That's all for the Pluto broadcast. All the other awards will be presented on the CBS broadcast starting in about 13 minutes.

Only one upset, I think most expected "Life of Pi" to win Play Costume Design as it included the amazing animal puppets.

"New York, New York," "Kimberly Akimbo," and "Sweeney Todd" have all announced coming national tours for those (like me) live in the sticks where getting to NYC to see Broadway shows.

Also, as a bit of trivia, the theater where tonight's awards are happening in the Washington Heights neighborhood was renovated in large part due to "Hamilton" writer Lin Manuel Miranda.

I live on the other side of the continent in another country but I've seen videos of Bonnie Milligan performing online and she's absolutely stunning in the videos so I can only imagine how good she is in person.

I last saw Jordan Donica as Freddy in My Fair Lady. Same songwriting team, extremely different role.

That Camelot medley was very awkwardly spliced together, but I love the voices. And the costumes.

Unlike most people who loved it, I had very mixed feelings about the show (which is probably considered the favorite to win Best Musical), but Bonnie Milligan delivers a major scene stealing star turn in the cast.

I really want to see this play. I don't think I'll be able to, but there are rumors that it may be adapted for a mini-series.

I've heard that too. I hope it is.
