The Tonys Bounced Back

It must have been all the Spring Awakening fans!

They all wanted to see me!

With the market ratings, it's obvious that 3.9 million gay men watched the Tonys.

It was the lowest-rated Tonys ever. Last year's show doesn't count because it was only a 2-hour performance special, not a real Tonys. James Corden as host drew a lot more viewers.

In order to get a higher ratings, next year's Tony broadcast should be combined with Broadway Bares. No one would complain about the opening number.

Finally watching this now. Josh Lucas is gay, right?

Can anyone in Mr. Saturday Night sing on key?

I don't know, R6, but as I said in a previous thread, he has the worst cast of "gay voice" that I've ever heard -- so bad that I'm surprised he ever had any kind of a career as an actor.

Anyone who is surprised by or can't understand the incredibly obvious rebound in ratings for these award shows is beyond stupid.

I stopped watching the Tony's around 2017 and just downloaded the musical numbers from YouTube to watch the next day. This year, I'm not even interested in the numbers.i used to see 10-15 Broadway shows each season, and more prior to 2017. It's left a distaste in me between plays that lecture rather than entertain, alterations in most of the revivals that took out the bite, and lousy audiences. Not planning on going that often anymore. Last season, I saw 3 shows, and they left a distaste I can't get rid of.

The Dylan show looks and sounds amazing.

Also, Arianna DeBose is a terrific ringleader, even if there is something of a disconnect between her segments and the rest of the show. But all the criticism here about her is unwarranted. She’s a very natural host and seems like a lot of fun.

Ariana DeBose was a tour de force of entertainment hour after hour.

She put on a One-Woman Broadway Show to celebrate Broadway shows!

Magnificient.

Does Matt Doyle have a lower register?

This is not a rebound. People didn’t even know those asterisk Tonys happened last season. It’s a decrease from the season before that, so the trend is downwards, not up.

I LOVED A Strange Loop. I don’t how you can love theatre and not appreciate this.

I stan Lea Michele for saying with her spray tan, “I am NOT a racist.”

It’s a powerful message for these troubled times.

I thank God for the Tonys bouncing back, because without him nothing is possible — and that is true, and that will always be true.

Ms Porter should’ve done a proper vocal warm up.

So does Cynthia Erivo think she’s getting married today?

Ms. Porter doesn't have high notes any more, as he severely damaged his voice years ago through reckless misuse of it. As you may have noticed, there was at least one very questionable high note in his performance on the Tonys.

I love how Michael R. Jackson is looking at all that black fashion and writing his next show.

Well the Tonys may have bounced back, but the Company revival didn't. It's closing on July 31.

How stereotypical

people were unfamiliar with the shows and Broadway because of COVID, crime and the economy is not doing well as many shows have announced they will be closing after August.

Plaza Suite with SJP and hubby Matthew has its final performance July 10th

The Tony awards has bounced back in the sense that a stroke victim who can now blink with his left eye has bounced back.

Perhaps they will ask DeBose back to host next year.

Probably not R30 Her15 minutes are up! And I should know!

DeBose is a tour de force. The Oscars should get in line for her tohost.

Beanie will do the hosting next year.

And she will introduce Lea doing a scene...
