Before I jump head first into shows like " Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 " and " Dear Evan Hansen". Let's look back at 5 moments that stood out to me from last year's Tony Awards. And these are just 5 moments, no one is above the other.
5. The Color Purple Performance : encouraged, inspired are but a few of the emotions I felt after this powerful performance, I have not listened to any more of the show as of this post, this one performance did what it was set out to do, it caught my attention and made me want to learn more about this production. If the album is as amazing as this I am on for a surprise.
4. The Ham for Ham
I loved the Ham for Ham lottery youtube videos, they always brought something different from actors performing different songs to different takes from celebrities on Hamilton favorites (weird al and Jimmy Fallon are some of my faves). Seeing all the different casts of the current Broadway line up perform classics was a real treat
3. The love for the Orlando nightclub victims : A terrible incident had happened that morning, families were broken in a senseless act of violence, yet the theater did what it does best, accept anyone no matter who they were with open arms, from sppeches and acknowledgements, the theater is truly a one of a kind place that accepts everyone.
2. The opening number: after a heartfelt speech James Cordern took the stage and brought an unforgettable performance, singing and dancing through so many Broadway shows was a great time, with a but if inspiration at the end saying it could be you on the stage, from fun to heart warming, it was a great way to start the night.
1. All the Hamilton: though it may have not beat the record held by " The Producers" for most Tony Awards it did make an impact. From great speeches from the cast to the Broadway legand Barbara Streisand presenting the final award, this show got all the love it deserved and will go down in history as a classic
With the Tonys being tonight as of this post here's to an amazing unforgettable night filled with great performances, and let's see who wins, I will recap the show among a few other surprises. Till then enjoy the show
