Last night was unbelievable. I actually preferred that they mixed it up and had everyone sing each others' songs as well as the deep cuts. It made it feel special to hear things in a way you couldn't in a production. It was also really sweet to watch the cast watching each other sing. They were all totally engrossed.
This was the full set list:
1. Feeling Electric - Bobby Spencer 2. A Promise - Adam Chanler-Berat 3. Live Every Day - Louis Hobson and Tamika Lawrence 4. I've Been - Tom Kitt and Alice Ripley 5. Didn't I See This Movie? - Jenn Damiano 6. A Light In The Dark - Adam Chanler-Berat and Jenn Damiano 7. You Don't Know/I Am The One - Lawrence Clayton, Amy Spanger, Isaac Powell 8. I Miss The Mountains - Aaron Tveit 9. Perfect For You - Bobby Spencer and Pearl Sun 10. Superboy and the Invisible Girl - Tamika Lawrence and Isaac Powell 11. So Anyway - Pearl Sun 12. Open Your Eyes - Louis Hobson 13. How Could I Ever Forget? - Aaron Tveit and Jenn Damiano 14. I'm Alive - Alice Ripley 15. Light - All
The things wish i were here2 listed were also highlights for me, along with I Miss the Mountains and Superboy and the Invisible Girl. Tamika sounded amazing. It was also great to hear Feeling Electric again. And the fact that they mixed things up all night made it all the more special when they sang their original parts for Light.
All in all, a wonderful experience. I'm very grateful I got to be there.

Preach, I would pay good money to see N2N get the proper 10th Anniversary concert. The fact that [Title of Show] rented out the Broadhurst for a 10th Anniversary concert benefiting the Actors Fund, I still don't know why Second Stage doesn't do similar for themselves. Its the show that put 2nd Stage on the map as a home for new and innovative musicals, allowing it rival the Public.

[Title of Show] did not rent out the Broadhurst. This was an Actors Fund sponsored event.
Did they mention/honor Marin Mazzie in any way? I know she was just a replacement, but she was the final Broadway Diana and left a good mark upon the show.

I too hope for a proper anniversary concert sooner than later, but until then, this was magical night and reminded me how amazing the show is/was. :)

No, they did not. There wasn't a lot of speaking, but I did expect a kind of retrospective from more of the actors. Most of them just got up there and sang. Which, I mean, was amazing. But still, I really wanted more substance instead of just 60 minutes. They promised us 90 minutes, and we got a pared-down version. I loved what we heard, but I felt like the show deserved more. I guess we'll always want more of this show, though!
