she DID THE THING.
hitting every note while no-stoping dancing is amazing
she’s truly a force of nature!
Very fiery person
Am I the only one still watching this performance on a daily basis? Like, this is still a huge part of my daily entertainment with multiple watches a day.
oh me. 100% me. something abt this is so addictive
I don't watch it daily but I definitely come back weekly
Weekly
Me everyday
Couple times a month for sure
she's doing all of that while making it feel effortless. ugh I love her so much
It's incredible. Once the curtain falls on the performance, the only evidence she ever gives off that it happened is the slight breathlessness as she starts hosting the ceremony proper - no fatigue showing in the limbs, smile that could outshine the average supernova, absolutely raring to go. "It's on!"
That is the most wonderful thing about the stage. The performers do the most amazing things almost effortlessly.
I just can hardly believe she can do all that without losing breath. Her fitness must be insane.
I saw an interview with her or interviews and she is something of a fighter. Very passionate person.
omg LMM at the end standing up and clapping 😭 he was so proud of her his face omg I love him
Yes I was tearing seeing him looking so proud with tears in his eyes.
Lin is like : Now THAT'S the woman I raised in Hamilton!!"
Her reaction to the standing ovation is just the best.
Lin practically JUMPING to his feet
no one touch me I'm emotional
2:49 This moment right here - The piano part of "Defying Gravity" under "You Can't Stop The Beat" - might be my absolute favorite part of the entire mashup.
So good! My fave might be "24601 night only"
@@matthewrandell5055 agree that that's the best lyric moment. and @Landis963, that was the best musical moment
Yes! That part AND the part with Phantom of the Opera at 04:12 where she gets lifted in the air.
@@yoeridesloovere2676 I was about to say, Phantom drums with the tune/lyrics of Let the Sunshine In just makes me smile. But the whole thing is full of iconic moments
Agreed! Transitions of key change and all smooth. Excellence on stage! ^^
I legit got emotional when they were showing the speeches, someday I’ll be there if I work hard for it. And the standing ovation was SOO well deserved, this is literally one of the best performances I’ve seen in my life, I got emotional for her, and for the someday that starts today and now.
Rooting for you!!
@@ludameri1384 THANK YOUU!!!
Sorry, no you won't. It's winning the lottery. Thousands of talented hard working people get NO recognition their entire lives. Your greatness isn't defined by what other people think. F them. Do what you want and be happy because the world doesn't care about you. Only you care about you.
@@Mutiny960 I know I will, but thanks! Please allow yourself and others to work hard and achieve their goals, It’s okay to be realistic but there’s no need to be pessimistic, I really hope you achieve all you want, because life is beautiful! And as I care for my happiness I really wish for you the best, and for yours dreams to become goals and then achievements! Anything is possible, don’t forget that, especially with discipline and hard work, oh and of course, happiness!
@@antonellapuchi9086 Ahhh "Pessimism" there's the negative buzzword people use to fool themselves into thinking reality isn't reality LOL. If you want to believe you will win the lottery because you're somehow more special than every other equally talented, hard working, and driven person in the entertainment business then go ahead and continue to be delusional. Just don't let it drive you to drinking and drugs when it doesn't happen :).

Great job. I wish the Fosse reference was a bit more obvious as his work is iconic.
All of you missed 1:20 Putting it together from Sunday in the Park with George! Both melody and lyrics
@@FlusteredBushStudios good point and thanks for identifying! I wasn't thinking to note that one since it's the intro to the whole format
@@shealee3917 np! i see it as the start to the mashup, the intro was the original song in my opinion
This is one of the GREATEST musical numbers in herstory. Ariana DeBose the woman and ICON that you are.
