Angela was right, this live-blogging is tough work. Don't try this at home, kids! If not for DVR I'd never make it!
It's 9:24pm as we return. A couple of American Theater Wing executives come out to talk about the good work they do - and the Phantom of the Opera's chandelier drops on them - hilarious! And convincing! The "understudies" rush out and fight through the "script" - a funny way to get through the required dry catalog of the good work the group does. Holy cow, the actor just said the G-D curse word as he walked off (we're too genteel to repeat it here) and the censor bleeped at the wrong time! Someone's gonna get slapped on that one, even though he was obviously just joking around - he probably thought his mic was off!
Next (hey, the show must go on): a sample of the year's musicals: an excellent montage.
Next award: best direction of a musical. The winner: "Spring Awakening's" Michael Mayer. What a shock! Interesting - a quick shot from behind him - no wonder these people are nervous - he's talking in front of a crowd of about 10,000!
Next: a performance from "Company." A terrific performance, but it's a solo - not exactly a show-stopper. Still, excellent work.
Off to the next commercial - they're promoting Fantasia's upcoming performance heavily.
