Yes, Liza Minnelli won her fourth Tony (as she deserved to). And yes, Billy Elliot: The Musical took a mop and wiped that place clean of statues. And yes, Elton John looked halfway put together performing in a tuxedo. And while all of that is important, what you’ll actually be talking about tomorrow is what happened when Bret Michaels performed with the Rock Of Ages cast and did not manage to get out of the way in time for the set coming down above him. Blink and you’ll miss it.

That was Stockard Channing with a BIG, gorgeous voice after Bret Michael’s mishap… wow, she’s seriously retained her awesome.
TANK
Who watches the tony awards anymore? Hmmmm? I bet someone’s watchin’ it with a big bowl of sad….
Dennis
Just goes to show that straight men have NO PLACE on the Broadway stage. You’re safer back on the “Love Bus”, dude.
BillyBob Thornton
Yea, I caught that, and NPH made a joke about it too.

Neil Patrick Harris sang a very gay closing to the Tonies. Fabulous!
dgz
i hope Brett Michaels is okay. and that whoever picked his ass up was wearing thick gloves and disinfected afterwards.

It totally would’ve sucked if it knocked off his wig.
Prof. O. G. Whataschnozell
Absolutely fabulous. I enjoyed the entire show from beginning to end.
It would have been nice if Angela Landsbury had mentioned Bea Arthur in her acceptance speech.

jealous “straight haters” are the worst!!…..
Bitch, please!
I wonder if he can still yell out “LAWSUIT!” That was bad, and I would sue if that was me.
Frieda Fabulous
@Bitch, please!: He totally missed his mark of where he was supposed to stand. If anything, it was Brett’s fault more than it was the Tonys.

you remind us often that you’re only 27, but you usually come off as bitter old queen (BOQ)..is there anyway to access your bio?
Bitch, please!
@Pilgrim: Like I mentioned elsewhere, that bitch Tank is on the proverbial rag the whole year round. Heck, even women get it for only a few days a month!

“jealous “straight haters” are the worst!!”
Actually, “straight worshipers” are the worst.
scott ny'er
Oh snap. I just read he broke his nose and had to get 3 stitches.
I would say something empathetic but then I wouldn’t be true to myself. So, I’ll just say, darn it, I wish I had seen that in person.
Jhon
There’s some vicious little bitches on this thread. Just terrible.
Clint
@David: Gorgeous voice? Wow. I don’t think singing is her forte but I’ll agree with the awesome part.
TANK
@pilgrim:
I’ve got a stalker.
TANK
And often? Honey, you’re waxing hysterical again. I said it once.
TANK
@Bitch, please!:
No, I just tire of your self loathing commentary like “two men weren’t built to have sex with each other” opinions. You don’t understand…a lot, and that’s par for the course.
