I'm sure most of you have already seen these, but oh well.

www.broadwaybeat.com/show6.htm - May 31st Episode. Features Tony Awards Nominations Preview. I think the first nomination clip is Wicked, and Stephen Schwartz is interviewed afterwards.

At the very end, during the credits, they show Idina (as Elphaba) singing "Defying Gravity". Because it's just the best.

Times:
Wicked Clip - 1:30 - 2:42
Stephen Schwartz Interview - 2:43 - 4:08
Defying Gravity - 27:00 - 28:08

www.broadwaybeat.com/show5.htm - June 14th Episode. Features Drama League Awards, hosted by Kristin Chenoweth. (YAY!!! ) She does something REALLY cute to introduce each actor/actress honored, but I'll let you guys see for yourselves. I was just like "AW! So cute!" And, it's Wicked-related.

I think Carole Shelley was interviewed in this video, somewhere towards the middle, and there's a clip from the show that I've never seen before (because I haven't even seen Wicked yet. :/) But, it was very exciting for me. And I was like, "*GASP!* That evil little..." But yes. She gave me chills basically.

Kristin finishes her beginning thing at the end of this video. It was cute.

Kristin's Beginning Thing - 1:29 - 3:36
Kristin Interview - 3:37 - 5:02
Carole Shelley Interview - 12:27 - 13:34
Wicked Clip - 13:35 - 14:11
Wicked Wins - 25:45 - 26:09
Kristin's End Thing - 26:10 - 27:58

Kristin does a little intro to the Drama Desk awards by singing "Popular" with varied words. Sooo funny. Maybe someone can watch it and write down the words...

what does she say?

she starts her introduction of every nominee by saying that she wanted to do it in a unique way, and "more importantly, they rhyme."

*To the tune of "Popular":*

whenever i see someone as talented as i,
and let's face it, there's fifty here as talented as i,
my tender ego grows just like a weed.
'cause though there are a ton of them,
i'm standing here as one of them.
i know, i know, just one here will succeed.
and even in this race,
though it's the toughest race i've yet to face,
they asked me to emcee and i agreed,
to do the deed,
so here's my screed:
i'll... read... the...
nominees,
the drama league nominees.
i'll list every guy and gal,
straight and musical.
they're the cream best of the bunch.
they've all done a lot of plays,
so let's give them praise,
and then we'll have a little lunch
for these nominees.
there sure are a lot of these.
when you've got the right cohorts,
well, like, stephen schwartz,
you might get one, too, ya know.
so let's start, cause we've got an awfully long way to go!

then they show the video and ish.

then at the end, they show her finishing the song.

*I have no idea what this tune is, but its quick and catchy, and she's snapping, and it's cool. lol.*

la la la la la la, la la la la la la...
this is getting long now,
it's time to end the song now.
richard thomas is devine.
did i mention kevin kline?
if there is a scene to steal,
jump on simon russell beale!
brian's murray and al byrne.
joanna gleason's grand return.
billy warlock makes me teary!
michael shannon's bug is cheery!
keating's judy gets a chill.
jane higgins is big bill!
jennifer's a marchy rox!
richard dreyfuss? one sly fox!
john lithgow and sarah jones,
they've got genius in their bones!
and my favorite, have ya seen-a?!
give it up now for idina!!!
now we're almost at the quota:
raaaaaay liiiiooooottaaaaa!

*Popular tune:*

they're the very best,
so that we attest,
and gather festively.
thanks for your indulgence
while i listed every nominee!
la la, la la,
for the drama league.
but wait, there's one more left.
that's me!


it was just too cool. i loved the idina part, haha. she was all into it, too. like her voice was like, low... i dunno. and yeah, i know i probably screwed up some of the words in the parts where names are, lol. "jane higgins is big bill!" yeah. exactly. lol. i dunno, i did it by just listening and typing as it went, though. so there you have it.
