I was there today. Running time a little under 2 hours. It will go longer tomorrow because they pick the winners and give the presentations. Seth was great as always. His deconstructions are a highlight every year. Don't miss the opening number. It was my favorite. I was been going to this for over 20 years but I didn't think this was one of the better ones. My highlights:
Andre De Shields doing the moment of silence
The Great Society singing 'Eyes on the prize'
Hamilton and Frozen dance routines
It is a fun day and a great cause but I was slightly disappointed that some other shows didn't participate- how about Waitress since it is closing or Come from away, and Freestyle Love Supreme would have been a good one.
I had such a great time and the kids were great! There seemed to be more kids than usual for a Broadway Cares event. The dance to the Carol Channing monologue was so much fun — I don't have my playbill on me and don't remember which show that was.
Tiny note: I noticed The Book of Mormon wasn't mentioned nor listed in tours that fundraised. Is that because they were in Mexico for most of the fall collection period and couldn't collect then?
