Wow, Sara and Cynthia turned saccarine into beautiful sentiment.

I feel like cynthia could have just had a solo here

Apparently she just released an album last week with 20(!!!) tracks on it. She's been all over performing songs from it.

[Wyliefan]

The story of Operation Mincemeat is one of my dad's favorite WWII stories.

Although now I get the revival's finale where it looks like Norma rips out Joe's heart and eats it.

 

[Wyliefan]

I don't do as good a job of keeping up with Broadway as I used to. Haven't heard of several of these shows.

 

[my little pony]

[my little pony]

Cynthia saved her best outfit for this ending.

I missed the Hamilton number because of the movie, but fortunately it's already popping up on social media. That was spectacular!

I envy all of you who have the opportunity to see Broadway on Broadway with the current awards season.

I get to experience it through Broadway on Tour, not the newest but still it's great.

We talk about doing a NY week trip and go to several plays. But it's not a reality yet.

Oh dear... Michael's lip synch. Well the Ina Bauer was fantastic though.

Thanks to CNN I actually got to see one of the nominated plays this year! Although I wish there had been more shots of the whole stage of Good Night And Good Luck because it looked like the set design was spectacular.

Thoughts on the broadcast:

• I'm over Cynthia Erivo. Yes, she has a lovely voice, but her outfits are ridiculous and I'm so tired of her ego. And of course the first ad for Wicked Pt II was during the broadcast nooooooo
• I'm going to trust @my little pony that Maybe Happy Ending is good, because I wasn't impressed by the crap robot impersonations in the performance. Dead Outlaw and Operation Mincemeat were the only two musicals that looked interesting. Dude from the Bobby Darin musical was awful.
• I was mad that Gracie Lawrence didn't win, but then I discovered that I had actually seen Natalie Venetia Belcon perform on Broadway (Avenue Q) so I felt a little better after that.
