Tony Performances Tomorrow — Page 2

I disagree jaystarr. While I love "Revolutionary Costume", it is not a good choice for the Tonys. If the producers are trying to sell tickes (which they should be) it's not the best choice. Unless you have seen the doc., most people won't really get it.

Does anyone else think a medley for Spring Awakening is a bad idea? I don't think medleys generally "work". Think Sweeney Todd.

I hate the idea of SA doing a medley.

I wish they would do something like "Touch Me", which IMO is the best song in the score.

From PLAYBILL.com

"Four-time Tony Award winner Audra McDonald — who is nominated this season for her performance in the acclaimed revival of 110 in the Shade — will perform Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt's "Raunchy" on the annual telecast. Playbill.com has also learned that Tony Award winner Christine Ebersole, nominated for her work in Grey Gardens, will sing Michael Korie and Scott Frankel's "The Revolutionary Costume for Today." The cast of the Tony-nominated Best Musical Spring Awakening will perform a medley of tunes from the Duncan Sheik-Steven Sater score, and the new Kander-Ebb-Holmes-Stone musical Curtains will perform "Show People." The final Best Musical nominee, Mary Poppins, will offer a medley of "Step in Time" (from the Sherman Brothers portion of the score) and "Anything Can Happen" (one of the new songs penned by Anthony Drewe and George Stiles).

The company of the hit revival of A Chorus Line will likely sing Marvin Hamlisch and Ed Kleban's "One," and Tony nominee Raul Esparza is expected to sing "Being Alive" from the Tony-nominated revival of Stephen Sondheim's Company."

Really, some of you don't like "Anything Can Happen" from Poppins. I think it's my favorite song in the show. Also love "Step in Time" and thank God their not doing Supercali since it's the most obvious choice and I'm tired of it.

And the point for JB to perform would be...?

Wait, what? jag, the votes were cast LONG before the ceremony. What, do you think the votes are cast during the ceremony?

Spring Awakening's performance is going to be great. Don't miss it.

Andrew is all-knowing to everything Spring Awakening :)

SA is REALLY hyping up this performance. It better live up or else a lot of people will be thinking- that was it?

I've always thought Peas In a Pod or The Five-Fifteen was a better choice.

Though, ANYTHING is better than "Hominy Grits".

Of course Christine is singing "Revolutionary Costume..." ,She brilliantly channels Edie and it is a showy,funny, tour de fource number for an amazing actress. Medley's tend to cheapen a peformance. This will get to show America a FINE performance in ,hopefully, complete form...an excellent endorsement for Grey Gardens.

Is Chorus Line doing the opening number? On wireimage they have pictures of rehearsal and it's the opening.
