Orchestrations - Dear Evan Hansen. A joke. At least when Hamilton sweeped last year it was actually deserved. Ugh. Ok now this one is surprising. I have a sweep feeling coming on... |

Wait, did they just screw up by saying Bette, David and the Company of Hello Dolly coming up??

This is really not the best Tony's there's ever been. Having seen Groundhog Day in full and now their Tony's performance, I totally get the 'out of context' thing. If I'd never seen it I don't know how enticed I'd be, but actually all the performances so far have chosen some really weird extracts (maybe with the exception of DEH) but none have been the 'WOW' you come to expect of the Tony's.

It's a joke you perform a song from Hello Dolly no one knows when the main star of Hello Dolly is sat in the audience and is perfectly capable of doing the performance. A real joke.

Mmm... so Dear Evan Hansen has won the Best Musical Tony then, and judging by this momentum Ben is 100% winning.

Know what you mean! Worried Groundhog Day won't get the audience to keep going. I think like me people think they won't like it, but when you go, you enjoy it. Surprised they chose that song. |

I'm still holding out hope they honour Andy Karl, but the way this is going, Ben is winning (still deservedly so!), no chance of an Andy upset.

Yes I totally agree! I had no intention of seeing GhD in London until I went on the day on a whim with friends and loved it. But I'm also surprised they chose the emotional climax as it will have most certainly not been anywhere near as emotional in that performance. |

I imagined Great Comet to win more than it is going too. It only really has a chance in two more of its nominated categories, which if it wins, means it only walks away with four of its twelve nominations. I was expecting it to be the biggest winner of the night!

Come on Groundhog, just one award! Don't be the only Best Musical nominee to not get one, you deserve so much more than this!

So much belt. So much placement. So much scoop. Those two woman are so classy and I just loved that War Paint performance. Might be my favourite of the night so far!!

Choreography - Bandstand
From what I've heard, that's probably deserved to be fair.

Choreography - Bandstand From what I've heard, that's probably deserved to be fair. I predicted that, it was a gut instinct and I'm thrilled! From what i've seen its great and glad to see so many different shows getting at least one. But... whats ths deal with Comet? Is it part of some controversy or something? I would of thought that was the obvious winner here? |
