Posted: 5/15/11 at 7:07pmSince they have been doing the "Title" number on the talk shows, anyone think it is going to be "Blow Gabriel Blow"?

Posted: 5/15/11 at 7:28pmI hope to God they do something other than the title number. If I have to see that one more time...

Posted: 5/15/11 at 7:31pmI was just thinking this. The title song has been done to death. Let's see something else. "Blow, Gabriel, Blow" would be a great choice.

Posted: 5/15/11 at 7:40pmWhile "Blow Gabriel Blow" would be a great choice, I'd like for them to do "Friendship" or "You're the Top."

Posted: 5/15/11 at 8:06pmI haven't seen this production yet. Do they actually sing any other songs in the show that Anything Goes? It seems to be the only one the cast knows.
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

Posted: 5/15/11 at 8:33pmThing is, 80% of the viewers watching the Tony's probably haven't seen the number yet. So yeah, if it's the best number the show has, they will do it.

Posted: 5/15/11 at 8:51pmEither you'll want to see it or you won't. It's not their job to keep showing us more. You want to see more, buy a ticket.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Posted: 5/16/11 at 2:17amThey would be silly not to do the title number on the Tonys. It's the best thing they've got. If anything, they should've been doing other numbers on the morning shows.

Posted: 5/16/11 at 3:38amIt's one of those few great opportunities to repeat the name of a Broadway show, over and over again to a non-New York audience.

Posted: 5/16/11 at 6:45amI spoke to a sprinkling of cast members at the stage door yesterday- most seemed to believe that they were indeed doing the title number (and they're all very excited)!
