I deliver unto you all the goods from the Tony's, and none of the boring crap. Merry Christmas. A little microphone difficulty is taken in stride...Nicely. (Nicely? *snort*) Guys and Dolls starring Oliver Platt as Nathan Detroit and Lauren Graham (from Gilmore Girls) as Adelaide? Fact. Dig the choreography! Check how many Jerome Robbins bits you can find. Nifty tidbit of information-- every "Shark" in the cast is 100% genuine Puerto Rican. The "swan lake" sequence of Billy Elliot where the kid flies on a wire is much prettier, but this number would carry a heavy weight of emotional impact into the audience. I can't believe the Billy's keep up this performance multiple times a day.
For the brief showcase of EVERYTHING at the Tony's, including the fun spats of Hair and 9 to 5, refer to this, the opening number of the program.

Holy Jerome Robbins batman! There weren't just tidbits in there, it was mostly his choreography...right down to the chicken head bob half way through. :) Thanks for posting these. I had SO MUCH FUN watching!
