So I did not get to watch the Tony Awards this year, but I did watch some of the performances on youtube, and I saw the award winners online. I am not sure how I feel about some of the winners this year.
I completely agree with some of the winners, like "Death Of A Salesman" winning best revival of a play, and "Newsies" winning best choreography. There were many actors and wonderful artists that were recognized as they should have been.
However, I must say that Jeremy Jordan did TWO shows this Tony season, and after seeing clips, and listening to songs from both "Bonnie and Clyde" and "Newsies" he totally deserved to win best performance by a leading male in a musical. I have looked at Steve Kazee in "Once", and I am thoroughly unimpressed with his performance, and the show.
Granted! I haven't seen it live, but if the videos I have looked at are any representation, how did it win best new musical?! I just don't get it.
I know I don't live in New York, and I don't really get an accurate representation of the shows nominated, but sometimes I worry about what is happening with this business I love so much. I might just go to New York and start bitch slapping people, until they get their shit together.
