Equal Time
Good things about the Tonys:
*Christopher Reeve. "I don't do well with envelopes."
*Jason Robert Brown's reaction shot when the Best Score nominees were announced.
*Frank Langella and Isabelle Stevenson, the hottest couple on the Great White Way.
*Lynn and Vanessa Redgrave, still grieving the loss of their mother not even two weeks ago and still as beautiful and gracious as ever. (Well, in Vanessa's case, a lot more gracious than ever.)
*The acceptance speeches by the four winning actresses--underdog Michele Pawk was a knockout despite clearly having been caught by surprise, Jane Krakowski had a lovely moment with her co-stars as she went to the stage, Marissa Jaret Winokur seemed lit from within, and Redgrave was, again, all class.
*Jackman's singing. The only flaw was that they only let him do snippets of those old chestnuts, taunting us with the music of "I Honestly Love You" but not letting him sing it.
Which brings me back to bad things, but I should stop.

How can you not list Marc and Scott's kiss as one of the good things?
'Coz I had turned away to the computer and didn't see it. I won't list it based only on what I've heard.
Oh c'mon! List the bad things! Bad things! Rowr!
