And I'm not sure where. But I did hear about some of the replacements a while ago. I can't believe they were even considering Ricky Martin for a while!

It seems that'd make more sense to find a big name to play Liza Minelli, and cast the lead role properly. It really should be an Australian.

He's now the favourite for the Tony.

I'm just so annoyed with the Australian media though. Another Aussie has been nom'd for a Tony but has gotten absolutely no publicity over here about it.

So on Tony night I hope both Hugh (TBfO) and also Essie Davis wins for Jumpers.

It'd have been the upset of the century if he hadn't won.. Well deserved though... Did you catch his performance? It was hilarious - he got Sarah Jessica Parker up to dance..

But even better news: Avenue Q! (Loved that show to death!)

I like it when the popular show's defeated

No apostrophe in 'Tonys'

It was shown yesterday live, and might be reshown, but I'm not sure. I haven't heard about it.

And I would have given warning for people to set their VCRs, but I didn't even remember that it was The Day until people started talking about it.

Here are a few articles about Hugh's win. The first one's the best. Go him for thanking Todd!

Not in Tassie it wasn't

What channel on the mainland?

I've looked to see if we get a delayed showing later this week but no go!

It was on Fox8 live at 10am yesterday, and repeated at 8.30pm.. (both analogue and digital) and its on digital twice next week (I'd tell you exactly when, but i can't remember off the top of my head and the TV Guide search on the foxtel website isnt working ATM...)

I got it on tape, if anybody wants a copy...
