I did not watch the 1998 Tony's and never watched what Lion King / Ragtime / Sideshow performed. DOes anyone remember?

And also does anyone have video of the performances? Thanks a lot =) I love Sideshow and Ragtime and Lion King...I am glad Lion King is still around and am sad at Ragtime and Sideshows departure :/

I really wish they had more Videos on the web...Would love to see the vids from a lot of performances. Dieing to see "Too Darn Hot" from Kiss Me Kate (2000 Revival)

The cast of RAGTIME did a shortened version of the opening number.

LION KING did their opening "Circle of Life" with the animals parading down the aisles of Radio City Music Hall.

From SIDE SHOW (which had long since closed) the leading ladies performed "I Will never Leave You."


Also on the 1998 broadcast were "Willkommen" from the revival of CABARET, "Sit Down John" from the revival of 1776, and a medley from the revival of SOUND OF MUSIC.

I wish TonyAwards.org would offer DVD's of past brodcasts. I have been taping them every year since i first got a VCR (1979) and really enjoy going back and watching the numbers.

I have a tape I haven't watched in years. IIRC, didn't Emily Skinner flub the opening dialogue to I Will Never Leave You?
