15 minutes to go! My fingers are numb, and the room is spinning. Will I make it to the end?
Ah, I'm just kidding. Glad to hear there's a number from Jersey Boys coming up in the next segment - it's one of my all-time favorite musicals.
David Hyde Pierce is here to present Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical - the winner (they seem to be moving fast here) - the winner, Alice Ripley, Next to Normal - the crowd is going wild. She quotes John F. Kennedy at the top of her lungs, praising art. The first vigorous speech I've heard yet.
Audra McDonald presents Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical. The winner: the three young performers from Billy Elliot, the Musical. It's the first time in history that three actors have shared an award. They take turns saying "Wow, this is unbelievable." They recover and manage to get through it well. The crowd loves it.
Shaundra Wilson presents the touring show of Jersey Boys - with a difference. Five Frankie Vallis from different productions singing together. Cool. Great show!
Commercial!
