Pah... bloody Tony Award voters!

XANADU and SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE were both overlooked at last night's ceremony, losing out in all the categories they were nominated in. Gulp... SUNDAY was up for nine!

The good news is that the three stars of GYPSY, Patti LuPone, Laura Benanti and Boyd Gaines, all won for their performances.

Of the nine British actors nominated in the drama categories it was success for Mark Rylance for his performance in BOEING BOEING - which also won Best Revival - and Jim Norton in THE SEAFARER which had transferred from the National Theatre.

Boo Hiss for Xanadu.

I'm still unsure if I enjoyed Sunday in the Park.
