I like JBH due to the fact a his mother is in Plano Texas and b he also did a shoutout about the Mavericks sport. Hmm….Standard Heart wins all over again…is this gonna be a shut out
8-30- Catch Me if you can does their production selection… Live in Dwelling Color happens to become IMHO among the list of ideal Opening Figures on Broadway lately. Norbert Leo Butz could snag the Tony for Catch Me… through the iron grip of Book of Mormon. What do you believe
Note to John Benjamin Hickeys mom. The Mavs score is Dallas 32 Heat 27.
8-forty- Boo CBS will not clearly show Best Choreography which went to Kathleen Marshall for Nearly anything Goes. I always get peeved when Rob Ashford isnt going to win a Tony.

Yikes Somehow I missed reporting Ideal Music of the Musical…certainly I missed it while in the onslaught of Mormon wins. Ideal Music and Lyrics of the Musical go to Trey Parker Robert Lopez and Matt Stone for E-book of Mormon. I promise The actual Tony broadcast is considerably even more captivating than this increasingly exclusive list of winners implies.
By the way Tim Chappel Lizzy Gardiner win Perfect CostumeMusical for Priscilla Queen in the Desert. Desmond Heeley wins Greatest CostumePlay for that Importance of Staying Earnest.
Other awards go to Larry Hochman Stephen Oremus E-book of Mormon for Most effective Orchestrations.
nine-39- Sister Act performs. Whoopi Goldberg announces it. Turns out just about every last movie she does becomes a Broadway Musical. Coming soon Ghost the Musical. Really.
nine-45- Remaining nominess for Ideal Play War Horse as well as the Mother using the Hat are declared. NPH rides in on the Warhorse. What Thats a PUPPET It looks great. Have got to get tickets to War Horse
By the way I feel like I have a responsibility to all those soccer moms while in the midwest who assume they might take their preteen kids to see a charming perform about a Mom and Hat when they come to NYC this summer. The clearly show is genuinely referred to as The Motherfker with all the Hat rhymes with sucker but with an F. It is hilarious and a great reveal but it truly is probably not a person youd want the kids to see.
nine-49- The Common Heart wins Best RevivalPlay. Superhero handsome Patrick Wilson announces. FTR most everybody I know thats seen The Usual Coronary heart loves it.
FUN Actuality- Patrick Wilson attended the opening of Rooms- A Rock Romance. Rooms is now headed to Nebraskas Candy Project Theater.
9-55- Cast of Memphis performs what appears for being an unrehearsed effectiveness. Either that or the audio guy seriously over-sold his skills. The TDF kids who came to see Memphis a person night and surprised the cast by performing a quantity with them while in their seats steal the display. Serious kudos with the production team of Memphis who nabbed their second straight national Tony broadcast effectiveness in as many a long time. What a difference a Tony makes
ten-03- Samuel L Jackson announces War Horse for Most effective New Play.
ten-05- Something Goes performs. I really like this show and what a great period this yr for revivals Cole Porter and Oscar Wilde It just doesnt get anybetter revivals-wise. Sutton Foster and also the cast get 3 points from downtown on this 1. Which reminds me….
Note to JBHs mother- The score of the NBA Finals is currently Dallas 81 Miami 75. It really is the 4th Quarter with 11 minutes left to perform
ten-17- James Earl Jones and Vanessa Redgrave get standing ovation. Kudos to CTI mentor Jed Bernstein and also the rest on the Driving Miss Daisy manufacturing team for putting them together They present a montage on the plays from this time.
10-20- Christie Brinkley announces the all-star cast of Enterprise And yes thats Stephen Colbert FTR this functionality of Organization and Anything at all Goes so far get my vote for Best Performance AT the Tonys.
10-24- Best Revival of the Musical goes to Something Goes
ten-27- In Memorium with Tyne Daly. For my lovely friend Randall Wreghitt. On we go
Sorry JBHs Mom. Too choked up to check the score.
ten-35- Harry Potter er Daniel Radcliffe announce Frances McDormand as Preferred ActressPlay for Good People. Despite initial impressions of Ms. McDormands exceedingly casual Tony attire apparently jeans jackets are the new black Frances McDormand is a class act and accepts the award for your entire cast and business. Gets my award for Preferred Speech at the Tonys. And truthfully I thought her dressed down nature was kinda cool.
ten-38- No surprise right here. Sutton Foster wins for Perfect Actress Musical. It seems Frances McDormand steals her speech. But What Suttons dating Bobby Cannavale Rather cool. Shes in appreciate Really jealous. Nice shoutout from Sutton to her dresser whos going being an artist Kudos Sutton Having a nationally televised endorsement from this years Tony winner he is off to a great start
10-44- Roller coaster-feeling moment for me…Brilliant mix with Paul Schaffer first Weather Girl Martha Wash and cast of Priscilla Queen of the Desert but apparently the producers and marketing team of Priscilla are committed to keeping the flyover states inside dark about the actuality this show is really about drag queens.
JBHs Mother- The MAVERICKS WIN IT Still waiting on final score…… This is a banner evening to the Hickey family. And Dallas. And Cleveland.
10-50- Catherine Zeta Jones announces Mark Rylance for Preferred Operation by an Actor Perform for Jerusalem. FTR I havent seen this yet. I did see Bobby Cannavale with the Motherfcker while using Hat. He was brilliant. A effectiveness well worth the price of admission if not a 2011Tony.
10-54- Norbert Leo Butz wins for Catch Me If you can This is a massive win for Catch Me although not unexpected. This Tony win could be the difference between having to close post Tonys and running long enough to the audience to catch them. Norbert thanks his Catch Me dresser as well since the dresser he didnt get time enough to thank for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. I really like watching Norbert perform. His entrance kicks the energy level with the entire theater up a notch in everything hes in.
Reality- Norbert Leo Butz won a Tony for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels in 2006. He was also from the aformentioned Thou Shalt Not by Harry Connick Jr as well as ill-fated Enron. Enron ran for a longer-than-it-sounds-if-youd-seen-the-show 16 performances on Broadway in 2010. Of course that opinion could just be the Texas girl in me talking trash.
10-59 – Chris Rock tells it like it is actually. We know what the ideal musical is. It is like taking a hooker to dinner. You know youre gonna get laid. He also mentions the greatest basketball recreation ever and missing it sit following to Nathan Lane at the Tonys. I have a sneaking suspicion John Benjamin Hickeys mom defected into the Mavs sport many awards ago.
Very best Musical goes on the Book of Mormon. They thank Mormon founder Joseph Smith. Classy
11-03- Neil Patrick Harris does a proper beat down to Hugh Jackman with his hilarious speed through of what happened tonight at the Tonys courtesy of Inside Heights Lin Manuel Miranda and Tom Kail. Once again. Hilarious.
All and all there were absolutely no surprises on winners. But damn It truly is okay This year on Broadway was a little potty-mouthed so damn is really pretty mild. This Tony creation might just be the best Ive ever seen.
Cant wait until up coming calendar year I am curious to see how the broadcasts TV Figures faired against The very best basketball recreation ever
