My Favorite Tony Award Performances

Due to the coronavirus shutting down Broadway and large gatherings, the Tony Awards will not go on this year. The smart thing to do would be for CBS to replace the Tony Awards would be to highlight Broadway and find great performances and bits of Tonys past and package them into a clip show. They have in-house theater loving hosts in Stephen Colbert and James Corden, they could share duties throughout the program and do intros and share some of their favorite moments.

But instead CBS is showing a sing-a-long of Grease. So I'm doing a best of Tony list myself.

Here are the clips I could find of my favorite show opens, bits, and a bunch of musicals.
