Tell me you watched only the most entertaining night of television of the entire year?! And tell me you know what I'm talking about!! If you do - we can be best friends! If you don't - well Troy didn't either until we got married and now he LOVES it (although he might not admit it in public)!!
The TONY'S!!!
The only night when you can sit back in the comfort of your own home and, for free (because most GOOD shows cost at least $80+ per ticket) watch fabulous performances from the best Broadway shows!
I have to say - the last few years, I was sorely disappointed!! The revivals were just OK, the new musicals were just typical and nowhere near clean entertainment and frankly the format of the show and the performances were just OK. But this year............................WOW!!
The new shows: Xanadu (not really musical genius, but funny), Cry-Baby (wow phenomenal dancing!), In The Heights (really new and fresh, collaberates old Braodway with rap and pop - great voices!) and Passing Strange (so happy this didn't win!).
The REVIVALS - now here's what you wanted to watch!! Gypsy with Patti Lupone (WOW), Sunday In The Park With George (another Sondheim gem), Grease (fun and light entertainment that we all grew up watching) and South Pacific (a Broadway classic).
The PERFORMANCES - all I can say if you missed it is "Thank Goodness for youtube.com!" Patti Lupone singing Roses Turn - it was historic!! So here you go - watch it!
