So far a great evening! 42nd Street did a wonderful closing to act 1 and Hamilton opened really well. I think catherine’s doing really well - it’s fun in the room anyway! Currently sat across the isle from the ensemble of Hamilton which is sort of epic ...

Well I hope all of you there are having a great time. The closest I’ve got to the Royal Albert Hall tonight is seeing it on TV in a scene from Spiceworld The Movie.

Overall a mixture of winners which is nicer than a clean sweep. Sad for Jamie which I really think deserved better. Though I haven’t seen it I sense Girl From The North Country was well deserved wins too.
For my personal “horse in the race” I’m so pleased Angels got Revival, and truly deserved. I do think Marianne deserved to win for steering that beast. McArdle lost to a worthy opponent and he’ll have plenty of chances yet. And of course Queen Denise was a worthy winner. I am slightly bitter about Andrew, if he’d lost to other Andrew less so, but I did feel they were ahead of the other nominees in their category. But hey ho...

In the room she was hilarious! Clearly not great at reading an autocue though! None of the presenters had autocue, just Catherine. |

I would have put Paddy Considine before Bryan Cranston for best actor, but anyways, congratulations to The Ferryman, I'm not that much of a musical fan and wasn't overly impressed by Hamilton but congratulations to them as well, it was pretty obvious even before it opened that they were going to win a shedload of awards.

So glad Hamilton got Best Musical (duh, we all knew it) and Giles won Best Actor in a Musical.
Shocked 42nd Street didn't win Best Revival.

So the Guardian says if you wanted a seat for Hamilton you'd have to wait until a Thursday matinee in August. And yet having just gone on the Delfont Mackintosh website, there are seats ( premium ) for virtually every performance except in July. While none of us can deny its a hit and to a great extent deserves to be, I can't help but be annoyed that the show's PR are prone to exageration and worse than that the Guardian doesn't even check a fact such as that when it is handed to them.

So glad Jamie got nothing So glad 42nd Street got nothing except costume. They can still run expensive TV adverts to get people in at £15. When they’re not papering. |

Every year you think this can't get any worse, and every year it does. Just horrific.

Oh that's harsh folks. I think she's doing well and the performances so far have been very slick.

No she isn’t that bad. From the telly watching point of view, you don’t actually need a compère.
By the way, the two Andrews woz robbed.

That 42d Street number was so underwhelming... maybe it was the camera angle - the smaller stage - It may be impressive live - but this didn't really sell it for me.

I didn't agree with the amount of awards Hamilton won and definitely not with Michael Jibson winning over Cleve September, but I couldn't helo but cry everytime they won something else. I hate to sound soppy, while a British musical deserved those awards - Hamilton truely changed my life and seeing it being appreciated will always make me emotional.
