Is the video freezing for anyone else? On my computer it hasn't played for more than 10 seconds at a time.

How'd Elaine Stritch get away with saying "g*ddamn"?

And what did she mutter as she was walking offstage? "They're so bored?"

LOL!!

Nathan's opening was a little odd when you can't really hear the laughter after the jokes.

My mom wanted me to go exercise. Have I missed Brian d'Arcy James and Idina Menzel? They're the reason I want to see this.

Brian was fantastic, and Karen sounds great. I doubt she's going to do the choreography though.

This is more intimate than I thought it would be.

Loved Nathan asking the crowd to work with him.

Wish Audra had chosen something else to sing but she's there and looks fabulous!
