When will they announce this year's TONY performance numbers?

Sorry to have to devote a whole thread to this but don't they usually announce the performance numbers around this time?

Any predictions/hopes etc?

there have been 9284095628496286240624 threads on predictions. But thats cool. I dont know when they will announce the numbers. I can't wait to see what Drowsy's is.

Yeah, nothing like seeing Ms. Holliday unhinge her jaw...

In the interest of appealing to a wider TV audience, they've added a few higher-profile stars this year.

Here's the list!

Opening Number: The latest American Idol finalists arrive singing an "updated" medley from Sweeney Todd.

Charro and Wil Smith peform Seasons of Love from "Rent" honoring its Tenth Anniversary.

Paris Hilton will perform "Show Off" from "The Drowsy Chaperone."

*NSYNC and Janet Jackson make a surprise appearance performing "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" from Jersey Boys. (Viewer discretion advised.)

More stars and songs to be added in the coming days...

Actually what Manoel Felciano said is that there are no numbers performed by one or two people in the show because even if the number features the two leads, the whole company plays the orchestra so they will have to be on stage either way. I hope they don't do a medley, they should let them do the whole version of "A Little Priest" but since that won't happen, I'd prefer it if they did "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd" or the Pirelli sequence.

LOL at the JH Unhinging her jaw. That performance made me fear for her oral safety.

I would be really annoyed if they did a medley for Sweeney. Plus, wouldn't that be at least more difficult than usual b/c of their playing their own instruments?

I would like them to do The Ballad of Sweeney Todd, although the sad thing about that is it doesn't really show off the leads. Obviously, I'd be okay with A Little Priest, but I'm not sure I'd want to see a condensed version of that...
