I remember my ex and I laughing at the time when Bret fell because we thought he had missed his cue to exit the stage, and it just looked funny on TV. Of course, I felt terrible afterward when I learned that he’d been seriously injured. 🙁
Thank you for posting. I was there in the 3rd balcony and in the last row. It cost me $260.00 and it was my first of 3 times at the Tonys but what memories.....and Dolly and Liza and Stockard Channing and everybody was onstage . I had to wear a tux and blend in but I was just and average joe who bought a ticket on Ticketmaster the day they went on sale. And I lived in Manhattan..... What glorious memories I have......of my times there in New York
why don't we have tony award openings like this one anymore where everyone can go onstage and sing and have a big dance party with all the nominated shows?
and it's because "Hair" has a part at the end of the show when everyone is invited onstage to dance and they have a dance party at the end of every show. so they had the casts of the shows come join them onstage instead of the audience. that's why.
The duet with Stockard Channing and Aaron Tveit was so, so strange. Like, why? Lol it was just confusing and hard to enjoy any one part, which is a shame bc really I just wanted to hear Aaron belt out "I'm Alive."
well let's be fair the EXACT same thing happened with Disney's Beauty and the Beast on Broadway, the critics didn't really like it and it only won for the costumes....except Shrek didn't' have the staying power (must have been the Shrek fatigue that hurt it)
YESSSSSS! Marcia Gay Harden! What a performance, what an actress, what a talent! A great play heightened by a superb cast! Loved this play and love love love this actress. Thank you Theatre Wing for the recognition given to this wonderful play! Smile Always :-)

Big, fat, tears of happiness, the only way I can celebrate Dame Angela, whom I admire and adore since she scared me (and Mummy) to death in "The Manchurian Candidate". Mummy was a devoted fan, and watching Angela gave her comfort and much, much pleasure during her illness! Happy to see the respect and affection laid at her feet by her peers!!! Thank you 😇🤗🎭
I do. I have complete telecasts for every year it has been televised! However, the years 1984-2004 are all on video so I have to convert to digital. It's a pending project but my partner is hoping to work on our RU-vid channel in the coming months, so stay tuned. I have a LOT of theatre related videos...much that has not surfaced here yet. Message me privately and I will see what I can do to get that 2004 done sooner
The show where Bret Michaels got seriously injured by a setpiece, after his performance with the cast of "Rock of Ages" (love that movie!) It also led to his brain hemorrhage that nearly killed him a year later, as well as a lawsuit between the Tony Awards and CBS
The technical staff for audio/sound should be shot! They all were asleep at the switch. All those talented actors put in jeopardy by these technical sound technicians who royally screwed up! The sound out of sync, the scratching audio, and sporadic sound quality was sorely missed.
Well God Bless MissPoochSmooch - it looks like she has beaten me to the punch and gotten most if not all of those recent 30 years of Tony telecasts up here...amazing. My computer has had so many issues and problems I have yet to get my VHS and DVDs converted to digital. Looks like 2010 is here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d5YUhlHRF7o.html
silvia grassi I am pretty sure that was the year Jeremy Piven dropped out of David Mamet's "Speed-the-Plow" with the explanation of mercury poisoning from too much sushi. www.playbill.com/news/article/jeremy-piven-abruptly-departs-broadways-speed-the-plow-butz-steps-in-156226