Best opening musical number in Tony Award since Neil Patrick Harris' Bigger back in 2013, that's saying something
THIS HAS GOTTA BE MY FAVORITE TONY OPENING OF ALL TIME! THE CHOREOGRAPHY THE SONG THE MASHED BROADWAY MUSIC EVERYTHING! Also i just absolutely adore Ariana
she does a tremendous Job. however i wouldnt put her ahead of Neil Patrick harris
@@nickthequick2326 Yeah, NPH performing "Bigger" for the opening, don't think anything will ever top that
Whaaaaat no, that was horrendous. Neil Patrick Harris and Hugh Jackman rocked it better. You‘re probably too young to know that.
2013 would like a word
The "Wait for Me" mixed with "It's All Happening" will never not make me cry.
Wait For Me playing in the background of the speeches almost made me cry ngl, along with Lin's iconic love is love speech
ikr!! also, missed opportunity to have andres speech play during wait for me but i loved it regardless
I find myself watching this at least once a week. She was so good.
This and NPH’s opening in 2013 are my favorite opening for any award ceremony that I’ve seen
2013 was great, but I think I've watched his 2011 opening "Broadway is not just for gays anymore" about 30 times 😄
Agreed. This is the first opening number since 2013’s opening that’s hit and fascinated me at a level even approaching it. I still return to that opening number online when I need a “hit” of happiness!
This is so layered and well executed I can sense I’ll be returning to this link repeatedly.
If Neil Patrick Harris isn't interested in hosting award shows, then we need to bring Ariana to do this in every award show including the Tony and the Oscars
I love the look on face at the end when she realized that she did the damned thing in front of all her heroes!
The pan over to Lin Manuel saying "I LOVE YOU" to Ariana debose is the best part tbh
I've watched it a million times and Lin's reaction at the end gets me every time!
A Tony opening performance that will sure made Neil Patrick Harris proud and that's saying something
Something I love is just how comfortable she is during the “Magic to do” part since she was the leading player understudy
Considering the way she dances, that makes so much sense!
This is, without a doubt, one of the greatest opening numbers of any awards show in history. It's incredibly complex, from the constant changes in tempo, key, and musical styles to the intense choreography and lighting design. It does a great job at tugging at the heart strings, especially during the past winning speeches at 3:11. I'm a huge fan of Lea Salonga, so it made me happy to see her included and recognized on that stage.
Lin reaction 🥺🥺 He looks like a proud dad😍😍
This performance absolutely CLOWNS on that stupid joke about her not being able to sing, my god.
Wait, there are people who think she can't sing?? What the hell, i'm pretty sure she did all the singing by herself in West Side Story and fucking nailed it! Idk why people say she can't sing
Ariana undoubtedly being Anita in Spielberg's WSS has the popularity she deserved since she began her acting career And well, what can I say apart from the fact that this presentation was simply wonderful and one of the best that the award has had in its existence, this girl knows that she has a great future ahead of her
The last RENT reference made me tear up: I always wish Jonathan Larson could be here to see the impact his show has
Its that giant smile at the end where she looks so excited that gets me
No one:
Ariana Debose: destroys all of us with this masterpiece of talent
4:13 gave me literal chills omg
I've never heard of ariana debose but ive just realised that this is that deadly little charmer from the hamilton chorus. It's such a mad surreal privilege to watch someone's dream come true!
Thanks for posting this!!!!
I'll never understand why they don't show the Tonys worldwide, but thanks to youtube I could see this at least months later 😄
Same here! Very thankful for the repost 💙
I just adore Ariana DeBose . She is an amazing talent while being humble She deserves all the wonderful things coming her way!
Lyrics
[ARIANA]
That sound, the sound of cheering
We work to try and hear it
Each show we've ever put on
And poured our hearts into
But this is the occasion
The night with the ovation
Belongs to everyone here
Every one of you
'Cause we all play a leading part
In this art of making art
And so, tonight, for you, I wanna start
By saying
To every team, every cast
In present, future, and past
Tonight, at last
This is your round of applause
For the last seventy-five years
You've kept it alive, cheers
High five!
