Tony Awards #10

Back again!

I have to say, with about a half-hour to go, the show so far has been without any shocking moments - no ridiculous dresses, no absurd acceptance speeches. A few laughs, but that's about it. What's up with that?

AH, here's Angela Lansbury. Maybe she'll do something wild. Nah, she's presenting a Lifetime Achievement award to Jerry Herman. A nice retrospective from his amazing catalog of songs. A standing ovation. He gives a moving speech. "The best of times is now."

Anne Hathaway looks stunning (as always) as she intros a song from Hair. Greta performance, with the cast rushing into the audience to mess with the crowd. Fun stuff.

Kristin Chenoweth somehow takes the stage and presents the award for Best Revival for a Musical. The winner: Hair! Groovy! The stage is packed with an army of cast and crew. The producer accepting seems a bit crazed, but who can blame him?

Commercial!
