Sorry if this should be common knowledge, but do all of the nominated shows perform at the Drama Desk Awards? I've never watched them before, but I'm planning to watch online tonight, and I was just curious.

I don't think they all perform.

For sure, I know the following will be performing tonight:

COMPANY - "Marry Me a Little"
SPRING AWAKENING - "Mama Who Bore Me"
BE - ??

The first MWBM or the reprise? Because the first one is longer, but that's only Lea.

maybe both Lea's and the reprise?

I have no idea. I would assume the reprise, or a combination of the two.

Did Spring cancel tonight's show?

I've never seen them before either. I'll be watching the DDA on the net and Desperate Housewives on TV. Busy night. LOL.

I could be wrong, but I don't think all the nominated shows performed last year. The only ones I remember performing were The Drowsy Chaperone, Jersey Boys and Sweeney Todd. I'm sure more performed, but I'm positive not all, so I don't think all of them will perform this year.

EDIT: Totally forgot Christine performing "Revolutionary Costume" last year! Grey Gardens also performed.

From what I recall, they don't have all the nominated shows perform, but they DO try to represent both Broadway and off-Broadway. So I'm guessing they'll have a number from In the Heights, at least.

LuPoniac...

I feel stupid for asking, but where can you watch online? I've never really had an interest in Drama Desk before (I didn't even know they were today), but if you can watch them... Can you possibly send me a link?

Thanks!!!!

I'm sure they'll put the Spring Awakening cast on towards the end of the show so that they can finish their performance and head over to the theater. The show should be over already and the Drama Desks basically just started.
