Ariana DeBose takes to the stage with a rap about female nominees. The 32-year-old, who scooped the Best Supporting Actress gong last year, has come under fire for her 'painful' and 'awkward' performance.
Ariana DeBose drew a mixed reaction as she opened the Tony Awards 2024 on Sunday - one year after she was roasted over her BAFTAs 2023 rap.
The actress ended the number by dropping backwards off a platform - and only then delivered her opening monologue. Another penned: 'everything ariana debose says is delivered just like lady gaga giving an impassioned monologue about being yourself.' Another wrote: 'It was a hot mess. It was horrible!! I also think it's way past time we get another host for the Tony's. I'm tired of her already.'She also said: 'The theater is a safe place for us. And in the most trying of times, art is imperative because art reflects society and provides context for the very real situations that we find ourselves in today. The collective experience can cross boundaries and unite people from all walks of life.
The star certainly gave the performance her all as she commanded the stage while belting out her lyrics, before she was lifted up before the star-studded audienceThe actress ended the number by dropping backwards off a platform - and only then delivered her opening monologueHowever the star divided fans with her performance - with some criticizing her 'pitchy' vocals while others lauded her...
Her fun song featured the rap lyrics, 'Angela Bassett did the thing, Viola Davis, my woman king… Jamie Lee, you are all of us!'
