[78-L] TONY train wreck

[Michael Biel]

We're watching and recording it on both a digital converter box and
Leah's Time-Warner cable on WCBS-TV NYC.  The digital box is giving it
to us in widescreen, but on cable we get it full screen with the sides
cropped like David is getting.  The digital box's sync is OK but the
cable box might be giving us a slight delay.  Sync is usually an
external problem because digital does not exist in any real-time form
due to all sorts of encoding and decodnig, and the audio never has the
same amount of time delay as the picture, and always has to be re-synced
all along the signal path.  

The audio problems are very evident to us viewers, but other than that
noisy wirless mic at the start of "Sit Down You're Rocking the Boat" I
doubt the celebs in the audience noticed.        

And I thoroughly disagree about Neil Patrick Harris.  I think he is
doing a great job, far, far better than schlubs like David Letterman.

An absolute disaster and unintended comedy! How pathetic. Not only are
most shows revivals but the talent on stage hardly does justice to any
of the works. Obviously the director and crew are in snooze mode or so
stunned by what happened in the opening seconds that they have yet to
recover! Imagine what is going through the minds of the legends of stage
in the audience (like Angela Lansbury)!
