In 1989, we fell in love with Bill & Ted, and we still love them! Case in point, later this year, they will be sharing the stage in Waiting for Godot on Broadway, and it is the most anticipated show of the Fall.
Well, a lightbulb went off in someone’s head when they realized that the actors are coming to the Great White Way, so they said that we should get Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves to present at this year’s Tony Awards. Therefore,, they put out the offer, and they said, “Excellent,” and did an air guitar strum.
I have a most excellent idea. They should start off the show with them dressed as Bill & Ted. Then we hear someone say that they need to do a paper on Hamilton. So, they run to their phone booth on stage left, go into it, and the lights go dark. Then, when they turn on, we see the cast of Hamilton ready to perform. Since Lin-Manuel Miranda and the OG cast are reuniting to celebrate the musical’s 10th anniversary.
Then, when they are done, the lights go dark. When they come back on, Ted says, “What year is it? 1776? 2016? Or 2025?” And Bill says, “Woah, dude!” Then, they go to commercial.
When I told my friend that idea, he told me his idea. He said that Patti LuPone and Audra McDonald should come out holding hands! Maybe they can do that too for the first award.
Here are the other presenters: Aaron Tveit, Adam Lambert, Allison Janney, Ariana DeBose, Ben Stiller, Bryan Cranston, Carrie Preston, Charli D’Amelio, Danielle Brooks, Jean Smart, Jesse Eisenberg, Katie Holmes, Kelli O’Hara, Kristin Chenoweth, LaTanya Richardson Jackson, Lea Michele, Lea Salonga, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Michelle Williams, Oprah, Rachel Bay Jones, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Samuel L. Jackson, Sara Bareilles and Sarah Paulson.
My only complaint is that they didn’t ask Little Shop of Horrors’ Milo Manheim and Elizabeth Gillies to be part of the show. They are being hailed as the best Seymour and Audrey of this run. So, it would have been nice if they were able to be part of the broadcast. Who is with me?
