Today we continue the 2014 edition of our annual BroadwayWorld feature series spotlighting the very best Tony Awards-related moments of all time with a special focus on one of the biggest battles for Best Musical with CITY OF ANGELS versus GRAND HOTEL.
30 DAYS OF THE 2014 Tony Awards IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY... This fall, Fathom Events will present Tim Rice's timeless new musical "From Here to Eternity" to cinemas across the United States. Captured during the show's successful six-month West End run, U.S. audiences will be able to enjoy the UK production, as well as exclusive extras, on the big screen before it hits Broadway in 2015. More information is available here.
So, now, let's take a look at some of the most attention-worthy moment from GRAND HOTEL and CITY OF ANGELS. First up, the cast of CITY OF ANGELS perform on the 1990 Tony Awards. Next, see Randy Graff enact her incomparable CITY OF ANGELS showstopper. Now, see the cast of GRAND HOTEL perform on the Tony Awards and witness Michael Jeter's moving acceptance speech. Also, Jane Krakowski looks back at her GRAND HOTEL experience. How lucky were musical theatre fans in 1990?! With two Best Musical candidates this fresh and winning, it's no surprise many still debate the final decision to this day. But, why even choose? Clearly, both CITY OF ANGELS and GRAND HOTEL afford us with many reasons to revisit each time and time again and go a long way to prove that sometimes more is merrier, indeed - much, much more.
