Performances[]
- Big Finish - Karen Cartwright, Ivy Lynn & Ensemble
- Let's Be Bad - Ivy Lynn & Cast of Bombshell
- Broadway, Here I Come! - Karen Cartwright, Jimmy Collins, Ana Vargas, Sam Strickland & Cast of Hit List
Considered Performance Choices[]
Hit List went through many choices for their pick because of the quick casting change of the role of the Diva. Jimmy Collins, the composer and lyricist, chose not to perform at the Tonys. Later, the rest of the cast refused to perform with Daisy Parker, so she complained to the producer, Jerry Rand, and she was then given a solo. In the end, it turned out that the cast rebelled and performed Broadway, Here I Come!, without Miss Parker. Hit List
- I Heard Your Voice In A Dream performed by Jimmy Collins
- I'm Not Sorry performed by Karen Carwright & Daisy Parker
- Reach For Me performed by Daisy Parker
