1986 Tony Awards - Broadway Tunes 

Dorothy loudon was amazing in this -how she always made me smile and laugh

Thanks to the ANGEL who put this RU-vid playlist together. TOV!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS I miss my Nell 😘😘🥰🥰🥰😍😍

@rickram1961 absolutely agree. I had this year's award show on VHS and would play this section, especially, the awesome Dorothy Loudon's EASY STREET "she's still doing it!... oh GOD!' Wonderful moment. Thank you dinnertyme.

One of my biggest theatrical regrets is that I never saw Dorothy Loudon on stage. What a star.

God, wasn't Loudon just awesome? I just want to shake like I don't give a crap about the world when I hear her singing. And I really think Bea Arthur could really drive those prowling demons away judging by the way she sings 'I don't care'.

Dorothy Loudon! What a trouper! My! My! My! The heaven canteen with Dorothy must be rockin!

I absolutely love this clip especially with Dorothy Loudon (Annie) hamming it up!

Dorothy Loudon is too good, but Karen Morrow as Evita may be one of the strangest things I've ever seen.

3:52 Nell Carter hit it to the T! Cats she wud have won da Tony's for it too!

I love bea

So many years before any movie!!!

Loudon, Loudon, Loudon.

@tranquilitybase You Betcha. Just 40 seconds of performance, and it's memorable!!!

LOVED REX SMITH IN THIS VIDEO, HE IS GREAT IN ANYTHING HE DOES.

"Dorothy Louden and Snooky Lanson in Your Hit Parade!"

All of them sound great. This is just such an odd medley. lol

@JoeinWashDC She has the audience and that "star-studded" group onstage eating of her hand.

That's a hell of a chorus line.

LOVE THIS ALL

This "crap"?! This is pure talent. @MooYawn

@noodle0912 no it wasn't How it was Nell, Nell Carter and she sang it very nicely. ; )

he needed to get on tune OUCHH was he FLAT

This video makes me wonder what it would have been like if Bea Arthur had played Mrs. Lovett at some point (I'm presuming that she never had). I can't decide if it would have been a dazzling success or a miserable failure. I love Bea, and would hope that it would be the former, but it's not quite the role she's known for playing.

Do you have the rest of this medley from the other shows leading up to "A Chorus Line?"

@lumiere85 I thought she was a guy at first lol

Dorothy was perfect as always, but overall it was terrible. Bea singing not while I'm around was pure garbage.

One of the worst seasons ever. They should have not even had a Tony show. They had to recycle because the only outstanding event of that season was Chita Rivera In Jerry's Girls.
