Why on earth wasn't this number on the Christmas Story cast album?!
(Which, incidentally, was my favorite present this past Christmas. Wonderful score! I kind of wish they'd featured "Somewhere Hovering Over Indiana" since that's my favorite song on the CD.)

Posted: 6/9/13 at 9:49pmChristmas Story looks so dumb. Great Energy but mediocre song. I wouldn't pay 2 dollars to see it.

"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Posted: 6/9/13 at 9:51pmI assume they want to throw out a "big award" earlier to keep people watching.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 9:52pmA Christmas story was just perfection! Dare I say it was the most impressively performed number of the evening so far.

Finebydesign, you need to Google or spell check before you post, sweetheart.

The fact they present Best Play so early in the eve shows how low broadway has sunk and how it's all about crap musicals.
Yes. The true indicator of the quality of material on Broadway is Tony broadcast award placement.

Christmas Story showed the high quality of the show. Cell phone bit was hilarious and even funnier if you saw Vanya.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 9:56pmWait, that's not the broadway Simba, and that's also not the Simba who stood next to Mufasa earlier. The one from earlier is the Broadway Simba.
