Andy Karl is a cutie.

Karl sounded great but that number would not get me to the show.

They just said DHP and Bette Midler coming up in a performance from Hello Dolly...hmmmm

They just announced Bette and the cast of Dolly coming up...

Groundhog didn't help their box office with that...although nothing really wrong with it - but it doesn't in anyway show off the show's essence.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I don't think Kevin Kline is a fan of award shows. I know he hates doing press. (and frankly I thought Present Laughter was god awful.)

Andy Karl is adorable, but this number isn't going to help sell tickets.

That Groundhog song was a non-event. Worst Tony Awards selection since Matilda..

Of course, "Penny in My Pocket" is still to come...

I loved The Groundhog Day number, it was so simply done and Andy broke my heart. 

Namo i love u but we get it already....you don't like Madonna

Maybe Bette is introducing the number?

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.

I think they meant "Bette Midler, (comma) and the cast of Hello, Dolly!." But my heart is still hoping for the best.

I love "Seeing You" but really not a great choice to do for the Tonys. Groundhog Day has been really bad at choosing numbers to do on TV.

Roobbie - pretty sure they meant Bette is presenting and DHP is performing. I'd be surprised (very happily so) if Bette performs, obviously. They have stopped cutting to her (in the audience) even when Kevin made a joke about her so I wonder what's up with that.

That seemed like a poor choice for Groundhog Day. Andy sounded wonderful but I don't think that song would motivate people to buy tickets. 

I like a good rhyme more than a good time

As much as I adore DEH. Orchestrations should've been Comet.

None of the GHD songs by themselves are good for selling the show. Sadly.

Tommy Tune managed me to make me feel like this wouldn't be all that bad.

Too bad it is.
