Chutzpah!

Lea Michele of Glee was very good on the Tony's the other night. Her reprise of Don't Rain on My Parade (that she did on Glee early in the season) was full of chutzpah. Lea commits to a performance. She's totally into this song. I appreciate that. She looks like a classic, vibrant vedette during this performance. Lea completely overshadows Matthew Morrison's performance that preceded hers. She has really grown on Glee from just being a stereotype to a more nuanced, faceted actress. The transformation is not fully complete but she's on her way there. In other Tony news, Kristen Chenoweth was completely heavenly and amusing during her presentation bit, Scarlett didn't deserve to win best featured actress for A View from the Bridge, and practically all the acting awards went to LA folk (Denzel, Catherine Zeta, and Scarlett). Liev Schreiber or Christopher Walken should have won instead of Denzel. Congrats to Viola Davis and Eddie Redmayne on their wins though.


Thanks to Perez