This is your round of applause
'Cause you know the show would never go on
If we didn't all come together as one
So let's all take this chance
To make a song and a dance
Let's see your hands
This is your round of applause
Bit by bit, putting it together
There's been too many shows over the years
To list them top to bottom
So we've mashed up a few, let's see if you can spot 'em!
[ENSEMBLE, spoken]
Women in the sequel, work!
[ARIANA]
Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome
Im Cabaret, au Cabaret, to Cabaret
Life's a ball, if only you know it
And it's all just waiting for you
Come on!
[ARIANA, ENSEMBLE, ALL]
Stand back, Buenos Aires (Ease on down the road)
You ain't never had a friend like me (Never had a friend like me)
And we've got magic to do
Just for you
But I simply cannot do it alone
Yodl layee, odl layee, odl-oo
[ARIANA, spoken, ENSEMBLE & LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA, spoken]
Radio City! (Look around, look around)
What's good? (And love is love is love is love)
[ARIANA, ENSEMBLE, ALL]
To Fosse, Ebb and Kander (Work, work)
To Lin-Manuel Miranda (Work)
I'm such a fan, duh! (We better work, work)
This is your round of applause
Won't forget, can't regret
What I did for love
I got rhythm
I got music
I got my gal
Who could ask for anything more?
'Cause the world keeps spinning 'round and 'round
('Round and 'round)
And my heart's keeping time to the speed of sound
(Speed of sound)
I was lost 'til I heard the drums, then I found my way
'Cause you can't stop the beat
To all my theatre queens
Who get it done like machines
Behind the scenes
This is your round of applause
It's been seventy-five years
Of bringing laughter and tears
Y'all are fierce
This is your round of applause
[LEA SALONGA, spoken]
This can't be for real
[DAISY EAGAN, spoken]
I don't think I can talk
[KRISTIN CHENOWETH, spoken]
Mom and Dad, you drove me to many, many hours of ballet and dance classes, I hope you feel it's worth it now
[ADRIENNE WARREN, spoken, & ENSEMBLE]
My parents; everything that I am, is because of you
(Let's go, ooh-woah)
[JUDITH LIGHT, spoken, & ENSEMBLE]
Uh, this is such a gift, and you are such a generous community
(Wait for me, I'm coming)
[MICHAEL BENNETT & MICHAEL PETERS, spoken, & ENSEMBLE]
We would like to thank our dancing sets, our dancing lights, our dancing costumes
(Let's go, ooh-whoa)
[BARBRA STREISAND, spoken, & ENSEMBLE]
It was on a Broadway stage that my, my career really began
(Wait, I'm coming with you)
(It's all happening)
[ARIANA]
There's a place for us
[AUDRA MCDONALD, spoken, & ARIANA]
I want to thank all the shoulders of the strong and brave and courageous women that I am standing on
(Somewhere, a place for us, it all fades away but you)
[JEANINE TESORI, spoken, ARIANA & ENSEMBLE]
Because for girls, you have to see it to be it
(Gimme, gimme)
(Thank you for the music)
(That thing called)
[ARI’EL STACHEL, spoken, ARIANA & ENSEMBLE]
Your biggest obstacle may turn into your purpose
(The songs I'm singing)
(One more dawn)
[ANDRÉ DE SHIELDS, spoken, & ENSEMBLE]
So keep climbing
(One more day)
[JAMES MONROE IGLEHART, spoken, & ARIANA]
This is a praise shout, hey!
(2-4-6-0)
[ARIANA, ENSEMBLE, ALL]
One night only, one night only
We only have 'til dawn
Let the sunshine (Yeah)
Let the sunshine in
Everybody rise
Rise
To brass, percussion, and strings
To everyone in the wings
And all the swings!
This is your round of applause
To every theatre fan
Here since the Tonys began
It's you we stan
This is your round of applause
Climb ev'ry mountain (This is your round of applause)
Keep it gay, keep it gay, keep it gay (So lift your hands up because)

Are the luckiest people
Hey, world! (In the world)
I am what I am!
Viva la vie Broadway!
Hah!
