I haven't seen Bandstand because the musical style/era doesn't appeal to me, but I have to ask - is there a particular number that Corey Cott does in the wife-beater that he wears in that often-circulated promo photograph?

The most arguably exciting events to happen on Broadway this year (Midler, Sunday in the Park, Sunset Blvd) won't be on the Tonys. I'm calling it now, this will be the most boring Tony Awards ceremony we've had in recent memory.

Don't quote me on it, but I believe he's in the wife-beater during "Donny Novitski," his solo number from the beginning of the show, although he might be in it at other points, as well.

Disappointed that Anastasia and Sunset won't be performing, and that we won't be getting Bette performing as well.
UGH.

As much as I would love to see Anastasia perform, they don't seem to need the publicity. Plus, they can always send Christy out to the talk shows at a later date to perform, which won't cost as much as the Tonys will.

What is the cast of Falsettos performing?

It's weird that people are saying this will be the most boring, when I believe it will be the most exciting, with so many categories up in the air! I can't wait for Sunday!

Haha, I'm with you, LesWickedly. It's the most nail-biting year in a while awards-wise for sure! I think I'm just used to feeling amped up for at least a couple show performances. This year, there isn't really anything I'm that stoked for, except for maybe Comet and CFA. Bette would've really been the big one.

Okay, then that's the song they should do.

According to Breaking News, Hello, Dolly! is included in the Tony Awards performances. Did they reach a last minute agreement? HOPE SO!

David Hyde Pierce is performing, not Bette.

I think it'll be very exciting from an awards perspective... a little boring from a performance/host perspective.

I think I am going to agree with you on this. Its a shame.

Oooh, this makes me happy mostly cause I think JLT is amazing in DEH and deserved far more love for it so I'm happy they get a chance to showcase her alongside RBJ (and a new song they've yet to perform live) for a little bit.
Still sad about Hello, Dolly though. I guess it's too late now to hope that by some miracle they'll manage to at the very least perform ANOTHER number? I'll take anything that at least showcases Creel or Baldwin. No offence to David Hyde Pierce, who's great, but no thanks to 'Penny In My Pocket'.

We have a performance from true Broadway legends Patti LuPone and Chrstine Ebersole. I don't feel it will be boring at all (although it might give some viewers pause that what will most likely be one of the stronger and more memorable performances wasn't nominated for score...)

The In Memoriam will apparently be performed by a group made up of David Abeles, Chuck Cooper, Justin Guarini, Kevin Smith Kirkwood, and Okieriete Onaodowan.

I was skimming through this thread to see what's been confirmed. Very little thus far it seems.
Best Musical Nominees

Dear Evan Hansen – Messytheatre girl writes “Does Anybody Have a Map” & “Waving Through a Window”
Groundhog Day The Musical – Instagram says a medley
Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 –
Other New Musicals
Bandstand
War Paint - (I'd rather we get two brassy solos but I fear we'll get one of their somber duets)
Revivals
Falsettos – Andrew Rannells said it will be a group number. Baseball game?
Hello, Dolly! – Scott Rudin says Penny in My Pocket (Trolling at it’s finest)
Miss Saigon
Nothing from

So much better if they did shortened anybody have a map and the full version of waving through a window, but I will take what I can get.

^I agree, but this way almost all of the cast gets showcased in some kind of way.

I am guessing 'Welcome Home' would be a little tough on the Tonys? I wish they were doing 'you deserve it'. But I'll take whatever.

The tony awards Instagram story shows David Abeles as a performer. With whom is he performing?
