At the halfway mark, and I have to say that despite some strong performances, so far the show has been just OK. Maybe I'm expecting too much, or maybe it's the stress of live-blogging. The things I do for you, gentle readers!
Back to the show. The cast of Hairspray salutes the hair stylists (natch). Now it's time for the "here's what the American Theatre Wing is all about" part of our show.
Whoopi gives us a recap of the four nominees for Best Play (with a nifty computer-animated backdrop behind her).
Gabriel Byrne hands out the award for Best Direction of a Play. The winner: Anna D. Shapiro, August: Osage County. She talks about how lucky she's been. Will she cry? She's holding it together, but barely. A nice classy, emotional speech.
We go to the stage of Spamalot, with Whoopi standing in for the Lady of the Lake. Eh.
Break!
