Next to Nerdy: My Tony Awards Twitter Feed

The Tony Awards are my Superbowl. On that magical Sunday in June, I park my butt on the couch and stay there for three hours, only breaking to yell at the screen, dance, throw things, or dance while yelling at the screen and throwing things. This year, my Super Sunday coincided with my discovery of the 140-characterplay that is Twitter. Hence, my Tony Awards Twitter Feed.



Note: this is not a typical blog post, just a fun one. Get ready to have your mind blown with just how geeky I can be.



Have already cried twice at the Tonys. West Side Story was breathtakingly beautiful. I want to marry Cody Green and make dancing babies. from web

Um, Tony people? Cutting off Jerry freaking Herman? NOT. OKAY.9:34 PM Jun 7th from web

Why do I get the feeling Hair is going to take Best Revival? Still hate when performers go in audience. Poor Anne Hathaway.9:36 PM Jun 7th from web
