tony

Wala akong date this weekend kasi out of town si bhe. Buti na lang ginising niya ako kaninang 9:00 PM kasi talagang pinlano kong panuorin ang Tony Awards. Wala naman akong gala sa labas. In fact hindi pa nga ako lumalabas ng bahay simula kahapon ng Biyernes na naka-leave ako.
Kakatapos lang ng progrma habang sinusulat ko 'to. Ang haba ah tatlong oras 'ata pero sulit naman kasi kahit na-enjoy ko ang mga performances. Hindi na 'ko nakapanood ng teatro simula nang magdrop-out ako sa college. Earlier at least I was able to catch a glimpse of what Broadway has to offer. Kelan kaya ako makakapunta ng New York?

Bakit nga ba hindi ako nakakapanood ng local theather productions? Ay maharlika ka nga kasi eh.

Anyways here are some of the notable things I have seen in watching the awards.
  • Hugh Jackman hosted, he's great and I love him. If they created Rocky the musical (which is so gay lol), they should come up also with Wolverine the musical. For the win!
  • Si Fran Drescher (The Nanny of course) ay may play. Award. She hasn't age I think and yes she still has that unmistakable one of a kind voice of hers. Co-presentor nya si Ethan Hawk (Dead Poet Society, Reality Bites) na tumanda ng three times! My gosh I used to have a little crush on him. I haven't seen Great Expectations (1998) yet pero dun ko siya bet na bet. Hay kabataan! Lol.
  • Idina Menzel (If/Then) performed and oh my she was on her elements (as if naman napanood ko na siya ng live dava hihi). Tagal ko kasi makaget-over sa Oscar performance nya na sinumpa 'ata ni John Travolta.
  • Kamukha din ni Idina yun kasalukyang Elphaba huh. I was enjoying her duet with Glinda but the signal was gone for about a few minutes. Anong problema nyo Sky Cable. Kaloka. I thought I wouldn't be able to finish the whole award show.
  • Sting performed but I couldn't understand him. Sorry.
  • I enjoyed the snippet of A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder. It won the Best Musical. I would love to see it. Yun ata yun play the may Pinoy producer. Taray. Sigh.
  • Walter White won! I mean Bryan Cranston (All the Way). They have shown few seconds of him playing the part of President Johnson. Parang si Walter lang din naman 'ata with Texan accent lol. Impression ko lang naman yun from those few seconds.
  • There's this musical about Carol King and the lead actress, Jesse Mueller, won. Ganda ng boses nya ah. In fairness nagandahan din ako sa boses  sa nominated na si Sutton Foster (Violet). Kala ko nga si Sutton mananalo. Taena. Kung makapanghula ako eh no kala mo napanood ko yung mga plays. Lol
  • Dr. Doogie Howser won! Of course I mean Neil Patrick Harris for Hedwig and the Angry Inch. I haven't seen much of How I Met Your Mother so he would be always Dr. Doogie for me. Hay ano ba kabataan moment na naman ba lol. His perfomance must be so taxing seeing him perform one of the songs from that musical. Mum was watching with me and I was about to explain to her what musicals and theater is all about (since I had joined the university's repertory-for two weeks only lol) but Neil kissed some random guy from the audience! In the mouth! Mum got bored and went to sleep hahaha.
So there. You know why I love watching awards shows like this? It gives me inspiration. Old and jaded as I am, somehow it gives me a little push- who knows someday I would be getting my dreams as well.


Winners say dreams do come true. I would love to believe it too.
