*Very glad LaChanze won. I just love her.

*3PO had a very WEIRD number but strangely, I want to see it now. Now that it's closing! I also want to see The Color Purple and Sweeny.

*What is UP with presenters who can't be bothered to look at their text before showing up and running off with their gift bag embarrassing themselves stumbling over their tele-prompter reading not just once but several times? I found that very unprofessional. Paul Rudd and the woman with whom he presented had the easiest gig in the world and they muffed it.

*I wish Megan had won but I'm thrilled she was even nominated. So amazing to see local talent make good like that. I do wish the featured number from Pajama Game had featured her a bit more, since it WAS her song!

*I wish they'd shown more from the "Memorable moments"--historic wins would've been cool to see.

*It took them SIXTY YEARS to replace Patricia Neal's Tony???

*The iconic Hal Prince characters "live montage" was HILARIOUS. They looked like a poster for Forbidden Broadway.

*I really want to see History Boys, although if felt that way before the Tonys.

*Watching that guy win Best Actor for History Boys, I was wondering how many 300-lb. women would ever win. He was morbidly obese.

Did I say something wrong? I thought it was an interesting question so I Googled and found an interview where she mentioned it.

no, no, i'm sorry, i sound much snarkier in those posts than i ever meant to be!

you are totally right about that, when i said "ok, ok. i could make a billion more protests here, but i'll reel it in! :)" i was basically going to whine about how the late 70's made different body types more acceptable, and then probably something that could sound bad about how it's more societally acceptable for african-american women to be large. (as opposed to asian or white women.)

and then, i really did wonder how it would come up in conversation.

i didn't mean to be construed as rude and sarcastic, i apologize.
