but it beats the heck out of "I Saw Your Boobs."

P.S. Did he say "BANGING Diana Ross?"

I thought it was a tad long, too. But, I don't mind, because it was that good. Wish I'd seen the whole show.

Section at 6:05:

"There's a kid in the middle of nowhere
who's sitting there living for Tony performances
Singing and flipping along with the Pippins and Wickets and Kinkies, Matildas and Mormonses,
So we might reassure that kid,
And do something to spur that kid
"Cause I promise all of us up here tonight
We were that kid!"

Songwriters Tom Kitt and Lin-Manuel Miranda deserve huge credit for their words and music ("Bigger&quot , and the host deserves as much credit as he can get for just nailing it. Best opening of any awards show I can remember in years.
