Posted: 8/18/05 at 4:26amAny idea who is playing which number? Also, is this going to be broadcasted only in New York? I REALLY want to see it on TV...

All I've heard so far is that Avenue Q is doing "The More You Run Someone"
I'm pretty sure it airs nationwide on NBC, but I could be wrong.

Posted: 8/18/05 at 5:32pmi'm guessing we won't be treated to yet another rendition of "i wanna be a producer" since its still hunter and he did it last year, so hopefully they'll do "we can do it". I'm also hoping for wicked to do popular...or hell even have ben vereen do wonderful.

Posted: 8/18/05 at 5:48pmI love BoB. Everyone performs and it's FREE! I hope I don't get tricked again like I was with Brooklyn last year. Looking forward to some good preview performances nonetheless.

I wish ASU would do "Can't Help Falling In Love"
And yes....isn't it always on NBC?

I hope Piazza performs, too.
I really don't think Sara will perform. I don't see Spam having any of the main stars there.

The website seems to indicate it's only broadcast on the local New York City NBC affiliate, at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 21.

Chitty should do the title song.
*coughleadingmancough*
#13Broadway on Broadway 2005
Posted: 8/18/05 at 6:55pmI agree with ALMOST everything Yankeefan07 predicted. I don't think Lennon will do "Give Peace a Chance." I think they will do "Imagine," and Chitty will probably do the title song.

Do you think Christina Applegate will really sing?
I'm thinking she may do what she did at Stars in the Alley and just intro a number. I could also see her co-hosting or hosting.

Emcee I agree with you :)
Or they should just make it the Raul Show :)...that would be nice!! He is so underexposed! I LOVE his voice.
And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps...
What did she realize, Kitten?
That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs.
What's wrong with that?
Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had...
Where?
On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

Wow. I can't wait for this. Brooke & Christina woo!
And I would think Christina will perform her number. I can't see her going "Hello, here is my understudy from SWEET CHARITY performing my number."

not her understudy, but may Denis O'Hare to sing a song or Janine LaManna and Kyra Da Costa
I'm hoping she'll sing, but I won't be greatly surprised if she doesn't.

But it says the song will be IF MY FRIENDS COULD SEE ME NOW.
That is performed by and only by Charity.
If she did big time TV performances - I know she can do this.

I thought those were real, and I got so excited.
Okay, so I guess Brooke and Christina aren't definite!
