Love it!

cbs way to slap the Broadway community in the face.

at least pick a good movie musical like little shop of horrors or something

i don’t get why people are upset about it, and i’m a musical theatre performer. they get the ratings they want, and quite honestly nobody is going to splice up these highlighted performances.

Wow, if only there were tons of broadway shows taped to show instead... oh wait...

cbs give a pro shot or something

I'm more then disappointed

No thanks

fitting because THIS is EW

That's been done to death! I want to see GREASE 2: THE SINGALONG.

There is a 73 year history of the Tony Awards and this is all they could come up with howrude. How about a show of the awards greatest moments, interviews with Broadway stars past and present, a celebration of greats recently pasted like Zoe Caldwell and Terrance McNally?

CBS A Grease singalong? Sure. Fine. Pero not as TheTonyAwards night! How about a montage of epic tonys past and then some footage of currently eligible shows? Get people excited/hopeful about broadway reopening. Plz? Help us out? I’LL help if ya need! I’ve got time!💃🏻

C'mon people, as much as nobody wants to admit it, a 'Grease' singalong is going to get much higher ratings than the Tony Awards justsaying dontshootthemessenger

CBS such a missed opportunity.with all the fantastic performances over the years TheTonyAwards and you do a sing along . Moronic

Are they serious?! That is a terrible idea.

This is bullshit. Why not just do a video stream? Or highlights of shows this past year. If the kids choice awards can do it and still include slime. Then the Tony's 100% should be able to do something. Especially if many shows have been cancelled during this time. Come on 🙄

cbs Please rethink this. The theater community is struggling right now - we need a celebration of our industry and inspiration for the future of it. Show past TheTonyAwards compilation PLEASE nogrease

Just gonna come out and say it but Grease 2 is better than Grease 👀

That's not the one that I want... It's more like 'Puke lightning'...

Why not a compilation of Super Bowl highlights since you’re obviously targeting the thing that Tony watchers are LEAST likely to enjoy?

There are thousands of unemployed editors who can do magic with past Tony Awards clips, at-home messages from past nominees and winners...Hell, get ActuallyNPH to do a parody of musical themes from home, and post a two hour special!

Pass

Go home ...you’re drunk...next!

This is a TERRIBLE IDEA! Anything featuring Theatre professionals who are waiting to come back to work would be so much more interesting and FUN! Please CBS reconsider!

👁👄👁

So has CBS ever heard the lyrics to Greased Lightning?

Literally, CBS, literally ANYTHING but this. You can’t come up with old performances from past Tony’s?!

.........but why?

Why not make it a double feature and show Grease 2

On the plus side, this idea is probably not so bad that children will die. On the other hand, that’s the best thing about it. Zero kid deaths.

No, thank you. Let's see the superior Grease 2 or do a Tony compilation show. Heck, do both.

Why not a compilation of Kennedy Center Honors performances in tribute to Broadway talent?

Why do y’all hate grease so much lmao

Bad call. VERY bad call.

BARF

CBS a Grease singalong? Really? 🙄 Literally NO ONE is excited about that. Especially not the people who would have watched TheTonyAwards ... why not air a compilation of TONY Awards past?

cbs is just being lazy. Just slap on a movie to keep the kids busy. They have time to do some editing for a Best of Tony Awards. Right?

I’m sorry CBS but ya girl already started making a YouTube playlist of the winners of Best Musical and Best Revival to watch on Tony Awarss night goodbye

your twitter handle sums up my feelings about this

DenaLSmith It will be like my birthday a few years ago!

Gross

Why

Please no.

i-

JNC_1982 💯Ayyy, I love the movie Grease!💯

may i instead suggest anything other than this

are they just going to bleep out 'Greased Lightnin' entirely or ...?

Ugh.

'CBS' broadcast of Grease — will feature follow-along lyrics to the movie's iconic tunes, like...'Greased Lightnin',' and more.' Can't wait to see how the censors will handle this one! 🤣

what will they say, Monday at school..

It would be better if the original Broadway show had been filmed. More stage productions should be filmed and shown so the people who can't get there can see the original. Big thank you to Lin_Manuel for Hamilton to Disney!

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers' Stay-At-Home Extension Blocked By Supreme CourtIt's another instance of the state's judiciary overruling the governor's authority during the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. This is the importance of the presidency, appointing judges to advance positions. Don't ever forget this lesson as we watch our legal landscape regress at every level. This administration appointed over 300 judges, including 2 SCOTUS spots. Misleading headline. A procedural mistake is what they ruled on, not the order.
