Back for more!
At the halfway mark, and my fingers are hanging in there.
We're back with a bunch of the Creative Tonys, most of which seemed to go to Billy Elliot - though one of them was a tie, which must be a rare event. I'll have to recap those after the show.
We start off with a pitch about a forum, "Working in the Theatre," to learn about creating theatre from the pros. Neat.
Hey, it's John Stamos. Best Performance by a featured actor in a musical. The winner, Gregory Jbara, Billy Elliot. (He plays the kid's dad.) He brings his wife on stage with him, and looks like the first candidate to cry during his acceptance speech. No, he holds it together. Good for him.
Now, Featured Actress in a Musical: the winner - Karen Olivo from West Side Story. She gives a great, emotional speech - and then cries. She's the first, but probably not the last.
Carrie Fisher introduces a song from Next to Normal. More sound problems, but mostly minor. Strong stuff!
Break!
