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.

ariana's silver pink outfit is... i think the style is great and fits her beautifully but silver with pink...? i wish the silver was something else

edit - my issue is that it looks vaguely like an airlines logo

Patti looks fucking amazing

[scriptedending]

Low-key surprised she's only won three Tonys???

Okay so I was not excited but watching those little kids grin ear to ear during TMM had me going.

I'm going to SOB if they do anything from Spring Awakening. Mostly because Groff will cry.
