'A Christmas Story' and 'Bring it On' aren't playing right now yet they will be performing. It stinks that 'Drood' won't be performing. In 2009, Stockard Channing did a brief performance of 'Pal Joey' and in 2010 Christiane Noll did a short performance of 'Ragtime'. I wish 'Drood' could've done something like that.

In addition to the four new musical nominees, plus Motown & the three revivals(Pippin, Annie & Cinderella). The following shows will be performing on Tony night: Chicago; Jersey Boys; Newsies; Once; Mamma Mia!; Rock of Ages; Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark; The Lion King; and The Phantom of the Opera.

I have to wonder if these shows will only be in the opening number(I hope so).


Casts of Christmas Story, Annie, Bring It On, Cinderella, Matilda, Motown, Kinky Boots, Pippin and More Will Perform on Tonys

Judging by the pictures and captions posted on The Tony Awards' Instagram page, Patina looks like she's prepping to perform "Magic To Do."

It's all but confirmed for "Magic To Do." In the following video she won't say what the song is but she mentions that the song is very inviting and that the fourth wall will be broken.

In that video, you can see parts of the montage for DROOD! Makes me so sad. Debatably my fav show of the season wont be performing

Looks like ANNIE is at least doing part of "Hard Knock Life."

I know nothing about Pippin, was the original not circus themed? If so how was it "done"?

[jacobsnchz14]

Posted: 6/6/13 at 5:55pm

It was more like a Greek commedia dell'arte troupe, so I've read.

[HeyMrMusic]

Posted: 6/6/13 at 5:57pm

It was done pretty similarly with the circus elements in this production substituting the original's use of magic, commedia, and overall Fosse-ness.

There were a traveling troupe of itinerant players in the original, much like the troupes moving through medieval villages performing passion plays and moving on to the next village.

anyone think that after Kinky Boots performing Sex is in the heel on the view they will do that one on the Tony's as well? or do Everybody say yeah?

KINKY BOOTS is performing "Everybody Say Yeah."

To (somewhat) answer ucjrdude902's question, here's the original cast of Pippin on the 1973 Tony Awards, also perfoming "Magic To Do":

Cinderella is (at least) doing "Impossible"

Judging by their other pictures, it looks like CINDERELLA is doing "Impossible" into either "Ten Minutes Ago" and/or The Waltz.

The TONYS seem to be bringing their A game with this years telecast.

Looks like MATILDA may be performing "Revolting Children"...I see desks in this photo: http://instagram.com/p/aRI2ykKoKS/

Is it me or does Matilda perform "RC" anytime anywhere they are on tv or promotions?

[ucjrdude902]

Posted: 6/7/13 at 2:43pm

Cute talented kids sell.

[WiCkEDrOcKS]

Posted: 6/7/13 at 2:46pm

Well, it's certainly the most "commercial" and arguably the most entertaining and energetic song in the show. So I'm not surprised.

[Brave Sir Robin2]

Posted: 6/7/13 at 2:55pm

Not like it matters, but why is almost every musical besides Wicked performing?

[JudyDenmark]

Posted: 6/7/13 at 2:58pm

Probably because it costs a ton of money and they didn't feel like they needed the publicity.

[ucjrdude902]

Posted: 6/7/13 at 3:01pm

Ding ding. Wicked doesn't need publicity. They could take down every Billboard in NYC and still run for another 5+ years.

[WiCkEDrOcKS]

Posted: 6/7/13 at 3:01pm

I thought the same thing. WICKED has money coming out of its ears...spending money on a Tony performance is chump change. The other shows performing don't need to spend money on the publicity either. It's not like LION KING, NEWSIES, and JERSEY BOYS need any more exposure.
