“Drag” Author Frank DeCaro on the Tony Awards – “I Cried When Bob Mackie Won…”

By Trey Speegle on June 10, 2019 10:38 am

Some thoughts on the Tony Awards from Wowlebrity & author, Frank Decaro:

• The opening number was goosebump-inducing. So now I have to like James Corden.
• I cried when Bob Mackie won because he’s a fashion icon and I adore him.
• I cheered when Elaine May won because she’s a comedy icon and I revere her.
• I like when old people win things.
• If there isn’t a drag queen named Lilly Diabetes, there should be.
• Giving a standing ovation, no matter how well deserved, to a woman in a wheelchair just seems rude.
• I haven’t seen Hadestown, but The Prom is the best new musical I’ve seen in years…and not just because it’s gay, although partly.
• Catherine O’Hara should introduce everything everywhere.
• Boys in the Band won the Best Revival Tony. Happy Pride and, um, holy shit.
• Taylor Mac is “Your Drag Moment of the Day” every day.
• Billy Porter has become Elton John.
• Too Darn Hot is even hotter in person.
• The Cher Show is even showier in person.
• Gayest. TV commercials. Ever.
• I love that King Kong puppet more than I can express. 
• Why bother showing Rosemary Harris and Terrence McNally accept their awards? They’re merely legends.
• “The media is not the enemy of the people. Demagoguery is the enemy of the people” – Bryan Cranston
• Cynthia Erivo does for me what her Color Purple costar does for everyone else.
• I’ve been saying that Santino Fontana is a supremely talented actor for about a decade…and I’m glad everyone finally agrees.
• Stephanie J. Block’s acceptance speech thanking God and the goddess Cher was everything.
• M&M’s have embraced cannibalism and it scares me.
