'BILLY', 'SHREK', 'ROCK' and More Set to Perform On Tony Awards Telecast, Full Lineup Announced

So, Pal Joey is performing. I wonder what number they'll do? Probably one of the smaller ones that don't include people who aren't nominated personally.

Well, I'm very happy and very excited about Legally Blonde! Although I am surprised about '9 to 5'... they might not include them because they are doing the montage before the actual ceremony begins... but that's just a guess.

why are they having touring shows perform? that is kind of weird, but oh well..it will be good to see some old stuff on stage I guess. I wonder if it will be the short performances just like The Little Mermaid, A Catered Affair, and Young Frankenstein did last year.

So what is this now, the third or the fourth year that we've had some kind of Jersey Boys performance on the Tony Awards? And Legally Blonde wasn't good enough to perform when it was on Broadway, but now that it's on tour it is? Some random performance choices in there.

I would have liked to see performances from musicals that opened this season rather than performances from touring shows.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Yeah, I imagine they're just trying to appeal to as many people as they can.

Legally Blonde will bring fan girls and possibly a younger audience, Mamma Mia! appeals to the masses, Jersey Boys also.

The people who watch for the new shows will always tune in, they'll just want more viewers.
