So I didn't watch it, no tv 😪 but I was stalking the TonyAwards Twitter account. Hehe. But then, I had to go grocery shopping 2/3 into it and I MISSED ALL OF THE IMPORTANT STUFF. But while I was stalking, I wrote all my thoughts so I wouldn't have to jump back and forth between this and Twitter.

YES @kelliohara THIS IS IT THIS IS HAPPENING OH MY GOD YES!!!!!!!!!
-yay Fun Home!
-thought Mamma Mia would perform...
-I don't understand why Sutton presented the Featured Actress category and NPH the Leading. I mean, doesn't Sutton have a bigger impact on Broadway??
-Which leads to the fact that it only got 6.3 million viewers. They let Gigi perform just for Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale. Amanda Seyfried I understand, she's actually doing a show Off-Broadway. NPH just for the viewers. As much as I love Finding Neverland, it was for Matt Morrison. And Jennifer Lopez was only there cos Kristin did The Boy Next Door with her.
But the Tony Awards did light up social media!
〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰
Performance version:
-" what I said about King and I. And Tony winner (what??!!!?!??) Kelli O'Hara.
-Sydney Lucas. To quote Laura Benanti,"I wanna be @SydneyLucasNYC when I grow up."
-On the Town--beautiful. Beautiful choreography. Love love love.
-Same to An American In Paris. Lovely.
-Oh yeah, Kristin!! OTTC and all!
-The Visit looks cool. Strange, but cool. Did anyone notice that Chita really seemed to be leaning on the cane?
-Lisa Howard. She killed the belting. In the best possible way.
-best opening number in YEARS
-Stronger. That's it. But I wish thy did Believe...but LMK was on the red carpet so...XD
-Yaaas Something Rotten!
-Yep Kristin and Alan prove them selves to be two of the best hosts ever.
So that's it folks. Tonys 2015. Your thoughts?
