I'm getting really excited about the Tonies, guys.

So... I'm gonna sort of blog, in a way.

Seriously, though, I'm getting so dorky excited, mostly because I've seen a hell of a lot of the shows this year, which is new, and there is a Rent anniversary performance, which I am undoubtedly going to laugh at a lot. But Dee will be there! And I am rooting for Patti so hardcore for Best Actress, you don

So, I think I did not win my office Tony pool, having only predicted 12 out of 26. But I was pretty pleased about Patti--and I don't know if you know this but she's not always been my favorite, mostly because she scares me. In this role, though, like...win. And she did. And when the orchestra came at the end of her speech I was immediately struck by the realization--and I wonder if the Tony producers were too--that *there was nothing they could do* to make Patti stop talking before she was ready. Like, usually the last resort is cutting the mic--but it's PATTI, so she could just talk right over the orchestra! They would have had to use one of those big hooks!

Also, I am afraid that Passing Strange may not make it to the fall, but if you can see it, you should, because it is SO SO SO amazing.

And Mark Rylance...wtf. But I'm seeing his show on Tuesday--which means, Bradley Whitford, here I come, holycrap.

That was Laura, um, I think it's the one you're referring to. In which case, she is my FAVORITE EVER you don't even know. Best part? "Oh look there is Arthur he is standing hi Arthur!!"

She was so geeky and I have a feeling if I ever win a Tony it will be the same deal.
