I had no idea who the Youtube chic was supposed be in the MAMMA MIA number. It didn't help that I was sitting next to some family members of the cast that were laughing themselves to death. I felt like half of the audience had no clue either.
* * * SPOILERS * * *
GUYS & DOLLS did "Fugue For Tinhorns", except changed the lyrics to reflect gay marriage rights, followed by Nick Adams rising out from the stage wearing their Easter bonnet, clad in a dancebelt.
WICKED made fun of the "Octo-Mom" by shooting babies out from underneath Nicole Parker. The last baby that shot out from delivery was green. The ensemble proceeded to jump rope with each baby and their umbilical cord.
WSS did a bit about how Liza stole their Easter bonnet.
CHICAGO did a medley of "Cellblock Tango", but each of the vixens were cast members from one of six shows that closed in January.
PHANTOM OF THE OPERA did a gag entitled [sequel of show]. You all can do the math on that one...
AVENUE Q performed "You're Nothing Without Me" from City of Angels between Howie Michael Smith and another cast member as Rod. Their feud ended when John Tartaglia took the stage to show them both up.
SHREK made fun of WSS and some other shows by inserting fart noises throughout compromising dance moves and choreography in different shows.
LION KING performed "The Circle of Life" with a play on costumes and character changes that would take effect when the show opens in Las Vegas: Tina Turner as Rafiki, Kanye West as Simba, Elvis as Mufasa.
MARY POPPINS performed numbers from different shows and the effects of incorporating tap into each of them. If you looked closely, you could see Scarlett Strallen performing in the back with the ensemble.
