With our NJ/NYC trip quickly approaching, I was thinking tuning into the Tonys maybe was not such a good thing. With just two quick nights in Manhattan, we only had time for one Broadway show. It was a struggle ot pick that one show... so throughout the telecast, I was wondering if we made a mistake... should it have been Spring Awakening or Grey Gardens or Frost/Nixon?!?
Thankfully, any iota of doubt flew out the window when Fantasia took the stage to sing I'm Here, the big number from The Color Purple. In promoting her 6-month stint in the lead role of Celie, I have seen Fantasia perform this number a few times already... and she has yet to leave me without a chill up my spine or a lump in my throat.
Here's a YouTube of Fantasia bringing down the house at the Tony Awards:
Now she better not call in sick or anything on our night... or else you are going to have to very grumpy guys!
