Mandy really just broke my heart. That was beautiful.

I love how we all collectively ignored Randy's By The Sea.

She was April (the flight attendant) in John Doyle's revival of Company.

Elizabeth Stanley was also a fabulous Gussie in Merrily at Encores.

Wow. Maria Friedman was terrific. And yes, Mandy Patinkin was quite touching. Agree on the Elizabeth Stanley praise.

Hate to say negative, especially about Lin, but this is one of my favorite Sondheim songs and this is not good.

Lin probably should have picked an easier song for him to sing.

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Lin sings outside his range way too often, but I thought he acted the song well enough

Homeland series finale literally just finished airing and I immediately hopped back to Sonheim's bday tribute and had to rewind to 5-7 mins ago just to hear Mandy's piece! So beautiful!

Ok I dont mean to be a wet blanket but why has it become a Sondhiem singing mannerism to elongate every vowel so much? 

It's always "Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" and "Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee".

Why did Miranda have to sing it when Ian Armitage was right there. Have to say that apart from Aaron the men are being quite disappointing tonight

I get that New York apartments are cramped but this is just ridiculous
