So do Billy Elliot and Rock of Ages get two performances? Will Billy perform its regular number in addition to the one with Elton? Ditto Rock of Ages and their number with Poison.
This hardly seems fair to the other nominated shows.
Hopefully Elton John will play the piano while al three boys dance to "Electricity" and then the actual musical number for BILLY ELLIOT will be "Solidarity."
This does seem like a ton of performances for a three-hour broadcast...I guess all the acceptance speeches will be very short...
^ Do you post about ANYTHING other than Rock of Ages?!?!?!?!

Additional performances for the 63rd Annual Tony Awards® Telecast were announced today. Dolly Parton along with the cast of 9 to 5: The Musical; Elton John with the cast of Billy Elliot, The Musical; Liza Minnelli; Stockard Channing; and the band Poison along with the cast of Rock of Ages, will be taking the stage, joining previously announced performances by this year's Tony-nominated Best Musicals and Best Musical Revivals, including: Billy Elliot, The Musical; Guys and Dolls; HAIR; Next to Normal; Pal Joey; Rock of Ages; Shrek the Musical; and West Side Story.
Actually, it does sound as if they will get two performances.

Hopefully this is either part of an opening montage or a section of their actual performances, otherwise giving them an entire second performance simply because they're connected to famous musicians is unfair.
You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl

"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott
Since when is fair part of the Tony Awards? I mean, yes, I wish they could include all the other nominated shows like they did in 2005, but this is a show about money, marketing, and ratings. They do what they need to do and they respond to whoever flashes them the big bucks.

I am SOOOOO THRILLED that Pal Joey is performing. I loved that production so much. I hope Stockard delivers her heartbreaking "Bewitched." That would make me so happy.
