Posted: 3/23/15 at 12:51pmI was at this concert last night and there were plenty of press filming and photographing the event. I'm sure things will begin popping up soon enough.

The entire event was pretty amazing and well worth the hour that I stood outside waiting to get in.
The use of circus performers was unusual but they were amazingly talented and their costumes were beautiful.
Chip Zien was great. Being able to see the original Baker perform (with himself as a duet) was quite spectacular.
Rufus Wainwright and Lance Horne.
Michael McElroy and Broadway's Inspirational Voices closing the show with 'Sunday'. I was tearing up.
And although I agree with Kyle4 that it was odd to have Billy Magnussen there but not sing I have to mention that I was there as SRO and Billy was seated at a table (with his band Reserved for Rondee and Mackenzie Mauzy who also performed) next to where I was and seeing him watch the show was magical. He had a look of pure joy on his face the entire evening and was the first on his feet for a standing ovation at the end.
All in all it was an amazing event and I'm glad I was able to get admission.

My understanding is that Billy Magnussen doesn't consider himself that much of a singer (he plays guitar in Reserved4Rondee), and especially without Chris Pine in attendance it was probably decided that he not perform 'Agony'.
Did Reserved4Rondee perform? I'm sort of curious as to what numbers they did, if they did.
And yeah, if there's anything Billy Magnussen has an abundance of, it's enthusiasm. If you watch him in interviews he seems to be bursting with joy just about every second, and it's pretty infectious. Someone said in an article if they ever did a live-action 'Winnie the Pooh', he'd be a perfect Tigger. I can see that.

Below is a link to a video of some of the performances. Mauzy's voice is quite nice, it's a shame Rapunzel doesn't get a song in the show, really. I hope we get to hear the whole performance by Tituss Burgess (Stay With Me), he's awesome in the clip!
