A TonyAwards like no other, really. Strike leaves Broadway stars to rely on their 'live' muscles.
NEW YORK -- There are a lot of questions surrounding this year's Tony Awards -- and not just about who might win.
"I think the theatrical community is the one artistic community that is absolutely capable of pulling off a show like this and not having it feel like, 'Oh, I'm so scared and nervous!'" says Wayne Brady, who has been on Broadway in"Kinky Boots" and"Chicago" and will be leading a new"The Wiz." It's like, 'No, this is what we do. This is what we do.' And I can't wait to see it.
In addition, Joaquina Kalukango, the winner of last year's Tony for best performance by a leading actress in a musical, will sing, as well as casts from"A Beautiful Noise" and"Funny Girl." That means there'll be plenty of star power, from Josh Groban to Lea Michele. Stark Sands, who has twice been nominated and will attend this year as part of the musical"& Juliet," calls the telecast"an annual national commercial for Broadway."
