Hey Mickey, I’m a professional baker and I’ve been doing gluten free baking for years. If you are ever in need of gluten free recipes especially for desserts, I’m happy to share them with you.

Klapaucius!

@yf2734 I really enjoyed the non -scripted Tonys because of the shown snippets of the nominated plays and musicals - fingers crossed that continues! Agree with you that Joel Grey And John Kander deserved a better moment on the main broadcast. Does anybody know where to find David Lindsay-Abaire and Jeanine Tesori’s speech? Really happy for their win, as well as for Kimberly Akimko’s triumphant and joyful night. Thrilled for Victoria Clark and what a classy speech. The opening number was a pleasant and fantastic surprise! It was neat to see the show in a different venue - beautiful theater indeed.

I spat out my drink😂😂😂

I wonder if it's big in the UK bc there's an excellent BBC special with Neil in his prime. The Sweet Caroline clip is usually floating around KZfaq but it gets copy-claimed a lot then reposted. He's performing & you can only see him & his guitar but the BBC had an orchestra backing him. You know it's the right clip bc a little bit into the song, the music fills out & Neil says something like "oh those strings!" & blisses out. It's adorable & a great version of the song so I hope you can find it & enjoy & share with your Dad!

I was in a original show where we sang “Sweet Caroline” and the whole audience sang with us.

Honestly a labour of love!

Brava! Maybe I’ll do that next year

I love that you have a wave pun in your name. Also agree about technical. I don't know why all these award shows aren't more into highlighting craft & they relegate them to a B-event. When I was a kid we wanted to see how the makeup was done, the pyro, the sound, the effects, etc. The "making of" anything is extremely popular & the stage + screen industries are always talking about how under-appreciated their crafts are. Well...let us appreciate them then! Show their categories, make something interesting to incorporate them! On a related note, there should be more categories for awards in general as stage + screen are evolving. Culture keeps getting broader, more nuanced, more sophisticated & the awards shows all feel so narrow + constrained, & the constant centering of performers + other playbill-bio-worthy names while tech + craft get shunted aside contribute to that narrowing.

Dated a lighting director they don't get enough attention

Really anywhere in Massachusetts you can start a Sweet Caroline singalong. I've been waiting in the Boston subway when a buskers starts it and *everyone* joins in.

@@MelissaBlue oh, absolutely!

I second more clips!

Last year's Tony Awards was so cringy. By comparison, this year's was much better, imperfections and all.

it was really cute and well-done but not exactly an original idea

Aw thank you! Glad you enjoyed 😁

Bravo ❤️🎉

I thought that was odd because most of the other noms performed. Like, why not showcase why these people are up for it?

How fun and festive! My goal is to celebrate that way next year!

I think that title belongs to “You Light Up My Life”

I think that's definitely inaccurate.

In Boston (or anywhere in Massachusetts), you can totally start a Sweet Caroline singalong anywhere. I've been in a subway station and a busker will start to play... and *everyone* joins in.

I’d go for One Less Problem/Can’t Feel My Face, but I see what you mean, Roar has become their go to marketing song but it’s a Katie Perry cover whereas the actual songs in the show are presented with much more clever and unexpected orchestrations.

@@evancourtney7746 My husband commented that he thought it might be nice for people who couldn't get Katy Perry concert tickets. His low opinion of jukebox musicals was not changed by this number.

already announced the national tour.

it has very good advance sales. it will last. top 5 shows in grosses and audience attendance. very nostaglia music.

I agree. Also liked the natural and genuine vibes of this year’s telecast.

We screamed. Sadly I wasn't filming!

Everyone knows what that means; he lives in the UK not under a rock. Arthur Conan Doyle was writing about the KKK in the 1800s

@@pseudonymous9153 Hey I didn't want to assume. I feel like I have a pretty good knowledge of the world, but I didn't know what an Orangman was until a couple of years ago. Also, "grand wizard" I feel is less used than "Klansmen".

@@MickeyJoTheatre ahh bummer, but wow her delivery was incredible!

I gasped & then cheered when she said it

I love that you think our kitchen process was chill 😅 this sounds fun though and something we should absolutely do!

@@MickeyJoTheatre a little drama never hurt the Tonys lol but obv no matter what you do we'll watch, bc your Tony Tradition is F U N

Beanie failed in the role, get over it. Lea made the show a success.

