Tony awards discussion

Cordon opening was very entertaining. But wth did that production number have to do with the Temptations???

Corden  is a really talented performer. Wonderful opening. Wish they would have broadcast Bob Mackie’s win for The Cher Show

I’m going with The Ferryman.  Bryan Cranston.  Oklahoma.

 I was 3 for 3.  What do I win?

Ricky Kirschner, one of the executive producers of the show, is from South Orange. His father was Don Kirschner, the famous music industry impresario. .

 And Stephanie J Block from The Cher Show is from SOMa and Ali Stroker from Okalohoma is from Ridgewood but Papermill Playhouse trained.

I missed the first hour - I need to see the opening - last 2 hours was a bit underwhelming.  

Cranston needed to win - that performance was insane.  

Ali Stroker’s performance was tremendous, though I can’t watch “I Cain’t Say No” without thinking of this “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” song that parodies that and other classic musical tunes whose themes and lyrics are kind of cringeworthy for modern audiences.

His speech was very succinct! Basically said, this is very encouraging for an 80 year old, thank you! And walked off stage.
