Okay, so like a few others on here, I don't live in NYC and therefore don't know what channel the preview concert will be on for me. I tried searching, but I am not sure what channel to search. Would it be on CBS or PBS or another one? Thanks for your help!

It's on CBS, but outside of NY, they're airing it at various times this week.

I just watched it. It was pretty cool. I don't know if you all know what was performed but I'll post it anyways.

Shrek was first with "I Know It's Today"
Hair did "Where Do I Go?"
Next To Normal did "Superboy and the Invisible Girl"
Billy Elliott did "We'd Go Dancing"
Rock of Ages did "High Enough"
Guys and Dolls did "Marry the Man Today"
9 to 5 did "Get Out & Stay Out"
West Side Story did "Tonight(duet)"

Everyone did a great job and I can't wait to see how their performances on the Tony's pan out.

I was leaning against Rock of Ages until I saw the preview concert tonight, that number really was great.

I thought Jenn Damiamo sounded even better than usual, and that it was not Stephanie J. Block's best vocal performance.

I'm noticing that Amy Spanger sounds really shrill on TV, in both this and the Today show appearance it was quite evident.
