400th Blog: Thoughts on the Tonys

I don't appreciate the treatment my religion is currently getting on Broadway, but there are enough of my favorites nominated tonight, so I'm going to watch.  But I am prepared to mute a lot...and I started watching late, so I can fast forward if need be!  That being said, here are my random thoughts on this year's Tony Awards:

• I want to see How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and not just because Harry Potter is in it.
• I hadn't heard any music from Catch Me If You Can before, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it's so jazzy.  And Norbert Leo Butz is still amazing!!!
• Shows coming to Denver in 2012:  Bring it On, Ring of Fire, Wicked, Addams Family, La Cage, Memphis, I Love You You're Perfect Now Change
• Yay for the Spider Man jokes!!!!  So funny!!!!!
• I want to see War Horse.
• Why did I think that The Scottsboro Boys was based on a Shakespeare play?  What show am I thinking of?  Hmmmmmm......  Ah, yes.  The Boys from Syracuse by Rodgers and Hart is based on Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors.
• Victoria Clark should have won.  She should always win.  She's AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
• HUGH JACKMAN SINGING WITH NEIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Okay, that was just awesome.  I LOVE me some Hugh Jackman...especially when he sings and dances!
• Wow!  John Larroquette's first time on Broadway and the guy wins a Tony!  Nicely done!
• Well, this might be the only time we see Bono and The Edge on the Tonys, because something tells me that Spider Man is not going to be winning any Tonys...ever.
• I never knew that Robin Williams was Santa Claus!!!
• What in the heck is Whoopi Goldberg wearing?  Is she trying to channel Professor McGonagal?
• I WANT TO SEE SISTER ACT!!!!!!!!!
• The War Horse horses are AMAZING!!!!!!  I really want to see that show, just to stare at the horse puppets!!!
• Memphis won last year.  Why are they performing again?
• I think Joel Grey is adorable.
• Sutton Foster was born to play Reno Sweeney!!!
• There's nothing like watching an entire Broadway company tap dance.
• I wonder how many people are shocked to see Stephen Colbert singing and dancing?
• Oops...I just saw who won Best Actress in a Musical.  Darn you, Josh Groban, for posting that on Facebook!
• Best Revival of a Musical:  Anything Goes!
• Wow, Frances McDormand...don't dress up or anything.
• SUTTON FOSTER WINS!!!!!!!  (This is the one I knew about early.)
• Sutton's tribute to her dresser of 9 years who is leaving her was so awesome!
• NORBERT LEO BUTZ WINS!!!!!!!!!!
• And......I don't care.  Big deal.  Moving on....

Thanks to my friend Jordan for chatting me with on Facebook while we both watched the show from our own houses.  Ain't technology grand?
