Too 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

Great performance from Sister Act!! Very high energy!!
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. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

That song is the musical's downfall to me. You know the nuns will be high calibre performers from the get go.

Really high energy, awesome lighting. There hasn't been a performance I've disliked yet except the Spiderman one because it was too slow.

No 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.

I thought I remembered that one year they showed actual 'clips' from performances of the plays -- I didn't imagine that, did I?

I love the horse. I wish I could of seen War Horse while I was in NY. Hopefully it will extend again and I'll be able to see it next May.

And 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.

While it didn't need to be with Memphis, I am glad that the Tonys are showing children who love theatre.

Wow, kudos to Memphis for consistency! It's still as crappy as I remember.
