some kind of something
16. I’m possibly biased, but my lady is the hottest piece of ass at this party.
15. Walking to the party with two Tonys in my backpack. That’s how I roll.
14. Yeah, so we did okay tonight. Congrats to everyone. Let’s party.
13. Dude from frasier beat Jon Groff. Boo. Best musical coming…
12. The kids just did their thing and it was great, but I have a question for someone in standards and practices: how is it okay to say “bitch” but its not ok to say “breasts”? Weird.
11. This phone might die. Apologies in advance if we get separated.
10. Michael Mayer is best director. And he really is, too. Good speech, too.
God I’m starving and I need a drink. Several.
The SA cast performs a little after 1030. None of you better be watching HBO right now. Tivo, people.
9. I do have me some soft spot for mary poppins. There’s some fucked up shit in that movie. Chim chimminey? Those dudes were smoking the good stuff.
8. Dunc and Steven took best score. Wow. Choreography coming…and bill Jones takes it. Holy shit.
7. STEVEN!!! Best book.
6. Johnny G. took best featured actor. Love that kid.
5. Here we go. You all better be watching. I need a drink already.
4. We won best lighting. Good start.
Also, on the way in Vanessa Redgrave winked at kacie.
3. Duncan just won best orchestrations. We litterally just sat down.
That was amazing.
2. In the car approaching radio city. Kacie is walking in and sitting with duncan but I am of the opinion that her dress is slit WAY too high. No one better look.
1. Ok.I may periodically steal people’s devices to post, but not a lot cus I didn’t find one to use all night.
I will say right off the bat: the portions at Londonbar are ridiculously small. Also Steven Sater is wearing a hedi slimmane tux that I covet.
June 10th, 2007 at 6:35 pm
God, Duncan got one early…. Best Orchestration…Did I spell that right.
Oh, my God…I’m so, so happy…I’m typing up a writing to you now this past hour which I had written earlier today !!!!!
I am so honored and happy for you Duncan. Congratulations from My Overflowing Heart.

Wowie, Congratulations and indeed a good start! And, it looks like everyone is sexxxy for the evening!!!
Small portions at the London Bar…because they want you to stay nice/hottt…or just spend more really, but a good bar wouldn’t you say???
Okay, I have more guests to entertain and I see cocktails being shaken/stirred without me…must dash off… Good luck to all! :-)
Cheers!

Fabulous! How exciting! Glad you got a device, Peter…but the way the evening is starting out, I think it’s going to be hard to be snarky ;)

Just saw them cut to Duncan during the best actor acceptance speech. That’s so great! It’s nice to see Duncan winning an award. Hope they win everything they’re up for.

Go Steven! He looked like he was already crying on the way up.
I’m so freaking out and seeing Duncan on TV…it does not happen enough.
June 10th, 2007 at 7:34 pm
God, This is Heaven !!!!!

Sunday, June the 10th. 2007
A Most Special, Special Day In My Life. Why? Well, because tonight some of My Dearest Closest Friend?s, Artist?s, Musician?s, are going to be REWARDED for all of their hard, hard, Long Efforts of Achievement which are finally about to be recognized in their Fields of Achievement at the 61st. Annual Tony Awards, NY City. It is with this at Heart that these words are being written
Today the weather
Not too hot, nor too cold
Just perfect
A breeze is blowing
Birds are singing
And Love is in the air
My Heart is filled with Joy
Happiness
Contentment
For those who have toiled for so very long.
I have followed your Dreams
Followed your Paths
Have lent Faith and Respect to you
For many, many years.
Today is Your Day
Today, Tonight
You shall ALL SHINE.
Funny the way things work
I do not know for sure
It looks as if Luck shall be in your favor
But today won?t be Luck
Today will be Words of Truth
Lyrics so lovely, one cannot even begin to comprehend
The pen from which one writes
Your Inspiration has come from many places
As mine from you
Not totally of course, but maybe I have played even a small part in yours
I would be thankful for that
The World is a funny place
Where most times true talent goes unrecognized
Tonight, I am hoping ?g The World will prove us wrong
Steven?s Words
Duncan?s Music
Michael?s Direction
And endless Actors shall partake
In being honored for what they do best
And what do they do best?
Aside from their own Artistic, Musical Achievements
These Men have made our World a better place
A place where we can all Hope
Work and hope someone is listening; that our Hard Efforts are not for naught
Tonight shall be Your Night My Friends and I am so happy to share it with you
I wish you the very best for years and years to come and May the Fruits of your Labor
Be ever so, so Sweet.
You Deserve it all.
For years to come, I shall support you and do my small part in encouraging you to be Strong.
Yes, someone is listening
No doubt about that
I thank you from the bottom of my heart
May you all shine for many, many years to come
I know you will
This is only a beginning from which Great Masterpieces shall grow
In my time of solitude I pray for you and for your Health and Happiness
May your Achievements and Accomplishments, only grow as we age and see our lives change
Today is Yours
I love you Guy?s
I cannot ever thank you enough, but I can only try
May the Sun always be shining upon You
And the Winds gentle breeze at your sides
May Life be good to you and fair
Stay True To Your Hearts and to Those who Hold you ever so Dear
May many Petals of Love Fall Upon you Tonight and for the Rest of Your Lives.

