I just don't get the Come From Away buzz. Music is nice but the staging of that number was nothing special!

Serious Broadway FOMO when watching the Tony's! |

Featured actress in a play - Cynthia Nixon Thrilled for her. I saw them in the other roles, but loved the play & thought they were both superb. |

So as we currently stand, Hello Dolly! and The Little Foxes are the only two shows to have two wins. Both a Featured Actor/Actress and Costume Design!

Whoopi Goldberg said that the Falsettos recording was is due to go into cinemas whilst she was announcing their performance, so that's pretty cool! Doubt it'll make it to UK cinemas but still.

Best score - Dear Evan Hansen. We'll be looking back at this one in 5 years and thinking 'why'.

Best score - Dear Evan Hansen. We'll be looking back at this one in 5 years and thinking 'why'. I really like the music & songs of this. One of the few I have wanted to listen to away from the theatre from start to finish. However, I do love Groundhog Day, so really would love it pick up something. |

It just sounds like 15 other musicals and is 90% ballads. |

There seems to be a couple of surprises so far, I wonder if it will continue into some of the higher races?

Book - Dear Evan Hansen. The worst book of the bunch. This is winning Best Musical guys.

So of course I can only 'judge' by seeing out of context songs, and Ben Platt is clearly awesome, but I just don't get what he is doing that so incredibly head and shoulders above everyone else. I've seen a bootleg of his Elder Cunningham in BoM and he's basically doing that, but serious.

I've seen a bootleg of his Elder Cunningham in BoM and he's basically doing that, but serious. It's a very emotional performance & he lives the character so deeply, there's just something special about watching him perform in the show. I was really impressed. Having said that, I'd give the award to Andy Karl in Groundhog Day as he has so much to do in that show on a physical, emotional, comical & vocal level and makes it look easy. I'm sad he'll no doubt lose out to Ben. |

In my head, I thought if Dear Evan Hansen wins Book and Score, Come From Away will get Musical. But now I'm not so sure the way it feels.

Think that DEH rightly won best music and lyrics but personally thought the book was what let the show down.

If they want to honour Come From Away at all tonight, I think it will be Colella for the win.

Orchestrations - Dear Evan Hansen. A joke. At least when Hamilton sweeped last year it was actually deserved. Ugh.
