Thoughts so far:

The first hour wasn’t as bad as I was expecting. I almost enjoyed the opening number.

Nice to see a couple wins for Six!

They are spreading the love around with the awards so far. I like it when that happens.

Really disappointed Angela didn’t make it for the lifetime achievement award. I hope she’s ok!

The opening number was meh. Ariana sounded amazing and moved great (thought her hair looks terrible), but the song wasn’t good. I miss the days when LMM wasn’t too big to write for award shows.

The Music Man performance did not remotely make me want to see the show.

I wish they had put score in the televised broadcast especially since it’s unlikely they’ll win anything else tonight. I know they usually alternate between book and score but with the top two contenders potentially splitting the two, it would have been smart to have both.

Edit: Re: the opening, IA. I think Ariana did well but considering it was the 75th Tonys, it feels small

Yeah, I was hoping for some sort of big splash like NPH’s Bigger. I’m not sure that will ever be topped.

I honestly rewatch that opening all the time, best award show opening ever!

Same! It’s brilliant!
