Any idea who is playing which number? Also, is this going to be broadcasted only in New York? I REALLY want to see it on TV...

All I've heard so far is that Avenue Q is doing "The More You Run Someone"

I'm pretty sure it airs nationwide on NBC, but I could be wrong.

i'm guessing we won't be treated to yet another rendition of "i wanna be a producer" since its still hunter and he did it last year, so hopefully they'll do "we can do it". I'm also hoping for wicked to do popular...or hell even have ben vereen do wonderful.

I love BoB. Everyone performs and it's FREE! I hope I don't get tricked again like I was with Brooklyn last year. Looking forward to some good preview performances nonetheless.

I wish ASU would do "Can't Help Falling In Love"

And yes....isn't it always on NBC?

I hope Piazza performs, too.

I really don't think Sara will perform. I don't see Spam having any of the main stars there.

I take that back. What do I know?

[NYC_or_Bust]

Posted: 8/18/05 at 6:04pm

So it DOES air on national TV? and when is it?

[Jilani]

Posted: 8/18/05 at 6:38pm

The website seems to indicate it's only broadcast on the local New York City NBC affiliate, at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 21.

Chitty should do the title song.

*coughleadingmancough*

I agree with ALMOST everything Yankeefan07 predicted. I don't think Lennon will do "Give Peace a Chance." I think they will do "Imagine," and Chitty will probably do the title song.

Do you think Christina Applegate will really sing?
I'm thinking she may do what she did at Stars in the Alley and just intro a number. I could also see her co-hosting or hosting.

Avenue Q should do "Internet's for porn" lol

[GirlforTartaglia]

Posted: 8/18/05 at 7:13pm

Emcee I agree with you :)

Or they should just make it the Raul Show :)...that would be nice!! He is so underexposed! I LOVE his voice.

When is it? You think they would air in Mass. (Boston area) or just the tri state area NJ/NY/CT?

[ljay889]

Posted: 8/18/05 at 9:18pm

Wow. I can't wait for this. Brooke & Christina woo!

And I would think Christina will perform her number. I can't see her going "Hello, here is my understudy from SWEET CHARITY performing my number."

[musicalsFan]

Posted: 8/18/05 at 9:24pm

not her understudy, but may Denis O'Hare to sing a song or Janine LaManna and Kyra Da Costa

I'm hoping she'll sing, but I won't be greatly surprised if she doesn't.

[ljay889]

Posted: 8/18/05 at 9:31pm

But it says the song will be IF MY FRIENDS COULD SEE ME NOW.

That is performed by and only by Charity.

If she did big time TV performances - I know she can do this.

[Yankeefan007]

Posted: 8/18/05 at 9:33pm

those are just my predictions.

[ljay889]

Posted: 8/18/05 at 9:34pm

^ Oh jesus.

I thought those were real, and I got so excited.

Okay, so I guess Brooke and Christina aren't definite!

[Yankeefan007]

Posted: 8/18/05 at 9:36pm

they might be....i predicted all the big tonys, save for bill irwin...and im usually good with teh World Series.

[WiCkEDrOcKS]

Posted: 8/18/05 at 9:41pm

A few simple requests:

Wicked: WHAT IS THIS FEELING?

...Bee: PANDEMONIUM

Chicago: ROXY (w/ Brooke)

Mamma Mia!: THE FINALE

Sweet Charity: I'M A BRASS BAND or I'M THE BRAVEST INDIVIDUAL

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels: DIRTY ROTTEN NUMBER

Hairspray: WELCOME TO THE SIXTIES

Rent: LA VIE BOHEME (somehow cutting it or whatever so it skips to the 2nd LA VIE BOHEME at the end, making it one big song...)

The Producers: WE CAN DO IT
