Unscripted and yet still charming.
The Tony Awards, as you may have heard at least a dozen times tonight from various ad-libbing hosts and presenters, aired scriptlessly owing to the WGA strike. In true the-show-must-go-on fashion, the ceremony managed to make the most of the situation. The producers’ solution, all around, was to lean hard on the Tonys’ innate advantages: the musical numbers, the theater-kid enthusiasm of all involved, and precut clips from the nominated shows — an innovation CBS should really keep around.
Kander, age 96, gave a lovely speech, concluding by thanking music itself, which, he said, “has promised to stick with me to the very end.” Grey, 91, looked sprightly as ever, walking out in tails and launching into a bit of “Wilkommen,” seemingly ready to headline arevival if anyone wants it. “It’s a strange feeling to go from being the eager kid, which I was just yesterday,” Grey said, “to being honored with my great friend and collaborator, John Kander, who is even slightly elder than I am.
DeBose’s way to “do the thing” in the absence of a written script—a fact immediately telegraphed as the camera showed a blank script at the top of the telecast—was a wordless dance number, performed by DeBose and more than a dozen other dancers, full of quotes from Broadway shows, including. It’s a bonkers concept, but DeBose is both our most overcommitting celebrity and an incredible dancer. She threw herself down the stairs of the theater, where someone caught her.
