Dorothy Loudon SLAYS.

[@ERGStump]

Sandy Duncan doing "America" was a bold choice.

[@Harpfrmhel]

So much fun, but I have to say: Dorothy Louden stole the show.

[@KenDanieli]

Sandy Duncan kicked some ass with that dancing. Jesus. And Leslie Uggams sounded great.

[@geraldinebosworth4013]

This is wonderful. Just found it ❤👏👏👏👏👏

[@elizabethali8090]

The talent was outstanding! This was a gem! So many if these stars have passed! They were classy and so talented!

[@TheHisNat]

When Gypsy was mentioned you could see a slight twitch of happiness in Bea's face. She always wanted to play Mama Rose and never got the chance, it would have been amazing to see how she played it. Also the occasional glimpses of Helen Hayes, who was 86 by this point, are awesome.

It's great to see Bea Arthur again. 💖I

[@TheMedicareDiva]

Such talent on one stage!

[@summermen]

Leslie Uggams = gorgeous voice

[@jrthiker9908]

Great to see these stars do stuff outside their wheelhouse. And Sandy Duncan keeping up with Anne Reinking in the dance numbers. The hanging mic casting shadows in everyone's face was funny....odd for 1986 technology but probably for the TV broadcast.

Thank you for the effort and especially for including ther performers’ names💞

[@clarencehenderson7634]

That was on of the all time best Tony Awards show 1986!

[@TheTerryE]

Dorothy Loudon is the best of that group.

[@breadway6781]

I really wish that our current broadway favorites could do something like this, broadway through the years. I’d love to see stars such as Bernadette Peters, Audra McDonald, Jeremy Jordan, Gavin Creel, Kristin Chenoweth, Cynthia Erivo, Renee Elise Goldsberry, Jessie and Abby Mueller, Sam Pauly, Andrea Macasaet, Kelli O’Hara, Mandy Patinkin, etc.

[@CurtFischer34]

Love how the presaged Bernadette playing Mama Rose.

[@JG-uu1oj]

why is it Dorothy Loudon is the ONLY one who knows how to sing EASY STREET..

[@cloudbusting.heights]

Bea Arthur ❤️

[@bonnielennox4912]

This is one of my favourite Tonys. All these musicals and such a good cast and I just can't

[@corinnenh1217]
