SO - we now know the nominees, which numbers will they perform?

Also - on NY1 they said that THE LION KING would be performing??? As in, their own number? Or in a medley of ALL Broadway shows?

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Well I heard that non-nominated shows like Wicked, Phantom and Jersey Boys would be performing at this years Tonys, so it wouldn't surprise me if it were true.

As far as nominated shows goes I think In the Heights will do 96,000 since both Lin and Robin are nominated. I have a feeling Xanadu will do a Medley.
