Having seen the Tony Awards, i know what musical I will NOT be seeing . . .

. . . and that is "End of the Rainbow." The performance on the Tony Awards was one of the most embarrassingly bad, over-the-top caricatures of Judy Garland I have ever seen. Frankly, I've seen drag impersonators who did Ms. Garland greater justice. Simply appalling!

Stoked! It was an awesome movie, and so far has taken a bunch of the Tonies...the cast should be pretty amped next weekend!

Oh, and I also agree, "End of the Rainbow" looks horrible.

"Once" got Best Musical, Best Actor, Best Director and a ton of others. I bought the tickets a couple of months ago, before it even got nominated. My timing usually sucks for this sort of thing!

....either one of them sing. In fact, I used to make fun of Judy myself singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbox" exaggeratedly!! Embarrassed the heck out of my children!!!!
