Seattle got a shoutout at the Tony Awards last night when Memphis —which played at 5th Avenue Theatre last year before migrating to Broadway—won best new musical, while Levi Kreis took home best featured actor in a musical for his turn as Jerry Lee Lewis in Million Dollar Quartet (a role he originated at Issaquah’s Village Theatre). No love for Roosevelt High grad Chad Kimball (nominated for best lead actor in a musical, Memphis ) or Constanza Romero (best costumes in a play, Fences ), but their productions won their fair share of trophies last night. Find the full list of winners here.

Now that the news is out of the way…

Since when do to the Tonys look like the Oscars? A way more entertaining version of the Oscars? Consider the facts:

Three out of four of the top acting honors went to Hollywood stars: Denzel Washington and Viola Davis for Fences, and Catherine Zeta-Jones for A Little Night Music. Cheers to Zeta-Jones for being halfway to an EGOT (Oscar and Tony, down, Emmy and Grammy to go) and for delivering line of the night during her acceptance speech: “See that man there?” Points to husband Michael Douglas. “He’s a movie star, and I get to sleep with him every night!”

Even Scarlett Johansson won a Tony for her Broadway debut in Arthur Miller’s A View From the Bridge. ScarJo! Who recently wore a leather jumpsuit to do battle in Iron Man 2! I’m hoping we can blame the shock of it all for the reason she referred to husband Ryan Reynolds as “my Canadian, who I live with.” That’s, um, beautiful. Really. I’m going to work that one into my wedding vows.

I know I should be outraged that Broadway is banking on big-name stars to sell seats blah blah blah, but I would have bought tickets to see Alec Baldwin in Equus. A good actor is a good actor. And let it be said that one of the biggest winners of the night, British play Red, is an eccentric story about abstract-expressionist artist Mark Rothko starring actor’s actor Alfred Molina—who, last time I checked, doesn’t respond to AlMo.
