NBC Broadway Special? Dec 10
2020, 09:02:53 PM
I really enjoyed the Chicago performance. It was nice to see something from one of the mainstays. I just confused about the shows they got. I’m guessing they asked most shows and these are the ones that responded, but it would’ve been nice to see something from more of the shows this season. Six, Company. I feel there’s so much missed opportunity here

I was just about to ask the same thing. Are they from the 20th anniversary tour that just won’t close?

Going off your post in the shutdown extension thread Jordan, I wonder how much of the rest of the cast that was previously announced will still be the same.

I'm sure they would allow them to compete next year. I think it's unlikely that the committee

Personally, I would add Kiss Me, Kate the first show to win the Best Musical Tony. I would also add Shuffle Along (1921) the first hit show written by an African American writing team.

Got this tonight:
“Due to Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s temporary ban on all events with over 250 people in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19, all performances of Dear Evan Hansen scheduled for March 25 - April 5 at the Fisher Theatre have been cancelled. In the coming weeks, we hope to announce dates for a future engagement”
We are getting refunds.

I have a trip to the city planned for May 28-31. As of right now I'm holding out hope.

Touring productions will cease as well...just you wait...why should they continue??? This COVID19 is MAJOR!"
That's why I said "as of right now". I fully expect the touring theatres to close too.

She sang beautifully and has a warm, bubbly personality, but she also nailed the "Dear Ephraim" pathos. I saw Bette Midler in New York, and Carolee's performance matched hers IMO. The man sitting next to me said Carolee (who he'd never heard of) was a worthy successor to Channing, and I had to agree.

I sat up there for King and I and thought the view was fantastic, and that's where my seats are for this. I bought tickets for this after convincing my companion to extend our trip by one day. Decided to see this over Beetlejuice as I don't see this touring and am extremely intrigued.
