Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I don't remember his name, but he plays the son in Next to Normal.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I hadn't noticed the first time I watched, but I just read that Bret Michaels was hit on the head by a set piece during the opening number, and I just rewatched and you can see it in the second before the camera cuts over to Stockard Channing.

Bret Michaels? Rock of Love Bret Michaels? That's fantastic! (Not getting hit on the head, just being there.) What's he doing there?

The downfall of Broadway, aka "Rock of Ages," a new musical based around eighties metal songs, was nominated, and for the montage of nominated shows at the beginning, they had Poison do "Nothing But A Good Time."

Here's video of Bret Michaels hitting his head. You can barely see it on the tiny YouTube screen, though. [link]

Well, who wouldn't? Though now I find myself wishing that they'd chosen "Unskinny Bop".

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Huh. I know nothing about Next to Normal.

Am I bad for laughing at the Rock of Ages number?

Most of what I know about Next to Normal is that, based on the number they performed tonight, it is way too intense for me to ever see.

I was disappointed that they picked Mambo rather than America for the song to perform from West Side Story. I was really interested to hear how that one sounded in Spanish.

Yes, this. I wanted more than that teaser from "Tonight" in the opening number.

My big surprise from watching the Tonys was seeing Jessica Hynes nominated for The Norman Conquests. Daisy! On Broadway!! (/Spaced geekout) Also, it was nice seeing Janet McTeer again.

WHAT. Please, please tell me you are joking, and that such a show doesn't really exist. Please.

Signed, I'm just waiting to eventually see the Addams Family Musical.

Sorry. Can't. I saw the commercials when I was visiting my parents, since they get the NYC TV stations. Songs from Journey, Poison, Kansas, and a bunch of others, all put together into something with some semblence of a plot. It's horrifying.
