Alright, Sweeney Todd! I'm so excited for this show next week.

I didn't read this whole thread, but I'm pretty sure Wicked has never been on Regis and Kelly.

I'm going to the taping on Thrusday, got the tickets awhile ago, and am really excited that it's Broadway Week. I also heard that Meryl Streep will be there.

They just announced that Sweeney Todd will be on Monday. Later in the week will be The Color Purple and Drowsy Chaperone.

How fantastic that they're showcasing a (gasp) play! Go BRIDGE AND TUNNEL!

odd choices, in my opinion;
pretty women instead of something featuring patti too
steam heat? its a good number but lacks any of the nominees
no wedding singer?

Yeah, I thought they were weird choices too. Everything but Wedding Singer? Although, Wedding Singer will be on the Today show, so maybe they didnt want to have too many early morning performances that week? At least we get LaChanze singing "I'm Here" - I cannot wait to hear her.

I'm strongly considering going on Monday and Thursday. I hope hey actually pick a few standby tickets...

Where's Wedding Singer and Jersey Boys? I understand that JB was just on last week, but come on!

Sweeney's doing Pretty Women? Really? Odd.

"Live with Regis and Kelly" will celebrate the leadup to the June 11 Tony Awards with "Broadway Week" as Sweeney Todd, The Color Purple, The Pajama Game, The Drowsy Chaperone and Bridge & Tunnel star Sarah Jones appear on the show, June 5-9.

It is my understanding that Patti has been sick lately, and I have a feeling that the producers are making the wise choice of saving her voice so she can be back to normal health come the actual Tonys. So, with this in mind, Pretty Women is a perfect choice seeing as Patti isn't featured or essential. Though I would have killed to see "A Little Priest" (pun intended), I'll just have to hold out for the Tonys I guess!

I think it's good that they'll be doing numbers that we won't probably see the next Sunday night, allthough I could never get too much of Sutton.
Thanks for the info. I don't normally watch daytime TV, but I'm on vacation next week, with Millie in Newark, and now this, I won't have much time left for all the projects I had planned.

I'm very excited for Tuesday's show!

Gypsy, when I did standby, a lot of people got in...I'm not sure they even turned anyone away.

I'm really looking forward to this.

I love Tony season- my Tivo is constantly recording Broadway-related stuff for a few weeks.

Sort-of related: I just saw that Brian Stokes Mitchell is performing on the Today show on Tuesday.

Reasonably good? Um. How about VERY good.

Wonderful performance! I didn't go unfortunatly but they rocked! It was great to see Dorothy Stanley in her costumes (I had no idea they would put her in a black wig). Awesome.
