It looks as if Catch Me If You Can is performing "Live in Living Color" at the Tonys this Sunday...

That's part of it, but the official announcement said Aaron and Norbert, so I'd assume that it's a montage.

Cool! Not surprised. It's the second best song of the show and highlights Tveit, who is probably more marketable than Butz (despite Butz's better performance)

My guess is Live in Living Color leading into Don't Break the Rules at the very least.

This show has been so underrated. I think the staircase and the band onstage look good. Also, the TV story framework works fine. It's well written, flows very well and the music and jazzy band are fun to hear. Nice range of songs. Acting is great, and so many pros in this cast.

The choreography is really good. Norbert's dancing is some of the funniest stuff I've seen in ages. What an excellent dancer to trip along so fast and goofy. I certainly hope his dancing is included at the Tonys and that the show wins some awards and has a good run.

Aaron's singing is remarkable. They're all giving great performances.

^^Totally agree with everything you said.

Another number that I would have LOVED for them to do is "Jet Set" which also has some fun choreography in it.

Catch Me's score, especially, was totally underrated. Aaron deserved a nomination, too, but the score to Catch Me was absolutely brilliant. No idea why Verge got nominated.

Catch Me is doing Live in Living Color, seguing into Don't Break the Rules.

I also agree with nomdeplume .... Saw this twice and love the music. Underrated indeed.

I agree with all of you. I saw it twice and loved it more the second time. It should be a huge hit and isn't. A good family show, why so little buzz on it? I really don't get it?

I agree with the last few posts here. Live in Living Color and Don't Break the Rules are stellar choices. Everybody is so busy praising Mormon, which I think is going to end up suffering the fate of The Producers...a Tony avalanche and then a couple of years later there will be backlash with people saying it wasn't as good as its reputation, and pushing Sister Act, that this equally worthwhile show is getting sidelined. A real shame. And yes, Catch Me If You Can deserved those two Best Actors nods far more than Mormon did.

are any of you saying that the mormon boys didn't deserve the nominations as much as tveit did actually see mormon? if not, you're making yourself sound pretty ignorant

I saw Catch Me and Mormon, and, to me, Tveit was at least as good as Rannells or Gad.

Never a dull moment with director Jack O'Brien at the helm. He can even make Tom Stoppard's plays move along, and that's going some.

I love the gigantic white ostrich feather fans the chorus girls have. Do they appear in Live in Living Color?

I have not seen the show.. and probably will not until a touring company comes to my city.. but I am absolutely in love with "Fly, Fly Away." It is the most beautiful Broadway song I have heard in a very long time. Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman are two of the greatest collaborators in Broadway history, IMO.

@nomdeplume -- No, the white feathered fans used by the girls in the ensemble is for the "Butter Outta Cream" number

And Andrew Rannells deserved a nom for BOM, but I am not the biggest fan of Josh Gad. But I agree, Aaron Tveit definitely deserved a nomination for his role in this. And I certainly hope that Norbert WINS on Sunday!

Oh, yes. That's a really fun song, too.

How I loved those plumes.
