Is there any way of watching the show in the UK? I can only find clips on YouTube.

Also, for anyone who wanted to see the ACTUAL opening of the show, it was a small tribute from James regarding the Orlando attacks and all of the silver ribbons that the audience, winners, hosts etc were wearing were also in memory and support of those lost at the weekend due to the attacks.

The Young Vic had a good night with A View from The Bridge winning best revival of a play and best director. The Humans i wouldn't be surprised if it ends up transferring over here either as a commercial production or somewhere like the National.

I'm really hoping The Color Purple transfers here now after its win!

The Colour Purple is extremely unlikely to transfer, in my opinion, as we've already had it here. Plus I imagine Cynthia will want to utilise her Tony win and take on a new role on Broadway. Watched this earlier and loved it. The performances were fabulous. Especially School of Rock, Spring Awakening and She Loves Me, and Hamilton of course was very good too. Some wonderfully touching speeches this year as well. How awkward was it when they showed Christopher Fitzgerald instead of Michael Arden in the Director of a Musical category though! Such a shame that he wasn't shown on TV. This production of Spring Awakening was so ingenious and honestly I believe it deserved more overall, so not showing him in the lineup was particularly terrible. Although obviously mistakes do happen sometimes! This was posted to instagram later... https://www.instagram.com/p/BGmYiUxLHii |

I haven't watched the whole thing, just the opening number.Brilliant!
Well done James Corden.
Seems America has really taken to this talented chubby Brit!

Thanks for the links, that opening number was just what I needed to cheer myself up after a long day at work. Thrilled for Cynthia, she absolutely deserved that win - she gives one of the best performances I've ever had the privilege to watch in a theatre.
I have to admit I still don't entirely get the Hamilton hysteria, but I will reserve judgement until it comes here next October.

I think she's probably lost to Broadway in general really. Didn't she go to the US because she complained of lack of roles for black actors in the UK anyway? The fact that she has won a Tony at the first attempt, the raves she has received in the press and also that all four of the musical acting awards went to non-white actors means that she was justified in that somewhat, so why wouldn't she stay there? I also doubt that now she's done the show here and on Broadway will mean she's probably done with it after her run ends and she'll focus on new things. Still can't get over that God-awful ugly dress though. |

Still can't get over that God-awful ugly dress though. Isn't she engaged to one of the leads in London's Aladdin (sorry the name escapes me)? I don't want to get into her personal life- but that seems like reason enough to not permanantly stay in the US. |

She should continue playing Celie at least until December so I can see her, then she should record a solo album and promote it, for a few months and then open Hamilton in London as Eliza. Done.

Last I heard, she was definitely in a serious relationship with Dean John Wilson (who plays... well, Aladdin). Maybe they've got a game-plan involved where she'll stay on in the US and he'll wangle a transfer to the Broadway production after a while?  |

Been together for quite a while. Is it my ipad or have loads of the Tony clips been removed? Yesterday morning I watched Cynthia's acceptance speech and the opening number with James Cordon. Last night I settled down to watch more of the show only to find that almost everything apart from Opening number, Hamilton/Cordon bit and a couple of behind the scenes interviews had gone. |
