Also re the 7 minute opening, Bryce is doing a take over of The Wing IG account today and teased a secret involvement at the Tony awards where he had a rehearsal today and I saw one ensemble member post a pic on their IG stories outside Radio City today so we may get a tiny bit of Chess."

I love everything about that. I love Bryce and his character in Chess, and I love that they've featured his songs on a few talk shows. Such an excellent performer.

I think what's more important is that the director is up to the task of shooting these production numbers in a way that fully honors and captures the performers onstage while also enhancing the energy and excitement that each show brings."

Amen to that. The filming has gotten increasingly bad at the Tonys. The show had a better look in the 90s that it does today for most production numbers and I blame a lot of that on directing/filming of the awards broadcast.

I would love if we could somehow get Maya Rudolph as Mary Todd Lincoln. I'd even settle for some new footage of her performance as they introduce her.

From the announcement of those appearing today its not just Bryce but also Lea, Nik and Hannah and at least some of the Chess ensemble.   I'm particularly pleased the ensemble get a chance to perform at the Tonys,  in whatever form it takes in the opening as I know these moments are special to them.

They deserve to perform considering the best part of Chess is the score. Thanks for the info!
