Rialto Chatter: ALL of Broadway to Be Featured in Tonys Opening?

The 2013 Tony Awards are just over a week away, and according to the New York Post's Michael Riedel, plans are at last being finalized for the much-anticipated opening number. He writes: "This year, no single show will kick off the telecast. Every Broadway show - and I mean every show - will be part of the opening."
