Here are my picks for highs (and lows) of Tony Night:
~ Loved the two former Finches (Robert Morse and Matthew Broderick) introducing the "How to Succeed" number, which was fantastic. How Daniel Radcliffe didn't score a nomination is beyond me. He's so charming, if NPH can't host next year, I know the go-to guy.
~ The "Book of Mormon" number was so good I almost didn't want to watch since you can't get tickets unless you crawl through the air shafts of the theater.
~ So moved by "The Normal Heart" winners, especially Larry Kramer.
~ Norbert and John Larroquette winning--yeah, I'm confused.
~ I don't get the "Anything Goes" revival's acclaim. Everybody looked bored, and the choreography was pretty blah. Sutton, you've done better.
~ Mark Rylance continues to be my hero.
~ Frances McDormand, I love you, but what the hell were you wearing? Did you just show up from tipping a cow?
~ Kudos to Bono and the Edge for having a sense of humor, but of all the songs in "Spiderman" to showcase, why pick that one? It was like an outtake from "Can't Hardly Wait." Who put Mary Jane in pink capris? I was so confused.
~ Neil Patrick Harris as host? Do I even need to speak? And can we figure out a way to bring that "Company" to Broadway. I know there are tv stars in it who have year-long commitments, but there must be some way to make this possible. I'll settle for Neil as Bobby, because clearly it's a role he's meant to play. Next year, let Hugh Jackman and Neil co-host and have them make out at the end of the show, because that's obviously what was meant to be. Those two would be the best gay power couple ever. When Neil sang "You're the Top" to Hugh, I instinctively yelled out "I bet he is!"
~ Overall, I liked the show. I love having all the shows (even closed ones) perform. Although, I would be pretty upset if I didn't get to be on television so that Memphis could perform AGAIN. Great host. Good musical numbers. A few nice speeches, and NPH continuing his reign as Coolest Guy in America.
Not too shabby.
