To quote Sloth: "HEY YOU GUYS!"
The Tonys were tonight. So, The Lion King performed first. I have always loved the Lion King so I was really excited to see their performance. Still completely mind-blowing. Whoopi was an excellent host. I laughed at her little racial jokes, just saying. As a black person, I have to crack up. You laughed too. She was a great host and I'm glad they picked her. Some hosts are... boring and suck. A lot. Not her.
All I was focused on tonight was In the Heights. I screamed when they won the two in the First Awards. And then I screamed some more when Lin won best original score. He deserved it! I was on the verge of tears, especially after he wipped out the Puerto Rican flag. Oh my God. I love him so much. Lol at him believing in Chris Jackson. Oh Chris, the world spins because of you. When Lin didn't win Best Lead Actor, I was miffed, but I understood. I still yelled at the television though. It's my duty.
Then Daniel Radcliffe came on. I screamed because he is a doll. And I like Harry Potter. I hate Richard Griffiths. Especially since he yelled at a fan at stagedoor outside of Equus in London. I was scarred for life. If that happened to me, I'd pee myself. He is quite a large man, is he not?
Rent performed- I had been waiting for that all night. I was so excited when the current cast started La Vie Boheme. And then Anthony walked on and it reminded me of like a ride at Disney World or a documentary lol! And then the original cast came out and started talking about Jonathan Larson and singing Seasons of Love and I started to cry. Rent is a show that has touched me and changed me for the better. I was miffed that they didn't get a Standing O. Except, I'm told that Lin stood up so mad props to him. That's why he's my favorite. Also, did Whoopi say "Antony" instead of Anthony? Maybe that's just me.
So, besides Patti LuPone, (who I'm in a Love/Hate relationship with), In the Heights winning Best Musical was the best thing of the night. I do wish they had a little more time to give a speech and everything, you know? But I almost cried again. Especially when they lifted Lin into the air. God. Everyone I know is just like, "ITH won, ITH won! They WON!" It is a very joyous time. I'm still going to be celebrating tomorrow. I wish I had an ITH shirt so I could show my pride. I'll come up with something.
