Angry Dance

We are so not happy right now! Anyone who knows us, know that we are huge Broadway fans. We know every lyric, every line, every piece of choreography to almost every musical or play that is or was on Broadway. So once a year we tune in to watch the Tony's and we root for whichever show we've seen earlier in the season or a show we want to see. This season hands down our favorite show was Fela!. It's upbeat, it's funny, the music is fantastic, and the acting is superb. When we saw it in November we knew that it was going to snag all the Tony's it was nominated for, because that's just how awesome it is... it's mind boggling how incredible it is!
Needless to say yesterday night at 8pm Joy and I were glued to the television screen anticipating the best award show on earth. Sean Hayes was hosting and he was hilarious, but then why wouldn't he be?! Kristin Chenoweth one our favorite actresses of all time made appearances because she's in Promises, Promises(by the way we want to see that also)and the performances by the different company's were great as always but whenever a category Fela! was nominated for was being announced it seemed that no matter how hard we crossed our fingers they lost time after time after time...until Bill T. Jones won for best choreography. Our spirits were lifted but not enough. When the winner of the best musical was anounced and it wasn't Fela! why it got crazy in our home. We stomped and yelled and fussed, we just couldn't believe it!
Long story short, Fela! lost to Memphis. I know the cast of Memphis worked hard and the show is probably a good show but we don't think it should have won for best musical. Claps to the cast and crew of Memphis anyway.
