SarahB (8:38:23 AM): I have NY1 on. Roma is blabbing.
Noah (8:38:09 AM): yeah shut up
SarahB (8:38:33 AM): They just shot to Sondra.
Noah (8:38:15 AM): i have it on audio stream
Noah (8:38:22 AM): she is talkinhg about actor in a play
SarahB (8:38:42 AM): cool!

SarahB (8:39:04 AM): And 5th musical
Noah (8:38:46 AM): debra monk? lea michele? laura bell? ashley brown? stephanie block?

Love the IM rundown - brilliant!

As much as I liked Spring Awakening -- and I think it will likely win Best Musical, I loved Grey Gardens and certainly would be voting for it if I were a Tony voter.

I just can't get the image of Christine Ebersole or Mary Louise Wilson singing their gorgeous, haunting score out of my mind - they really had captivating performances in a superb show.

I believe that if Tony voters only voted their hearts, it would win.
