Broadway is Expensive. Times Square is a pain to walk through. Intermission isn't enough time to scarf down that $12 Watered-Down-Mojito which you can't bring to your seat. And that jerk in front of you is going to give a standing ovation to a reading of the telephone book. Why bother? We give you each of your (not so)
favorite Broadway shows, ten minutes at a time.

Last night...

I hosted the first unofficial Broadway Abridged: Tonys party.

Which means that tomorrow, I'll be putting up an actual abridgment of the 2009 Tony Awards.

Thank goodness for Tivo. Not just because it'll make this easier to do, but because Tivo makes it fun to slow-motion parts of the Tonys. Like whatever Kristen Chenoweth did with her head before announcing "Hair", and the castmember on the right of the screen during Hair's acceptance speech, who was making faces like he was having an orgasm onstage.

Wish I had the video tools to cut, slow-mo, and youtube some of this stuff...
