MOT: Some Favorites from the 2023 Tony Awards [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2023-06-28  

The Tony Awards went on this year despite the writers strike because of an agreement between the American Theater Wing and the Broadway League, which together put on the show, and the union: If the show went on unscripted, there would be no picket line.

And so it came to pass.

It worked out well:

Ariana DeBose hosted. What an Opening Number:

Lea Michele and the Company of Funny Girl, “Don’t Rain on My Parade”
