Concur with you. Ashford, Osnes and Tveit are pretty sublime. But Jackson? Ugh. He’s reaching for notes, left and right. Wishing Tony Yazbeck was there. Anyway - looking forward to West Side Story. Happy 2018 all!
I'm watching this and like it but I really don't get why these Bernstein concerts have to be so loaded with testimonials about what an amazing swell guy he was. I'm sure he was charming and fun but these "Lenny was so swell" anecdotes wear thin the 500th time you've heard them.
Hoping to get Osnes and Yazbeck back together for their joyous "Crazy for You."
She had this to say in an interview on the Lincoln Center site:
LO: Now that Bandstand is over everyone is asking what's next, and there's a potential Broadway revival of Crazy For You that we actually did at Lincoln Center last year, so that was amazing. The goal is to come to Broadway in the 18–19 season, so that's hopefully on the horizon unless something else comes along. "
I was at Lincoln Center for the show tonight. It was amazing. I agree with everyone about Osnes, Tveit and Ashford. Jackson was terrible, but not as good as the others. On a bus on my way home to Boston now, but the show well worth the trip. I set my DVR to record the show on PBS. Looking forward to watching it again.

Ah. I sorta hope something else comes along for her. I think we'd all kick ourselves if we didn't let Mara Davi play that role - especially opposite Yazbeck. I love Laura, but I think Mara is much more suited for it.
And, yes, they usually post their episodes on the PBS website for limited time free streaming!
They/them.
