Now that the nominees have been announced what do you think the shows will perform on Tony night?

CRY-BABY: "Nothing Bad's Ever Gonna Happen Again"

IN THE HEIGHTS: "In the Heights"

PASSING STRANGE: Medley (hopefully)

XANADU: "Xanadu"


GREASE: "You're The One That I Want"

SOUTH PACIFIC: "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair"

SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE: "Sunday"

GYPSY: "Rose's Turn"

CryBaby- The License Plate Dance Song (Sorry, don't know the title.)
Xanadu- The title song, maybe with a little "evil woman" mixed in. For them, I wouldn't be surprised to see a melody.
In the Heights- 96,000 or In the Heights, probably In the Heights
Passing Strange- Keys leading into Amsterdam (or the other way around)

Grease- Medley ending in "You're the One that I Want"
Sunday in the Park with George- The title song (hopefully).
South Pacific- Tough one. Maybe "Nothin Like a Dame?" Beats me, to be honest.
Gypsy- Rose's Turn.

I haven't seen Grease, Cry Baby, or South Pacific so I don't know about those- but I agree with the rest except I'd like to see in the Heights do 96,000 because it show cases more of the characters.

I hope CRY-BABY does "A Litte Upset" (aka the license plate song :)) as it is without a doubt the best song in the show but I have a feeling they'll go for the flashiness and unnecessary bigness of "Nothing Bad..."

I wish that Cry-Baby would just embrace it's badness and do either "Girl Can I Kiss You with Tongue" or "Baby Baby Baby".

In the Heights will probably perform the title song. Maybe 96,000.

Passing Strange should do Amsterdam.

Xanadu will probably do a medley.

While Rose's Turn is the obvious choice for Gypsy, I wonder if they will surprise us and do "Together, Wherever We Go" since it showcases all 3 nominees, all of whom are the favorites in their respective categories.

I think Sunday in the Park should do "Move On" instead of "Sunday". The projections are such an important part of the title song, and I don't know if they will be able to do them at Radio City.

South Pacific will probably do "Wash That Man" but I hope they do some of "This Nearly Was Mine" to show off Paolo since he will probably win.

Who the hell cares what Grease does? It's gonna suck no matter what.

I think SP should do a medley

[jackson992]

Posted: 5/13/08 at 8:31pm

I wanna see Grease do Hopelessly or Summer Lovin but whatever they do will be great.

Posted: 5/13/08 at 8:32pm

OMG, you're right, Grease is SO great, tell me more , tell me more...

[WiCkEDrOcKS]

Posted: 5/13/08 at 8:33pm

Ha!

GREASE makes me laugh...

I'm predicting EVERYTHING'S COMING UP ROSES for Gypsy.

It seems they want to keep ROSE'S TURN a secret. There has been no footage released of it.

They will want to showcase Patti, no doubt about it. At least ECUR would have Boyd and Laura in it. TOGETHER wouldn't showcase Patti enough. Updated On: 5/13/08 at 08:38 PM

Well, if I'm not mistaken don't some shows do a mix or songs? In The Heights will probably do a combo of In The Heights and 96,000

[defyingravity07]

Posted: 5/13/08 at 8:59pm

What do you mean secret? If you have been oblivious to Rose's Turn for 49 years you should be exposed to it but, I would like them to do "Together..."

[WiCkEDrOcKS]

Posted: 5/13/08 at 9:00pm

ljay means they want to keep Patti's actual performance of the song...I'm assuming.

[jaystarr]

Posted: 5/13/08 at 9:01pm

If CRY-BABY perform "I'm A Little Upset" (the license plate number)~ that would be it! They already gave everything!!!!-that's about the BEST part of the show! No need to see the show anymore!

Exactly, Wicked.

Patti's interpretation is so different and special...I feel like they are trying to preserve it to staying in the theater.

[defyingravity07]

Posted: 5/13/08 at 9:05pm

Ahhh, I want Cry-Baby to do Screw Loose. I haven't seen it but from clips is seems like a good song.

[withoutlovewithoutU]

Posted: 5/13/08 at 9:11pm

I actually think that In the Heights will do "96,000" cause both Lin and Robin are nominated.... but then again Olga is in the opening.... Hmmm, haha never mind I don't know now!

[Elphie3]

Posted: 5/13/08 at 9:12pm

I think Gypsy might do "Everything's Coming Up Roses" - it features all three, and Bernadette did "Roses Turn" a couple years ago.

[jaystarr]

Posted: 5/13/08 at 9:12pm

96 G is a perfect song for IN THE HEIGHTS!

Well, am I the only one that thinks "Carnaval del Barrio" would be a wonderful song for the Tonys for IN THE HEIGHTS ? But 96.000 or the title song are great, too.

And please, let them do Patti's ROSE'S TURN ! THAT performance deserves to be seen and preserved for all eternity !

[Theatreboy49]

Posted: 5/13/08 at 9:25pm

I havent seen or heard anything from Cry baby or Passing Strange so I cannot predict but these are my predictions:

In the Heights:
I want to see: 96,000
Probably will perform: 96,000

Xanadu:
I want to see: A medley of Im Alive/Evil Woman/Dont Walk Away/Xanadu
Probably will perform: Xanadu

South Pacific:
I want to see: A medley featuring all the cast members
Probably: Either a Medley or Nothing Like a Dame

Sunday in the Park:
I want to see: Move On
Probably will perform: Sunday

Gypsy:
I want to see: Rose's Turn
Probably will perform: Either Everything's coming up roses or Together wherever we go

Grease:
What I want to see: nothing
Probably will perform: Your the one that i want

I think Xanadu will either do what they did for the parade on I'm Alive.

[moulin724rouge]

Posted: 5/13/08 at 10:02pm

I think Crybaby will do "A Little Upset" since it showcases their best choreography and that is what they should be showing off :)

[BobbyBubby]

Posted: 5/13/08 at 10:05pm

Together would allow them to showcase all three nominees.

And maybe Benanti can chuck another plate into the first row!
