Sunday’s Tony Awards will include just about everything from this season — even performances from shows that are playing but not nominated like “Finding Neverland” and “Gigi.” Plus, Josh Groban, who has never been in a Broadway show, is in a big production number designed to attract young people, I guess. Sting is listed as a presenter, although he’s nominated for Best Score. He should be performing one of those songs from “The Last Ship.” That was the best score.
From the nominated shows:
A medley of “Life Is Like A Train,” “On the 20th Century,” “I’ve Got It All” and “Babette,” featuring 2015 Tony Nominee and Tony Awards co-host Kristin Chenoweth and the cast of On the Twentieth Century.
“Getting to Know You” and “Shall We Dance?” from The King and I, featuring 2015 Tony Nominees Kelli O’Hara, Ken Watanabe and Ruthie Ann Miles.
“Ring of Keys” from Fun Home, featuring 2015 Tony Nominees Sydney Lucas, Michael Cerveris and Beth Malone.
“A Musical” featuring 2015 Tony Nominees Brian d’Arcy James, Brad Oscar and the cast of Something Rotten!
A medley of “An American in Paris (pas de deux),” “’S Wonderful” and “I Got Rhythm,” featuring 2015 Tony Nominees Leanne Cope, Robert Fairchild, Brandon Uranowitz, Max von Essen and the cast of An American in Paris.
“Love and Love Alone” and “I Would Never Leave You,” featuring 2015 Tony Nominee Chita Rivera and the cast of The Visit.
A medley of “Lonely Town,” “New York, New York,” and “Times Square Ballet,” featuring 2015 Tony Nominee Tony Yazbeck and the cast of On the Town.
