not much to say about the tony awards this year.  joe and i crammed them in after we got home from watching the sopranos finale at carol's place. 

i guess david hyde pierce's and julie white's wins were nice surprises, but spring awakening's near-sweep was fairly predictable, considering all the hype. 

still, we were slightly taken aback by bill t. jones' win — not that he isn't a great choreographer, but we don't think that's necessarily evident with this show.  during the broadcast's spring awakening performance, we wondered aloud, "really?  this won best choreography???"

ah, well.  i was a little sad that legally blonde wasn't up for and didn't win much.  i'll be seeing laura bell bundy as elle woods in a couple weeks — can't wait!
