My assorted thoughts on the Tony Awards:

1. I kind of preferred the script-less format! It cut down on cringey jokes and highlighted more dance and music, which works better for the Tonys than for other award shows

2. Terrible that Jason Robert Brown was cut off by music just as he mentioned Mary Phagan. You could tell that the cast/prod team stayed onstage longer to see if the music would stop. I just know the neo-nazis who protested the first preview of Parade are going to blame this on a Jewish conspiracy

3. Shucked had such a great medley for what is, I’m sorry, a very underwhelming show! I think a lot of people going to see the show based on this performance are gonna come out disappointed when they realize its like 95% boring balads, 1% Alex Newell and 4% fun energetic songs

4. Parade and Kimberly Akimbo felt like they won best revival/original music less for the actual production strength and more for the poignancy of their stories, which is fine tbh

5. Everyone should go see Some Like It Hot!!

Addendum: Lea Michele randomly popping out to do her contractually obligated Funny Girl performance was peak Bway drama
