    NPH is a treasure. If he can’t host each year, maybe a good cameo to get him going.

    When I heard they scrapped this opening for the 2011 Tonys I was so bummed but it made more sense for them to do it the next year after they had already won. Plus “It’s Not Just For Gays Anymore” had A+ lyrics.

    Its interesting that the camera panned to Audra McDonald. Her husband, Will Swenson, was in a movie called "The Singles Ward" which is making fun of the LDS singles scene.

      Did the Bible have the answer...
      The Difference Between Mormonism And the Bible, is the perspective on God!!!
      ua-cam.com/video/qAhIeGjUZ5w/v-deo.html
      God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:24
      Jesus is the image of the invisible God ... Colossians 1:15
      And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32
      If Joseph Smith and his followers knew their Bible, they probably would have known that there is no other testimony of Jesus Christ than the Bible alone.
      - But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed...I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. Galatians 1:8,6,7
      - For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel,
      which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. 2 Corinthians 11:4
      In Christ Alone

      Fun fact: the host doesn't determine everything about the opening. There are a lot of writers involved too.
      For example, Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote one of NPH's other awards show songs, and no doubt he had a hand in writing some of this one too - if not all of it.
