Posted: 6/12/11 at 9:43pmToo many solo mics for the sound guy who probably only had 1 rehearsal. I do have to say I am very happy with the sound tonight though. Being in the Beacon is the best thing to happen to the Tonys in years!
David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018.

Posted: 6/12/11 at 9:47pmThat song is the musical's downfall to me. You know the nuns will be high calibre performers from the get go.

Posted: 6/12/11 at 9:48pmReally high energy, awesome lighting. There hasn't been a performance I've disliked yet except the Spiderman one because it was too slow.

Posted: 6/12/11 at 9:48pmNo one writes standards anymore-all these songs from new musicals just SUCK! Sorry. After seeing the West Side Story tour yesterday, all of this crappy music makes me sad. Its all bombastic dreck.

Posted: 6/12/11 at 9:49pmI thought I remembered that one year they showed actual 'clips' from performances of the plays -- I didn't imagine that, did I?

Remember most people who post here are very young. To them, these mediocre scores are the best they know.

Posted: 6/12/11 at 9:54pmAnd in order to have "standards" at all, you need to be writing in whatever the pop idiom of the day is, and have a music scene in which songs are not tied to singers, but simply to their genres. The rise of recorded sound gave us great recordings of the standards, but also meant the gradual end of "standards" per se.

Posted: 6/12/11 at 9:55pmWhile it didn't need to be with Memphis, I am glad that the Tonys are showing children who love theatre.
