You and all the “broadway gossipers” on twitter — ffs, spill the tea or don’t say anything at all. No one thinks you’re cool for withholding information."

I will confirm Katrina is part of it. As is LuPone. And also other cast members."

Yeah Nikki Renee Daniels posted a picture of them all at rehearsal earlier so...no new information there.

Joaquina is very talented but I'm sending my parents to see Paradise Square and after thinking about it, I decided I couldn't make myself sit through the whole show with them just to see Let It Burn again. Sharon had the opportunity to create a much fuller performance because the role is so much better written.

All I know about the NYCGMC performance is that it will be during the first hour (Paramount+).

Also, Spring Awakening will not be an in-memoriam performance. They are re-creating the original set and doing full staging. Thrilling!"

what's the purpose of doing all this and spending all the money? To push the documentary?

Dear Evan Hansen did perform during the In Memoriam segment in 2018 (although it was just a year after winning Best Musical).

My guess is that Company is doing the opening number but with lots of LuPone close ups. Would've loved for them to do “Not Getting Married” but maybe that would've been too costly since they already had the opening set built and ready to go. 

I do not think the lyrics to Inner White Girl are much of a draw for most of the audience. 

I was hoping a few of Rupauls queens would be lipsynching for their life to Dana H. 

^^ You must be kidding about that song being performed on CBS. That will never, ever, ever happen.

That is the song to get people in the door. Most of the songs are too explicit or sexualized to perform at the Tonys. Inner White Girl or Intermission Song will be featured along with another? Great hook on both.

Yeah, that's always seemed the least likely. Yes, it stops the show, but part of the reason is the staging and the full, very clever use of the set. So, yeah, too costly.

But again, I'll be bummed if they just do the Opening. It's just not very interesting of a song and ain't gonna sell a ticket.

Also, I recall hearing once the choice of number is a collaboration betw the show and Tonys. Often the Tonys make and request of which number. I can't imagine anyone could've watched Company and chosen the Opening...

I’m guessing chorus sing Sunday. Billy Porter sings Not While I’m Around. Bernadette sings. not A Day Goes By. (If not send in the clowns. Which I hope they choose something interesting for her)

If you check Claybourne’s insta story, it looks like the club set behind him. I’m guessing they’re doing the opening number into LWL.
