With She Loves Me winning Scenic Design, this means Hamilton can only tie for the record with The Producers unless Best Actor or Supporting Actor ties.

I'm loving how short the speeches are. Feels much pacier than the Oliviers.

That was a beautiful speech from Lin, must be said. He came across a lot better this time than when he rapped his speech last time (in my opinion). He really did deserve that award.

Also, Andy Blankenbuehler has won off-air for Hamilton Choreography.
Just please, one surprise tonight. This has been very dull in terms of the awards.

I've missed all the best bits the above and the opening.
Having no luck, the stream2watch, wants me to log in and pay a yearly fee.

It's a very important American story and it wasn't exactly doing that well with an Oscar winner in the cast, was it? I wouldn't be quite so harsh on the 'British public.' Daniel, it may not have been 'officially' West End but it's been staged in Central London recently enough.

But if you click stream 3 (just about the video window bit) and then wait 15 seconds you can close the ad that blocks that stream and it works.

Right, here we go, lets see if they are fair and give Hamilton the same amount of performance time as everyone else. Hopefully they will be fair and will considering they also introduced the show!

I would. Watch the Tonys really has hammered home how the British public don't give new work a chance. Pretty much every musical nominated wouldn't stand a chance over here. Even Hamilton would have flopped if it had opened here first, as the people would prefer to see Mamma Mia again.

You can tell all the people who are only watching for Hamilton. On the stream I am watching, everyone is complaining about them only performing one song. Do they not realise it is an award show?

Even Hamilton would have flopped if it had opened here first, as the people would prefer to see Mamma Mia again. Hamilton's a bad example because it's American history. I do agree that audiences like to see what they are pretty sure they'll like. You can only half 'blame' the audiences for that though; the rest of the 'blame' lies with the producers etc. making mainstream Theatre way too expensive. I remember finding Broadway expensive too. I would say that there are five times as many Americans to attend along with a similar amount of tourists as London. As I said, Hamilton was always going to attract more people in New York than in the UK, because of what it's about. The awards and hype always help over here and so they premiered it 'the right way round.' I don't believe Mamma Mia would've lasted as long as it has without the story it has. If it had been the 'ABBA story' I really don't believe it would've been a success, and may never have reached Broadway. Anyway, these are all hypotheticals and we can disagree 'til the cows come home, but I do think you're being overly harsh on UK audiences.

Yeah, every show got one, and Hamiton kind of got one and a half because they were in the opening number, and they still complained?! Some people man.

Wasn't the advertising heavily Hamilton based? The advertising was almost offensively Hamilton based. The advert for American TV was basically saying "see if Hamilton breaks the record"... "the only chance to see Hamilton this year..." etc. No mention of any other show. It actually makes me more annoyed with the show. I am sure it is amazing and I do enjoy the Cast Recording and everything but all this overhype, its just too much.
Least it is bring more attention to musical theatre I guess.

Cynthia made me cry with her speech, truly worth the wait for her to win alone and hear her speech and see her perform. I hope we see her back again soon, either as Celie or in another role!

Sorry but Hamilton deserves all its hype. They deserved all their awards and the ones it lost to deserved their awards also. Congrats to Cynthia.

I was out most of today (gawking at the Tonys red carpet, actually) and got home just in time to hear another Hamilton-centric commercial as I walked into the room since my roommates were already watching. Kinda grotesque but I guess if you really love the show, then it'll validate your love and make you happy! And I feel like I always need to mention: I enjoyed Hamilton both times I saw it. But I don't need to hear about it all the time. And this isn't even a case of "well, I can avoid it if..." No, not really. I don't even think Waitress was mentioned tonight until right before they were set to perform. And I'm curious to see who takes over for who in Hamilton (I already would like to see Rory O'Malley) but am in no way going to put forth more effort than just entering the lotto.
