The 'Aquarius' and 'Electricity' parts were the best.
I wish they had showed this on the actual broadcast

Posted: 6/13/09 at 3:08pmThat was one of my favorite things from the commercial breaks. I just wish they had the whole thing on youtube.

Does this include wanting to see the extra minute of the Mamma Mia tour cast repeating the lines "see that girl, watch that scene, diggin the dancing queen" xD

Posted: 6/13/09 at 3:20pmHaha hilarious! Why wasn't this aired instead of the Mamma Mia tour?
#6re: Tony Awards Segment: Shrek Auditions
Posted: 6/13/09 at 4:06pmI loved the little videos during the commercial breaks. I am glad they do something interesting for those who attend.

My favorites are the 3 pigs as the 3 Billys and the wolf singing "I Feel Pretty." Genius!
Does anyone remember what the other characters sang? I know Haven started it off, but I forgot the song. And it showed more of Noah Rivera as the white rabbit singing In the Heights. I forget what else.
#11re: Tony Awards Segment: Shrek Auditions
Posted: 6/13/09 at 5:00pmHaven's "Spoonful of Sugar" and the first shot of the white rabbit doing In the Heights are the only two things missing from the start of that video.

Posted: 6/13/09 at 5:13pmNow THAT is funny. They need to do THIS stuff on the telecast.
"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."

Oh, I thought there was more. Good to know. 
#14re: Tony Awards Segment: Shrek Auditions
Posted: 6/13/09 at 6:12pmI loved it, who is the person in the witch's hat that sang first...On the telecast i noticed some new fairy tale creatures. Like the girl singing legally blonde and the Jack frost character from the telecast. Are they in the show?

Posted: 6/13/09 at 6:26pmI believe that those are swings. If an understudy usually in the chorus goes on, they take their place in the chorus- but everybody in the cast is a unique fairy tale character, even the swings have a unique creature that only they play.

Posted: 6/13/09 at 6:36pmI agree with everyone here! This is what the people who actually watch the Tony Awards want to see. Honestly, CBS!

Posted: 6/13/09 at 7:44pmHopefully it will be on the Shrek website or on their YouTube account.

Posted: 6/13/09 at 8:19pmThey might have trouble getting permission to post the video with all of those songs being used if it wasn't a part of the initial contracts.

Posted: 6/13/09 at 10:34pmThat "Peter Pan, dwarf, plant girl thing" is Jen Cody, one of the FUNNIEST performers EVER to hit Broadway.

Posted: 6/14/09 at 12:24amThese are hilarious! I wish Haven's "Spoonful of Sugar" was up somewhere. Her Sugarplum Fairy is hysterical.
