Martha Argerich, James Taylor, The Eagles, Al Pacino, and Mavis Staples. Worthy class, through I wish there were a Broadway honoree. Most excited about Mavis Staples.

By the way, when are they going to get around to honoring Stephen Schwartz? He deserves this.

If Schwartz was honored it would be such a broadway bash.

ben Vereen and patina Miller will do a joint intro of magic to do then idina menzel would come out singing defying gravity with backup of all the other elphaba and the idina and Kristin will sing for good together closing it out.

What about Alan Menken?! The man has nine oscars and was definitely one of the saviors of Disney animation.

And still, after all this time, no Honors for Francis Ford Coppola.

No disrespect but Miranda did 2 shows. Can we not wait a few years?There are many more seasoned individuals who have labored in the vineyards far longer than he has.His time will come soon enough.
