Why did LaChanze perform? I thought she left the cast already?

She made a special appearance just for Rosie

I rarely watch The View because I teach when its on, but thanks to you fine people mentioning that there would be Broadway performances on today's show, I was able to record it.
I have to say it was quite enjoyable with great performances all around. I laughed when Charlotte did the extra kick and if you look at her face, she seemed to be cracking up. The Color Purple duet was a real standout for me. I'm not crazy about the soundtrack (haven't seen the show) but seeing the performance live really made What About Love more interesting.
Having said all that, Elisabeth's (Shug) dress was a worry.

Yeah it was totally a hot mess.
But LaChanze never shows any age.

Color Purple was an awesome performance. Does the Chorus Line cast ever really sing when they do TV perfs or is it always lip synched? I rewound the tape 3 times to watch Charlotte do an extra kick at the end of the dance. I could not stop laughing. And then I thought, what better way to draw attention to yourself on national television than to move when everyone else is standing still?

I love that someone in the public eye is so into Broadway, that it was her wish to have Broadway shows perform. It's great publicity!
I may have to make some of those clogs.

Was that Brandi Chavonne Massey sitting next to Vivi and Kelly? I know Rosie is a fan of hers after she performed on the cruise...just something I noticed.

oh yeah she hosted 2 or 3 times. But they have had Hugh the past few years and no one last year. She always did a really good show. The opening number was also really good.
I think she deserves to host it. The only thing Hugh did was be in one Broadway show.

Rosie has hosted the Tonys at least twice, in the late 90's. She also has always supported, and promoted, Broadway. She often had Broadway performances on her talk show and always gave away tickets like The View did today. Not sure why some of you are so surprised! :)

I'm pretty sure it was the chick who plays Val who did the extra kick. I agree that ACL appeared not to be singing live. At most they were singing along with their own recording. Why, the revival cast of A Chorus Line is the Britney Spears of Broadway!
And also, why the hell was Curly Sue cast? What is the point in having somebody in the line who is even shorter than Connie Wong?
Finally, how funny/sad was it when Rosie praised Charlotte for finally "originating" a starring role in a Broadway musical?

I did notice that comment about "originating" a role and I died a little inside, but then I thought maybe I was being too much of a snob for thinking her compliment was a bit... inaccurate.

Did anyone else notice the Les Mis cast was behind the words being sung? Or that may have been just on my tape.

I did not see “The View” last 21st so I was hoping I can catch upload of clip(s) in youtube. Saw Les mis but unfortunately, have been trying to find “The Color Puple” and “A Chorus Line” , can’t find any. I'm sorry, this is an edited message, and I have to remove the link in youtube as per guidelines of this board.
I’m an on and off flyer of this website and just got to read again my comment on LizzieCurry. As per my last, I wrote a remark on her “bitching”. She was not and I would like to apologize to you LC. Keep on writng your comments and views. Got to read some of these and as a matter of fact I enjoyed reading them.
