Last years Best Musical winner Memphis performs...

Look, I agree that the Tony Awards use this night to sell themselves, but if one of the performances were cut down, maybe they can play up the Best Play nominees or you know, put some of the non-televised awards back on television.

That said, having the kids from one of the schools that benefit from the American Theater Wing dance in the aisles during this number was a great touch.

I wonder if they're going to be doing a scene from Company...

If Stephen Colbert, Christina Hendrickson and Jon Cryer are going to be performing, then they probably are. Plus, it'll be a great commercial for the movie theater screenings of the stage show.

It's STARTING!

The 2011 Tony Awards...

Host Neil Patrick Harris is telling us that the theater is okay for straights again.

Okay, I liked it. Though I felt bad for Brooke Shields and always glad to see Stephen Colbert.

Good night for television...

It's a crazy busy night for television today - somewhat odd for a summer night. On ABC at 9P, there's Game 6 of the NBA Finals (go Mavs!), on Oxygen at 9P, the series premiere of The Glee Project, the Tonys on CBS at 8P and, of course, Mob Wives/Audrina/Saddle Rance on VH1, starting at 8P. Think I'm going to watch the Finals, DVR the Tonys, and DVR the encores of Oxygen and Vh1 programming. Or, maybe I'll watch the Tonys and DVR the Finals. Then I can potentially live blog the Tonys.