@@Makeji I'm not convinced Lea is a good person and I wouldn't pay to watch her in anything. But yes, she did make this mediocre show a success (with support from the rest of the cast). So it's a bit silly to act like they can't promote it because of Beanie.

I didn't know Ariana was supposed to be in Kiss of a Spiderwoman! We had tickets and then they replaced that show with Spamalot (which was fun). I think they cited scheduling conflicts (?) but I would have loved to see her in that!

@@Chibbykins The FG performance was the best part of the show and the only reason I watched. Awards shows are boring and I hate the self-aggrandizing of actors giving themselves awards. I watched because of Ramin. Period. Had I known FG was at the end I would have waited to turn it on. As for Lea, I think this is the way the Tony folks felt they could reward her for what might have likely been a win for her last year had she opened instead of Beanie. (Judging from the performance of the woman who sang Wishing and won Best Actress last year, I think I'm correct.) From what she's said, singing as Fanny at the Tony's was her dream, so good for her. As for being a good person. I believe people can grow and change, otherwise why are we here? I doubt she's the same woman at 36 that she was during Glee. A lot of life has happened to her. I really don't care. I don't have to live with her.

Beanie should never have been cast. She is a good comedic actress, but she is not a great singer. I think the producers did a real disservice to the production and to Beanie by casting her. The role was originally written for Barbra Streisand to feature her vocal ability, therefore to not have chosen someone who could at least come close to her singing ability is an affront to the show and to Barbra's legacy. Also I went to theatre camp with Lea and she was only ever lovely. I can't speak to her after that, but my hope is that she has learned from whatever pain she caused others. Everyone deserves a redemption, and talent is talent.

The festive food was fantastically fun! It makes me want to do that! I am thrilled Kimberly Akimbo won! 🤗

They're on the CBS KZfaq channel.

A lot of the individual shows have posted the full performances on their social medias!

The entire awards show is streamed on Paramount+

Celebrate Alex Newell getting their Tony, in front of Lea Michelle.

That sounds reasonable, especially as the fear that both women and nonbinary people could get shut out if it's entirely an open category. But how should nonbinary characters be handled?

That doesn't fix it when there are non-binary characters like in Head over Heels

This is the thing - short of concocting a very convoluted medley including sections of 'Better' and 'This Time', I don't know what else they could have performed

@@MickeyJoTheatre Exactly -- "This Time" would be great, but the logistics of the skating probably wouldn't work. "Father Time" is by far my favorite song of the show, but it would make no sense to do a song that doesn't include Kimberly at all. "Make a Wish" is the only other one that I could see working, sort of.

Well I didn't care or know much about the show beforehand but I thought that number was incredible and now I'm interested, especially if that was considered a weak choice

I was thinking “This Time” as well. Kimberly Akimbo producers wanted to do ice skating but it was too costly. Glad they ended up doing Anagram (although that wasn’t my first choice either).

Given the restrictions/difficulties of staging the other songs for TV, I thought Anagram made the best sense for the Tony Award. Plus, it gave exposure for Justin as well as Nina, Olivia, and Michael...all making their Broadway debut with this show. BTW, after last night's show, the cast members (plus Jeanine Tesori & David Lindsay-Abaire) came on stage with letter placards to spell out "SUBLIME CAST". They moved around to rearrange their letters to say, "BEST MUSICAL". Followed by a speech by Victoria Clark acknowledging the understudies, support staff, back of house, the band, and the audiences for all their support. Such a class act!

That's a great song.

🤣

Me too! There HAD to be corn somewhere!

So good! So good!

yes and thanks for this video 🤗❤️🎭

Ditto!!

I can't get CBS either! So I missed it

at least it is natural reaction.

It has been, and continues to be, VERY hot in the UK!

Fun fact - Caroline Kennedy can't stand the song. And it was inspired by her!

if your outside the usa/canada not sure. but CBS Channel in your area, paramount+ & Pluto

He did not choreograph it. I don't remember the name but it was a woman.

@@deborahjohansen1776 Ariana mentioned the coreographer's name after the number. Ariana was great in it!

The choreographer was Karla Puno Garcia.

likely jerry mitchell he got a special award as a choregrapher, he was also an actor.

And then she just mentioned on Seth Meyers that the jump down the stairs was not planned at all. She was just supposed to fall backwards but in the moment, she decided to leap down the stairs and trust her WSS costar to catch her.