We are having a fantastic time watching this and sharing responses over on SheikSpeak! Great results already and probably more to come! Hope you keep finding “devices”. We’re toasting with GENEROUS portions of champagne here in Indianapolis.
June 10th, 2007 at 8:40 pm
As are we toasting you here in PA. This is such a happy day
June 10th, 2007 at 8:57 pm
Musical theater rocks….because of Duncan!
Spring Awakening is KILLING! It is definitely the “star” of the night. By far. The audience is going wild. Everyone looks beautiful. And I loved every single one of their acceptance speeches.
*sigh* Good stuff.
K, commercial’s over. Must watch Spring Awakening win more awards….
Thank you for filling us in Peter. Now go find yourself a drink or two.
June 10th, 2007 at 8:58 pm
Quietly watching from about three miles due south of you. Many many kudos to you fine people.
June 10th, 2007 at 9:21 pm
The “Oh What a Night” dudes were creeping me out! Yes they were.
Spring Awakening performance SOON!
June 10th, 2007 at 9:39 pm
I agree. The last guy on the right (of the TV screen) was making me laugh though.
June 10th, 2007 at 10:04 pm
Congrats to everybody. What a great way to end the night.
Peter, I was also wondering why breasts isn’t OK to say on air. It’s not like the lyric is ‘tits.’
Josh
June 10th, 2007 at 10:06 pm
And you can’t say “apples” either, I guess. Weird.
Congrats on the win! Richly deserved. Go get something to eat. Please. We worry. ;p
June 10th, 2007 at 10:10 pm
Congrats to everyone…what an incredible night! Thanks, Peter, for sharing with us. Give Duncan a hug from the bloggers/Sheikspeakers, and go enjoy the after parties…

June 10th, 2007 at 10:13 pm
The bleeping got a little outta hand if you ask me.
Anyway.
Congratulations to everyone!!!! You guys kicked Broadway butt!
So very much deserved, every single award.
*congratulatory smooch*
June 10th, 2007 at 11:15 pm
Duncan,
We are so proud of you. We are jumping up and down over your Tony awards tonight.
Congratulations!
Matt and John, San Francisco, buddha boys
June 10th, 2007 at 11:57 pm

Congratulations Duncan and to Steven and to the entire Spring Awakening team!
You folks are AWESOME!
HOORAY and CHEERS!!!

Congrats! Duncan!!!!!!!
I am Misato, director from Fuji TV. We did interview with you yesterday, Thanks about that. Because I was too busy for setting up, I could not tell you how I love this musical,.
I wanted to have you in our show because I just got to love SA, Actually I have seen this incredible musical several times already and I am sure I will do again and again. Such a great music there to listen million times.
I am looking forward to your new projects. I will see them with coco definitely.
Our presenter and producer might got in After show party and said hello to you, Sorry if they bothered you.
I will send a copy of our show.
I was so glad to see you on teh Tony’s stage 3 times, and I could not help giving message to you. Congratulations!!

Congrats Duncan, Steven, etc. I bought 2 tickets for the show in Aug knowing that it would win a ton and tix would be hard to get afterwards. I assume Duncan is not at every show but I would love to chat for a sec with him…
Anyone feel like we’ve lost him to the theater where he is more “successful”? Why record albums and tour when he can do this? (I REALLY hope this isn’t the case).
June 11th, 2007 at 8:16 am
On my birthday, I’ll be sitting next to a Tony Award-winning cast (I have stage seats for June 23rd…my 24th birthday). This is super exciting.
June 11th, 2007 at 8:17 am
Oh and Peter…thanks for keeping us posted. You rock so hard bro.
June 11th, 2007 at 8:27 am
Hey, you Guy’s and Gals must still be sleeping or better yet —Just going to Sleep. Anyway the Night was just Totally Smashing and you must know that I only capitalize Words to emphasize points when I write; and as any good Writer should never do is be in a hurry when typing up something. Though I only had less than 1 drink, I just checked and I do believe that I left out 2 sentences above. Sorry about that, so here is where they fit in.
(I wouldn’t want anything to be left out) Don’t tell me I have to read that whole thing over again :) Let me see…
After:
Your Inspiration has come from many places
As mine from you
Yours from me
& Yes, (Because this is Important)
These Men have made our World a better place
A place where we can all dream
A place where we can all hope
……………………………………………
A few simple words to say thank you. The rest shall take it’s natural course and I believe we will all be happy with the results. God how I love your Guy’s. I must say it again. Thanks for what “All of You” have given us!!
Best regards,
BW :)

Congratulations to Duncan for his amazing win and to the whole cast and crew of Spring Awakening! Taking home 8 awards is fabulous! You all deserve it. Now I just need to get my butt to New York so that I can actually see the play. I have the cd and love it =)
June 12th, 2007 at 6:17 pm
Dear Duncan,
I have been listening to White Limo a lot lately. REALLY listening to it. It is quite an amazing piece of work. And I really need that right now. Thanks.

Dear Duncan,
Today is my birthday!
I have had you on for most of the week. I hope you are doing fantastic and I that you come back to us soon!
- Russell
October 8th, 2007 at 7:58 pm
Yay! The blog is back!
Even if it’s still being neglected and is stuck in the “Archive.” I was bummed when it disappeared. I sure hope you pick it back up one day.

Dear Duncan,
I know that you probably don’t read this thing anymore, but I wanted to say how much I truly love your music, on the off chance you still happen to read these comments.
I am very happy for you having experienced such a great success with Spring Awakening, but I also (selfishly) hope it does not mean we miss out on anymore of your music. The beauty of your creations is absolutely astonishing to me and you continue to be one of my greatest musical inspirations. Somehow I got a hold of a track called “Until,” which sounds like it should be on “White Limousine.” Even though I have no clue where it came from (and I am an avid fan of everything you have done), it is absolutely breathtaking.
Thank you for taking the time to talk to me, in a time that feels like so long ago. To you, I was probably just another sputtering fan, but, to me, it was an event I will never forget, especially since you were so down-to-earth and gracious.
I wish you continued success, even if it means you never put out another CD again. You have always stayed true to the type of music you want to make and you deserve more credit than you are often given, especially since you are so talented.
Really, thank you.
Just had to get that out.
- Russell
