The 72nd Tony Awards But Only the Parts with Sara Bareilles.. and by Default Also Josh Groban

Enthralled and love it.

Their opening song obviously doesn't have the NPH level of spectacle, but it's definitely one of my favourite numbers for the simple drama of a pair of talented musicians playing two grand pianos, and freaking seamless harmonies. I mean THAT TONE!

[JOSH & SARA]
So it begins
These are the Tonys
A theater tournament
Find out who wins
Who gets to go home
With that glorious ornament
We are your hosts
And we're perfectly suited to be
Because, did you know?
Neither one of us has ever won anything

[JOSH, spoken]
That can't be right, Sara, no. No Grammys for you? Really? No?

[SARA, spoken]
No, no, nothing, nothing. You know, and I'm shocked for you. 

[JOSH, spoken]
Yeah, well, you know. It is what it is. 

[JOSH & SARA, spoken]
Anyway...

(sung)
So let's take a moment for all of us
Before all our winners shine bright
Lest you forget about ninety percent of us
Leave empty-handed tonight

Oooh...
So this is for the people who lose
'Cause both of us have been in your shoes
Oooh...
This one's for the loser inside of you
And this is for the people who don't
Get to take the trophy home
Worked so hard and you look so pretty
Got your butt to Radio City!

Take it from two singing tuxedos
Smile tonight, no matter how it goes
Remember the shows who've proven a lack of top honor
Won't make you a goner
It might even make you a host!

[JOSH]
Jesus Christ Superstar, Dreamgirls and Hair

[SARA]
Wow! Hair?

[JOSH]
I know, it's Hair
Into the Woods!

[SARA]
Aw, but it's so good!

[JOSH]
Yeah, lost it to Phantom

[SARA]
Couldn't they share?

[JOSH]
Chicago and Waitress are still selling tickets

[SARA]
But neither went home with Best Musical

[JOSH & SARA]
And one of the most produced shows is mother------- Seussical!

So this is for the people who lose
'Cause most of us have been in your shoes
Oooh...
Look, you're at the Tonys
This one's for you
And this is for the people who don't
Get to take the trophy home
Worked so hard to write you a ditty
Raise your glass to Radio City!

[JOSH]
As much as we all love a rave review
We're here 'cause we love it even if we lose

[SARA]
What lasts are the stories and how we all feel
These shows help us open our hearts and they heal

[JOSH & SARA]
In a world that is scary and hard to endure
If you make art at all, you're a part of the cure
So whether you close in a week or ten years

[JOSH, SARA & COMPANY]
Antoinette honors everyone here!

[JOSH, spoken]
Ladies and gentlemen, representing the hardest working men and women on Broadway, ensemble members from every nominated musical tonight!

[JOSH, SARA & COMPANY]
Hey hey hey hey
So this is for the people who play
(This is for the people who play)
Go on with the show every day
On Broadway
Look, you're at the Tonys
This one's for you
And this is for the people who choose
To follow a dream
Tip your hats and raise your glasses
To theaters filled with total badasses
We welcome you to Tonys number 72
This one's for you!

love how the mean girls people are so obvious in the opening because they're the only ones in normal clothes

Sara should have won for Waitress but she was competing against Hamilton.....

The mic pack in Josh's back pocket is not a great look, lol

<3

Sara is my favorite voice

They need a whole album together!

Most positive thing I saw this week

the 72nd tony awrds but ony the parts sara areilles and by Default also Josh Groban

2020 update: Ha! Sara already won a Grammy Award for her song entitled "Saint Honesty"

Who can believe Sara is 41 years old?

Probably the best hosts, EVER.

All the costumes in the opening are like normal and here we have the super bright spongebob costumes

I wasn't ready for the finale to make me CRY 😭

This year I photographer Sara, Sutton Foster, Rene Elise Goldsberry, and Laura Benanti on separate shows. All amazing talents and totally down to earth. I couldn’t ask for anything more.

Their opening song was brilliant. Sara’s stamp was all over that. I cannot believe neither of them have ever won anything. I am shocked that Sara doesn’t have a Grammy. Shocked.

Superlative!

Thank you, that was really enjoyable!! Loved it!!

sara really got me tearing up with “this one’s for you” and “this one’s for the dreamers” ;-; also looove her dress at the end!

👏👏👏👏👏

SEUSSICAL

“If you make art at all you’re a part of the cure”

Still think the Great Comet was robbed

This song is so irrelevant considering Sara has a Grammy xoxo

This needs to be played at every award show

The two best hosts that the Tony's has ever had.

Man, Sara is a babe.

This is so underrated.

Clearly the best hosts ever!

I am so down recently, I watched this several times, I love Sara with Josh so much. Thanks for doing this, and I am happy that Sara was brave enough to live record "Saint Honesty" with her band, and won a Grammy she deserves all along.

They are beautiful!

Can we have a recording of the opening song? Sara's such a good writer

Fabulous!! Just wonderFULL!

Sara is SEXY and one of the loveliest people in the world.

They did such a wonderful job hosting!! And I can’t believe Sara never won a Grammy at that point 😮 I remember feeling so gutted when Waitress was nominated up against the giant Hamilton. Really wanted Sara to win that Tony Awards 🥲

I think its hilarious that now Josh is back on Broadway he most definitely is NOT doing eight shows a week! Dude must have negotiated that in his contract. Brilliant.

they should fck

I surprised how well Josh pulled off that waitress uniform…I mean he makes for a very hairy woman, but he still looks good in it!

Sara never disappoints

Sara is a great writer. All respect to all vocal athletes: nice pair of lungs, ladies and gentlemen.
