Wait, they can't say "breast" but they can say "bitch"?

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

"Breast" is a sexual term, whereas "bitch" is an insulting term. And as we all know from film and TV, it's fine to have violence and the like on display for all to see, as long as making love is treated as something filthy and hidden away from the world. ^_^

Weez, that is so true and so unfortunate.

But it'll be interesting to see how the medley comes out. Hopefully it won't be as choppy as Sweeney's medley last year.

I feel like this year's performances are going to be disappointing because it's going to be the same things over and over again. I was hoping GG would do something other than "Revolutionary...", something like "Another Winter..." and I'd like to see ACL do the opening and not "One" for the 10397th time.

Plus, I'm with all the other people who said MP should do "Step in Time". It's something different and really showcases Gavin Lee.

I love 'Step In Time'. I hated it in the movie, those chimney sweeps scared the bejesus out of me. But I absolutely adore what they did with it for the stage production. And as Ashley Brown wasn't nominated, it would be nice to give Gavin the spotlight. 'Step In Time' pls! ^_^

I'd be surprised if they *don't* do step in time. It's a thrilling full-cast number, the ceiling-dancing is always impressive (will it come off as so on TV I wonder?), and everybody knows the song. And it's not supercali... so it's a notch down on the "annoying" factor.

Step in time sells the show more than any other number in MP.

Just to tell you all (past few posters)
Mary Poppins IS doing Supercali.......
I am willing to bet money....and I'm just saying that 'cause my friend's in it and going to the Tonys......so....yea

but Step in Time would be good considering they don't have to show off Ashley Brown, if they did they would probably do practicly perfect into supercali....

but no need to wory about that 'cause she's not nominated so yea........

Why don't they make Lea Salonga host the Tony? I saw her concert in Chicago and she can be very entertaining and funny.

I'd want to see a medley of Bitch of a Living and Totally F*CKed just because it'd be funny to listen to a lot of bleeps.

I once listened to a preview of a Totally F*CKed ringtone. They took out all the profanities so I was just listening to silence half the time.

But don't they usually release a list of performances before the tony's?

I saw the SA cast last night and they said it was a medley a-la Sweeney Todd.

SA has been planned.
Pretty easy to figure out.

Mama Reprise, guys bring chairs in. Straight to Bitch of Living, then a bit of Totally Fcked.

I would hope Curtains does "Show People" it is the entire company. Features Monk and Peirce

My CURTAINS connection won't spill the goods, but I am guessing it would be Show People, the only number that shows off all the principals. As much as I love Thataway!, Monk and Pierce are not in it, so it makes no sense to perform it. Critics is a great number, but there's no way they'd do one that Pierce is not in.

DRS- I HIGHLY doubt they'll do Totally F*CKed, unless it's the blah blah blah chorus or they substitute **** with screw. I'd be shocked if they didn't include some part of Touch Me.

my junk is a good song too, but considering that it features none of the nominees.

i am just wishing whatever SA does blows everyone away.. so people come to see the show!

hear my song; it was made for the time when you don't know where to go, listen to the song that i sing, you'll be fine..

"i am just wishing whatever SA does blows everyone away.. so people come to see the show!"

Hmmmmmmmm, I don't think that would sell nearly the amount of tix then a best new musical tag next to the show name. Does this show have the capability to pull in a larger audiance including those HS drama club trips from a place like Middletown USA? I mean it would be perfect for those kids to see this show but mom and pop may not be too happy with the staff if they hear this show includes songs about playing with yourself and incest.

Mary Poppins is doing Step in Time and Anything Can Happen according to playbill.com.Can't wait!!!This was my first New York Broadway show and loved it.

Show People is also sort of perfect for the Tonys, given its theme. It seems like the obvious choice.

Not a fan of medleys. I hope Mary Poppins does Step in Time. It was the only number in the show that I actually found fulfilling.

I think you can probably add Being Alive to the list of definites.
