This Show Couldn't Be Any Gayer If Liza Was Voted Mayor

I forgot how much I love the Tonys.  I had a great time watching the awards last night and seeing the performances.  I hardly ever get to go to the theatre anymore, let alone even remotely professional shows.  I miss it a lot and I wish that I could go to Manhattan more often and get my fill of these shows.  I was also highly embarrassed, because I knew next to nothing about most of the shows.  I was amazed by Next to Normal (which won for best score, and deserved it) and by Billy Elliott.  These 3 boys, who play Billy on alternating nights, won the Tony for Best Actor in a Musical.

That's right, boys.  You should have seen what they had to do every night.  Incredible.  Some other highlights:

Best Actress in a Play: Angela Lansbury

Best Revival of a Musical: Hair (which I wouldn't have picked based on the contenders, but then again, I didn't see any of them)

Best Play: God of Carnage

Best Musical: Billy Elliott

I have been inspired to go out and re-acquaint myself with the world of Broadway.  I miss it.  I think I'll start with Next to Normal because the music was incredible, and then move on to Billy Elliott.  Who knows where I'll go from there?  Thank you Brent for reminding me that they were on last night!
