2017 TONY Awards Performances — Page 12

CT2NYC said: "I'm glad that BANDSTAND is performing. I really enjoyed the show, and I hope that a great performance on Sunday will generate a fair amount of ticket sales."

I haven't seen Bandstand because the musical style/era doesn't appeal to me, but I have to ask - is there a particular number that Corey Cott does in the wife-beater that he wears in that often-circulated promo photograph?

Don't quote me on it, but I believe he's in the wife-beater during "Donny Novitski," his solo number from the beginning of the show, although he might be in it at other points, as well.

As much as I would love to see Anastasia perform, they don't seem to need the publicity. Plus, they can always send Christy out to the talk shows at a later date to perform, which won't cost as much as the Tonys will.

It's weird that people are saying this will be the most boring, when I believe it will be the most exciting, with so many categories up in the air! I can't wait for Sunday!

Okay, then that's the song they should do.

Cora Hoover Hooper said: "According to Breaking News, Hello, Dolly! is included in the Tony Awards performances. Did they reach a last minute agreement? HOPE SO!"

David Hyde Pierce is performing, not Bette.

I think it'll be very exciting from an awards perspective... a little boring from a performance/host perspective.

Sondheimite said: "The most arguably exciting events to happen on Broadway this year (Midler, Sunday in the Park, Sunset Blvd) won't be on the Tonys. I'm calling it now, this will be the most boring Tony Awards ceremony we've had in recent memory.



"

I think I am going to agree with you on this. Its a shame.

Messytheatregirl said: "DEH just finished their rehearsal...They are doing the full of Anybody Have a Map into a slightly shortened Waving Through a Window."

Oooh, this makes me happy mostly cause I think JLT is amazing in DEH and deserved far more love for it so I'm happy they get a chance to showcase her alongside RBJ (and a new song they've yet to perform live) for a little bit.

Still sad about Hello, Dolly though. I guess it's too late now to hope that by some miracle they'll manage to at the very least perform ANOTHER number? I'll take anything that at least showcases Creel or Baldwin. No offence to David Hyde Pierce, who's great, but no thanks to 'Penny In My Pocket'.

The In Memoriam will apparently be performed by a group made up of David Abeles, Chuck Cooper, Justin Guarini, Kevin Smith Kirkwood, and Okieriete Onaodowan.

I was skimming through this thread to see what's been confirmed. Very little thus far it seems.

Best Musical Nominees
Come From Away
Dear Evan Hansen – Messytheatre girl writes “Does Anybody Have a Map” & “Waving Through a Window”
Groundhog Day The Musical – Instagram says a medley
Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 –

Other New Musicals
Bandstand
War Paint - (I'd rather we get two brassy solos but I fear we'll get one of their somber duets)

Revivals
Falsettos – Andrew Rannells said it will be a group number. Baseball game?
Hello, Dolly! – Scott Rudin says Penny in My Pocket (Trolling at it’s finest)
Miss Saigon

Nothing from

^I agree, but this way almost all of the cast gets showcased in some kind of way.

The tony awards Instagram story shows David Abeles as a performer. With whom is he performing?