This is your round of applause
This is your round of applause!
Thank you!
Thank you!!!
Thanks for this! Much easier to sing along with this awesome opening number ❤️❤️❤️
Thank You soo much❤❤
Amazing! Thank you for your time and effort.
I scream whenever there is a west side story and hamilton reference. I love her so much in both musicals
gave me chills when I first watched it, and it still gives me chills now. ariana debose is an absolute LEGEND
I’ve never seen anyone more striking. I need a full moment.
the way the choreo changes at 2:45 gives me goosebumps
Pure excellence on stage!! ^^
The kiss at the Hair moment 🥰
she’s fucking crazy talented out of this WORLD
I watch this again and again- it’s such a beautifully arranged, choreographed, and performed love letter to theatre and the people who make it happen. The best part is knowing that from you, the other writers, and Ariana it isn’t just lip service: When you recognize the swings, creative teams, front of house, orchestra (and more)- you genuinely mean it.
… also, the Wicked orchestration under Hairspray was phenomenal. I’d forgotten what that theme felt like and it’s magic (like like this piece).
A year later & I'm still watching it ❤
WHY ISN'T THIS ON SPOTIFY!!!?
There hasn't been a single Tony Award opening song on Spotify and that's sad. I would've want this and NPH's Bigger as a soundtrack 😢
This makes me tear up every time I watch it. There’s something so powerful about bringing together multiple shows and their songs to create this masterpiece. Incredibly executed 👏
Holy crap. She nailed it.
Thanks for reposting and with the well deserved standing O! I'm a big fan of your mashups and this is just wonderful. Have been watching daily (on Paramount) for an regular hit of JOY!
Thank you so much!!! Had to repost when all the CBS content from the night went private. 🥰
@@brauhala Just noticed you named all the dancers! Thanks for that too - they were terrific. Quite the team all together!
I SURE can understand watching daily for a regular hit of joy ! Exactly how I felt !
Wow, I AM SO READY to see a show where ARIANA DEBOSE is FRONT AND CENTER...where she is THE STAR...🌟!!!
She is SO GREAT...🤩🤩🤩!!!
What a talent. She was so under-utilised in Hamilton and Schmigadoon and even The Prom
Good thing Steven Spielberg saw what she's capable at and gave her Anita for West Side Story that earned her an Oscar
Ahhhh LMM reaction when she called him out on stage 🤍 so fcking cute I love their friendship
And his face when he was applauding at the end. Total awe and pride
@@dragon_toad ugh ikr!!!
AND NOW SHE GONNA DO IT AGAIN
“And all the swings” ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve watched this so many times. She is perfect!!!
Ahhh last night was the 2023 Tony's and I'm seeing this and remembering how much I loved this when it came on last year!! Crazy how fast time flies!!! 👏🏻
not gonna lie i only really found about her through the “Angela Basset did tha thing.” (which is iconic) but my god is this woman talented, how on earth does she sing like that while dancing like that? what a talent. ❤
I woke up this morning and this song was stuck in my head. I had to come listen to it.
I didn't know I needed this performance in my life. Wow !!
Excellence on stage!! Especially with the key change to 2:44 Hairspray - 'you can't stop the beat' while being lifted. You can feel the smooth transition tone, key notes and vibrato flow out of her mouth.
She was absolutely stunning!! Like I could watch her perform for hours that was, like nothing I've ever seen honestly
Whenever I'm bored of continuously watching Ariana do her thang here, I instead watch the skill and entertainment of another in the emsemble who you can see on the bottom left side of the group as shown at 0:49. Just follow him through the video! And he obviously has a great friendship with Ariana too- it's adorable
Wow she really did tha thing!!😂
SHE DID THAT!! SHE DID THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's a STAR!!!!
4:15 is the moment that gave birth to me
this woman is EVERYTHING
Huge props to the choreography and the dancers. THAT is Broadway-level movement work!
lin being a proud papa >>>>
i know she says "and all the SWINGS" ... but I keep hearing "and all the TWINKS" LOL
I actually thought she said and all the twinks and I was like “wait what”
That is why she won a Oscar!
this is what i consider perfection.
