Posted: 4/30/13 at 5:33pmWhat does everything think the cast of SMASH will perform to promote season 3? Will it be something from HIT LIST or BOMBSHELL?

I don't think a song being performed by DROOD being a spoiler song is really that much of a factor. The show is closed.
I thought "You Don't Know" and "I Am the One" were definitely spoilery in N2N but they performed 'em on the Tonys anyway.

The cast of A CHRISTMAS STORY (2013) will probably be cast by the time of the Tony Awards broadcast. Their auditions for kids are may 5th I believe. If Johnny Rabe is not coming back because he has outgrown the part (he deserved a nomination for his performance) then they will have time to put the cast together for, I imagine, RALPHIE TO THE RESCUE and maybe a short verse of the title song (which is quite lovely).
I find it hard to believe that MATILDA won't put REVOLTING CHILDREN on the telecast.

Posted: 4/30/13 at 8:08pmI really hope Kinky does something besides "Everybody Say Yeah" because the lyrics suck. I wish they do "The Sex is in the Heel" with a cameo by Cyndi . . . I could see that happening.

Posted: 4/30/13 at 10:13pm^^^^ Thank you! The lyrics in "Everybody Say Yeah" are horrendous. "The Sex is in the Heel," and "Raise You Up," would be much better choices. And if Lauper makes an appearance I am going to watch the Tonys more than once this year.

Posted: 4/30/13 at 10:22pmI actually wouldn't be against Hilty performing "Let's Be Bad" in full costume.

Posted: 4/30/13 at 11:35pmI predict that the ratings for this year's show will be lower than last year. What reason is there to watch?

Posted: 4/30/13 at 11:42pmIt would be nice to think HARDBODY which has a best score nom might get "Joy To The Lord" up there to showcase nominee Keala Settle.
Tony Performance Predictions#36
Posted: 4/30/13 at 11:43pmI hope there isn't a cruise or show tour number.
Tony Performance Predictions#37
Posted: 5/1/13 at 12:08amCarolee will perform "Stand Up" with the cast of Scandalous! After all if she does win the award it would be a shame not to see her give a performance.
Tony Performance Predictions#38
Posted: 5/1/13 at 12:11amI think they should have all of the shows perform little bits in the opening like they did in 2009, that was by far the best tony opening (aside from its not just for gays anymore). That way they can get the shows not nominated for musical or revival into the show without over stuffing it.

Posted: 5/1/13 at 12:49amWhat would happen if no one could afford to perform at all????
Tony Performance Predictions#40
Posted: 5/1/13 at 10:42amI would hope HARDBODY would do "Joy Of The Lord" to showcase Keala Settle (even though her odds against Andrea Martin are slim). I'm pretty sure Phish money kept the show open to begin with, so why not a last hurrah?

When it won for Best Musical (1986?), they did a mash up of There You Are (with the cast in the audience) and Dont't Quit While You're Ahead. It was a very good piece and sold the musical pretty well.
Who's to say this would not be an impetus to tour it again.

I hope they have tributes and medleys featuring btoadway legends like they use to have, not just numbers from nominated shows.
A big production number with Patti, Betty, Bernaddette, Liza, Elaine, Barbra, Sutton, Chita, Angela... All of the living legends!!
I wouldn't be surprised if SMASH performs, since Glee already did.

Posted: 5/2/13 at 2:32amI have a hunch that magic to do will NOT be the song Pippin does. I feel like that gives away one of the best moment's in the show and I feel like there is enough circus throughout without that. Although it does feature the whole cast. But I just have this feeling that they'll do Simple Joys.

I think "Magic to Do" would play so much better on TV than anything else. People would be wowed by it and immediately buy tickets. It also features all three nominees, as well as all the other principals other than Pippin. It's the show's "Circle of Life" and an iconic song as well, maybe the most famous.
Kinky Boots should do either "Sex Is in the Heel" or "Raise You Up" if only to show Billy Porter looking fabulous in drag.

Posted: 5/2/13 at 8:06amWhat about Barry Manilow ? He was on Broadway this season, though he isn't nominated for anything (such a pity the best theatrical event category doesn't exist anymore)It would be nice to see him perform at the Tonys...
Tony Performance Predictions#46
Posted: 5/2/13 at 8:12amI don't get the idea that PIPPIN wouldn't do "Magic to Do" because it gives away anything... it's literally the opening of the show, it's a perfect loss-leader to give away as an enticement to see the rest of the show that follows. Besides, they already did an interactive feature with NYT about that very moment, exploring it in detail, so whether you feel they shouldn't or not, the facts on the ground reveal that this production is more than happy to use their "Magic to Do" as bait. In fact, I'd be shocked if they didn't do that number at the Tonys.

Posted: 5/2/13 at 8:15amI hope they do "Magic to Do". I think it will come across beautifully on TV. It will get people buying tickets for sure.
Tony Performance Predictions#48
Posted: 5/3/13 at 4:17pmI firmly believe " There You Are" would be a wonderful number it's lively and the cast intermingles with Auidence. Good way to rally the viewers as well!
