IAN: Great Tony Performances [1]

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

Date: 2024-06-23  

The Tony Awards were last Sunday, so I thought it would be fun to look at some performances from Tonys past.

The Drowsy Chaperone, “Show Off” (2006)

Tony Wins: Best Book of a Musical; Best Costume Design; Best Original Score; Best Featured Actress (Beth Leavel); Best Scenic Design

If you only watch one, make it this one, starring the fabulous Sutton Foster.

Hi! I’m Itzl!

As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!

IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!
