June 9, 2008

In addition to the eight nominated musical and musical revivals, the casts of
A Catered Affair, Young Frankenstein and The Little Mermaid will also perform on the 62nd Annual Tony Awards telecast on June 15.

The
press announcement does not include what songs the three shows will perform,
although the official MermaidFrankenstein's Megan Mullally will sing "Deep Love," and Catered's
Faith Prince will belt out "Vision."
website says star Sierra Boggess will
perform that musical's "Part of Your World," and Variety reports

As previously reported by Playbill.com, the cast of the Tony-nominated Best
Musical Passing Strange will perform "Keys" — the call-and-response
portion of the new musical at the Belasco Theatre that features its
Tony-nominated creator and star, Stew, singing, "It's alright . . ." — on the
2008 Tonys.

Playbill.com has also learned that In the Heights, which has been
nominated for 13 Tonys — the most of any show of the season — will perform
Lin-Manuel Miranda's "96,000," a joyous song about the hope of a lottery
windfall.

Cry-Baby, also nominated for Best Musical, will perform "A Little
Upset." That David Javerbaum-Adam Schlesinger song features Cry-Baby (James
Snyder), Dupree (Chester Gregory II), Allison (Elizabeth Stanley) and the
ensemble.
















 
 

Xanadu, the new musical at the
Helen Hayes Theatre based on the film of the same name, will perform Jeff
Lynne's "Don't Walk Away," which features Kerry Butler, Cheyenne Jackson, Tony
Roberts, Mary Testa, Jackie Hoffman and the Muses.

TV watchers can also expect performances from Best Revival of a Musical
nominees Gypsy ("Everything's Coming Up Roses"), Grease, South
Pacific
and Sunday in the Park with George ("Move On").

As previously announced, the 2008 Tony Awards will also include performances
from the casts of Rent and The Lion King.

The original principal cast of Jonathan Larson's Rent will join the
show's current company to celebrate the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical's lengthy
run, which ends Sept. 7 at the Nederlander Theatre.

The current company of the Tony-winning musical The Lion King will
also perform on the Tony telecast to celebrate the show's 10th anniversary; in
fact, the Disney musical will open the telecast with "Circle of Life."

Stage and screen star Whoopi Goldberg will host the 62nd Annual Tony Awards,
which will be presented June 15. CBS-TV will broadcast the event live from Radio
City Music Hall, 8-11 PM ET. (Red-carpet arrivals begin at 6 PM).

I browsed over some of this because I may be missing some of the show. But, I'm one of those people who likes to see "what's next" and "what's coming on" without knowing ahead of time...plus I hate knowing what some of the things are that I might miss...so I didn't want to pick up too much detail.
