Tonight

The Tonys are rarely surprising. I love them, but they might be the single most predictable award show on TV. This year wasn't different. Hair, Billy Elliot and Next To Normal dominated.

The awards are secondary at the Tonys, what they're really meant to be is a commercial for Broadway. And they didn't fail in that. I was sitting with my friends watching and we wanted to see every single show nominated. Of course we're unable to afford to go see every show, but it was still unbelievable.

Neil Patrick Harris hosted, in a leather suit, but you know, he's gay, it's the Tonys, it's totally allowed.

He summed up the whole thing very well in his final number.

"This show couldn't be any gayer if Liza was made mayor and Elton John took flight..." (it was a Wierd Al-ized version of "Tonight" from West Side Story)
