It's incredible to me that Chris Colfer who plays Kurt was an unknown before the show. Every episode that features him, especially in scenes with his dad, I just weep. His eyes are so expressive and really, his version of Burt Bacharach's "A House is Not A Home" was sung so well. Not sure he out did his version of "Defying Gravity," but I loved it.
Then I cried during the Kodak commercial where the dad is talking to the baby and e-mailing pictures to "Grammy." I think Kurt left me vulnerable to advertisements. (I tried to find it online...but I haven't yet. I'm always so baffled when that happens.)
As I wrote earlier, I was so glad Kristin Chenoweth returned! But was anyone else disappointed that Lea Michele didn't chime in on "Home"? I love the song - I've got a family connection to the Dorothy role in "The Wiz" - so that was part of it, too. So I cried.
It occurred to me tonight to tally up the awardees on the show :
Tonys: Chenoweth, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff
Drama Desks: Groff, Chenoweth(2),
Emmy: Chenoweth
Nominations: Matthew Morrison (Tonys, Drama Desks), Lea Michele (Drama Desk)
Someone said to me recently that TV and movies has really changed Broadway in stars now transition from one to another to another and back again. I'll be thinking on that.
In other news..."American Idol" is now, in a word, boring.
