Gearing Up For the Tony’s

In honor of the Tony’s this weekend, I thought I would post a little throwback video. If this doesn’t make you happy, you might be dead.

My favorite thing is the expression on the faces of the innocent bystanders sitting right next to the cast members singing their hearts out. It’s a combination of bewilderment and happiness. They also did a similar performance on a subway train in New York.

And also, if you haven’t seen the James Corden Carpool Karaoke with Broadway stars– that is your homework assignment.

Let’s go Hamilton!

The Best of the Tony Awards

In case you missed it, the Tony Awards were last night. I thought this year was going to be a snooze because Hugh Jackman was the host (as opposed to Neil Patrick Harris), and the field of productions did not seem too impressive. But I definitely called it too early, because there were some awesome moments like:

Great performances from revivals: Hedwig and the Angry Inch, and Violet. I haven’t seen either production in person, but they look like fun!
