The shocks were Sergio Trujillo winning Best Choreography over Warren Carlyle and The Boys in The Band winning Best Revival of a play over The Waverley Gallery. Other than that the rest was pretty much expected. Once the technical awards were given out it was easy to see where this night was going.

In the press room the winners generously gave insights to where their performances and hearts lay. As always T2C was there to capture those moments. We apologize for the video’s, but a journalist named Lapacaza Sandoval, who has a lovely full head of hair, bobbed and weaved every time a Tony Winner was speaking. We asked politely if she could restrain her movements to one corner, so we could get a clean video, but she decided that was too much to ask and her movements increased. So we are crediting her hair for being the star of our video’s.

Carnegie Mellon created press boxes to keep the press on our toes and Schmackary treated us to a delicious cookie with sugar to hold us over, until the show was finished and the press room closed down.

Robert Williams was in the photo room and you can see his coverage here. We also posted during the night first here and then here.
