The joy and humor that came along with flubs and wrong turns, and watching the pros make things up on the fly, was unexpectedly energizing, under the circumstances at the 2023 TonyAwards.
Without the guardrails of text on a teleprompter, presenters had more license to say what they wanted last night. When presenting the award for Excellence in Theatre Education, theactress and Florida native Denée Benton referred to her home state’s autocratic governor, Ron DeSantis, as “the current Grand Wizard” of Florida, which was received with great applause.
After she was ruthlessly mocked for her rap at the BAFTAs in February, one wondered if DeBose’s Tonys hosting gig would be similarly cringe-inducing. In fact, she was totally endearing, even good-humoredly quipping, at one point in the night, “Alex and J. did the thing!”—a reference to a lyric at the BAFTAs which will no doubt follow her for the rest of her life.
