost killed the show before it even opened. I wonder how their business is. I guess if Eric ever comes back, he'd know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 11, 2012 Members Share Posted June 11, 2012 To be honest, the Porgy and Bess remake looked like a mess to me overall. Though I have only seen clips of it and heard some of the songs. Audra McDonald, who won the Best Actress in a Musical Tony, is a big operatic ham that turns me right off.

Members Khan Posted June 11, 2012 Members Share Posted June 11, 2012 Here are Stephen Sondheim's comments, published as a "Letter to the Editor" in the New York Times, regarding the current "Porgy & Bess" revival. http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/08/10/stephen-sondheim-takes-issue-with-plan-for-revamped-porgy-and-bess/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted June 11, 2012 Members Share Posted June 11, 2012 What movie was it adapted from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 The film had the same name. It was an Irish/independent film. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_(film) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 Between the movie and the B'way show, though, I'm just sick of hearing about "Once." I'd much rather see "Ounce", the heart-warming tale of two potheads who find their way (through the haze) to each other...through song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 Poor James Earl Jones. For a hot second, he thought he'd won the Tony. Basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
