The Right Way To Watch The Tony's

So, I've always been a Tony's fan. But this year it was far more enjoyable a show to watch as I watched it through the eyes of one of the performers.

I interviewed Lee Siegel months ago, as Jesus Christ Superstar was opening on Broadway. He plays Simon Zealotes. He is still one of the most positive people I've met and has a truly amazing personality.

Since JCS was up for a best musical revival Tony, they got to perform. So instead of just watching the show, I was also watching his facebook page... Here are few of the updates...

8:14 PM - Ok friends. It's overly thrilling to be backstage... Sitting beside Matthew Broderick!!!

8:18 PM - See that stage?! Gonna be on it!!!!! Seize the day Friends!!!!!

When they show went to commercial break with some of the music from JCS, this popped up -

8:25 PM - Loud cheers to hear our theme song backstage!!

8:30 PM - Alright it's time to get ready friends. Loads of love from all here behind the scenes!! Enjoy the show. Xoxoxoxoxoxx. So freakin excited!!

8:40 PM - Just met Matthew Morrison!! ;) and we're on the stage ready to perform! ;).

And then I watched the performance. When the whole cast is on stage he is right between Jesus and Mary.

And I got to follow him after he got off stage.

8:59 PM - What a Freaaakin rush!!!!!!'. And we literally just exited the theater and onto a bus. Now back to our theater to prep for a party!! ----- Freakin rush!!!!!! We're so proud. No matter what happens for the rest of the night.... Our rush was insane!!!!! :))

There were plenty more updates, but you get the idea. It was a great way to watch the show, with that extra personal touch. Thanks, Lee, for letting me tag along on your special night!
