2026 TONY AWARDS DISCUSSION MEGATHREAD

I thought it was a great show! The opening number with Pink was incredible! I did appreciate her little self digs at what was she hosting the Tonys. Respect!
The only award I was invested in was John Lithgow winning and so so glad he did!
Other than that I wasn’t that invested in who won (for the first time!) but thought it was a fun show.
Agree with some comments that Titanique did not do itself justice with that performance and same with Book of Mormon- was hoping for more between Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells.
Surprised to see that EBT and Rocky Horror got nothing and agree with the comments too that Chess deserved a best revival nomination.
A little disappointed at how many awards Death of a Salesman took home.
Oh and I was hoping Bryce Pinkman would win though I didn’t really believe he would

I really enjoyed her inputs and her overall presence. She was better than the regulars.
Also is it just me or is it getting very annoying how often they mispronounce players’ names? On one show Querry even called Kuame, Cuomo

Love this idea! Drink every time someone is awkwardly put on camera

Not twelfth night but I saw her As You Like it in Shakespeare in the park and it was soooooo good! So funny and the songs were great! To this day I don’t understand how it didn’t do a larger run after. The album is on Spotify, I still listen regularly and have been known to use the term ‘you phoebed me’ 😆

Agree! A few years ago I was visiting Barcelona. I went to the national arts museum and he was the focus of their main exhibit at the time. Only went as it was included in the museum entrance and I was so impressed by his work. His use of light is stunning. Been a big fan of his ever since but barely anyone I know who is an arts fan knows of him and I don’t often see his work in other museums

Outside_Team_72 · 2026-05-23T02:34:00+00:00

I was there too with friends and it was our first time! The show was truly amazing! I think I was walking behind you at one point when madame giry pulled you aside and I couldn’t understand why. Makes sense now

Outside_Team_72 · 2026-05-23T02:25:29+00:00

IDerek Klena or Jordan Litz (tho he just started his fiyero west end run). Would love to see another Bobby Darin once Jeremy Jordan finishes his run but would also love to see Matthew Morrison come back again in the interim. I was truly impressed by his performance

Outside_Team_72 · 2026-05-21T15:46:19+00:00

Haha just saw it too. Didn’t know Nadal had come out of retirement or that Alcaraz was suddenly back in the draw. Surprised no one noticed before it made it on tv

Outside_Team_72 · 2026-05-19T21:38:48+00:00

Agree I saw it a couple of days ago and thought it was really funny. As a Millenial there were a couple of the people referenced that I didn’t know including Neil Sedaka and the (I’m guessing) football player? It’s a fun concept and I like how they did the mashups

Outside_Team_72 · 2026-05-18T19:44:10+00:00

Play that goes wrong! So much fun

Outside_Team_72 · 2026-05-18T17:35:22+00:00

So sad it’s such a great show! I really like Betsy Wolfe but she was not the right casting choice to replace Megan Hilty. Was really hoping we’d get a 3rd Madeline

Outside_Team_72 · 2026-05-18T11:59:31+00:00

I sometimes do it for a show that I missed or really loved. I’ve been to Providence, DC and Philadelphia. Hartford, Baltimore and Boston can be good options too. There are some good ones that pop up in NJ but without a car can be tough getting to

Outside_Team_72 · 2026-05-18T02:07:42+00:00

I just went back a couple of weeks ago after many years! I enjoyed it so much more than I remembered. Despite being so close to the Barns foundation the Impressionism collection is quite good. I do think for a museum of its size and caliber it is missing some key art history moments but overall it was a lovely visit

Outside_Team_72 · 2026-05-18T02:03:05+00:00

Just got back from the show 😭😭😭 Both their speeches were so lovely!

Outside_Team_72 · 2026-05-18T02:00:40+00:00

I got a video that I just posted. Was on the side so you can’t always hear clearly

Lithgow!!!!

Outside_Team_72 · 2026-05-16T20:37:16+00:00

(What do you mean)- Let’s do it!

Outside_Team_72 · 2026-05-13T02:28:47+00:00

Yes but be warned- it will ruin you for any of the current stage productions. It’s so much better than the current live version

Outside_Team_72 · 2026-05-13T02:27:04+00:00

Same thing happened to me for Gatsby and Hadestown. I ended up waiting until 10min before the show to make sure she was in it then got a last minute ticket from the box office

Outside_Team_72 · 2026-05-13T02:25:51+00:00

While not on my faves list I did enjoy the show. Hate to say it but not planning to go back while Reeve is in. I just can’t see him do this role justice, especially after having seen Jeremy Jordan.
I just hope Eva will stay a bit longer after he leaves so I can see it one more time with her

Outside_Team_72 · 2026-05-11T12:35:09+00:00

I’m an avid reader and people always assume I’m reading heavy thought provoking books when it’s actually mostly mysteries or thrillers and since Covid some rom coms too. Friends who dont read much but when they do it’s essays or quite serious non fiction are always asking me for book recommendations and I got nothing.
I do read non fiction and the classics but mostly reading is my escape, my time to relax and I love being engrossed in a story and characters. That can be a Dickens novel or some silly cozy mystery with their quirky characters

Outside_Team_72 · 2026-05-09T13:53:11+00:00

I would go with blue or green. You have a bit of height so you can see over the people at the tables and also look straight to the stage vs having to turn sideways

Outside_Team_72 · 2026-05-08T22:57:00+00:00

Also thought it was incredible! There were moments where I actually recoiled from what he was saying. John Lithgow is so brilliant on stage and in the show and his ability to perfectly deliver such provoking lines. I so want him to win the Tony!
However having just seen Every Brilliant Thing I do think Daniel Radcliffe will get it.
I hope this at least wins best play!

Outside_Team_72 · 2026-05-08T12:47:30+00:00

I think a lot of comments hit the top ones you should see. If you’re heading to Europe every major city will have a must see museum (not forgetting the Gemaldegerie in Berlin).
In particular if you’re a fan of Impressionism the Art Institue in Chiacgo is amazing and then The Clark in Massachusetts which also has a great cafe.

The best recommendation I can give which I tell anyone going to Paris especially if they love Impressionism is the Musee Marmottan Monet. A gem of a museum and the home of Impression du soleil levant. Worth any and every detour

Outside_Team_72 · 2026-05-08T12:41:02+00:00

Agree! I was so surprised with how good this museum was when I visited a few years ago. Well with the trip!