This has to be one of the BEST mashups ive ever heard of MT music just like A+++++
I swear to god entire Hamilton cast jumps on their feet whenever any one of them does anything phenomenal 🥹🥹🥹
Definitely one of the best opening numbers in Tony Awards history.
Yesss I'm so glad this is finally on RUclips in an official capacity since I don't have my paramount subscription any more. I tried to look it up a week ago and just couldn't find it, so I was thrilled to see it pop up in my subscriptions this morning lol.
It's such a beautiful number! You and the whole team did an amazing job with the mash ups, orchestrations, etc. Love it so much!!! ❤️❤️
Who’s here after the BAFTAs?
Shut up 🤣🤣🤣
Me!!!! Loved her Baftas performance
@@samlarmer4412I also liked her bafta performance
I’m here after watching a clip from this performance shown on the GN Show.
Me😂
Appreciate this post. The audio is great and the standing O was included. Ariana Debose is an outstanding performer
Aweee Charlie and Ryan's kiss 💚
I don’t know who they are, but it was extremely sweet! I assume that was in the choreography and they didn’t just feel like it
@@londongirl2768 I'm assuming that as well - mainly because everything else in the song was so meticulously timed. (Although I have spent -more than- a few hours trying to trace the two back through the choreography)
AND SHES GONNA HOST AGAIN THIS YEAR
I legit teared up this is so good
I would pay full price to see Ariana DeBose read the phone book.
So...this number had to really grow on me. I'm not gonna lie. The first few times I watched it, it didn't do it for me. But after rewatching it multiple times, I can say that I really like it. It seemed all over the place for me, but something just clicked. Amazing performance!
You had to watch it several times to like it? I watched this mimed performance once and am ready to move on. If something doesn’t appeal to you, that’s ok.
@@ah7910 wait, are you trying to say Ariana lip synced this? Cause yeah, that is not what happened.
The BEST Tony opening in recent memory by far!! Host every year!!!!
I noticed her since she was signing in 54 below with rockwell. I am just so proud of her and not totally surprised that she has becoming so successful these days. So proud!
There are people with talent and then there's Ariana DeBose, who seemingly can just do everything
Nobody will ever be able to do a better opening
Take that, Angela-Bassett-did-the-thing-haters! She is a star!
FINALLY! A version with the full round of applause! Sooooo satisfying! Sooooo amazing! Iconic! :)
Best opening number in years
Thank you, "Schmigadoon" for introducing me to this woman... 🥰
Best opening ever
This beats NPH's openings, and That's saying something!
I cannot stop watching this.
Beautiful performance!!! 🎉🎉🎉❤
Oh my god! This is the most inspiring performance, what an incredible woman, cast and fabulous writers!
I love how Lin is the first to stand
Now, this is a mash-up! It encapsulates the last 20-30 years of music experience for the upcoming generation. We older patrons/supporters/creators need to stop bitching and find ways to connect with them as it the only way we'll be able to pass on what we've learned. I hope we haven't blown it because we have so much to offer.
The only thing that upsets me about these Tony Award opening numbers is how the songs that the host were performing never have a studio version of it to be put in Spotify or iTunes. Can the Tony Award ask the host to do it so i can listen to it whenever i'm driving. I really want a studio version of this song and Neil Patrick Harris' Bigger
Thank you for posting this. I never saw the ending and damn.... when she hit the funny girl "people" high note I was like.... YASSSSSSSSSSSS
Thank you for posting! I was so sad it wasn't on RUclips
wow this is the best opening of tony awards ive seen. the original song is really good (with a hint of six)
THANK YOU for not only posting this, but your artistry in mashing up this EPIC opening number!
I was looking for the complete video for a while. It was really an amazing opening song for the Tony Awards.
what a masterpiece 😍
