Tony vignettes
Due to their silly parents Rio and Inés present the following vignettes of Tony nominees and winners...starting with,
Rio dressing up in an Olympian crown fit for the gods and wiggles to "All Over the World" from Xanadu. A kid-pleasing musical that had Inés jumping for glee when Clio alighted on her Pegasus.
Inés revisits her Puerto Rican roots with musical numbers from In the Heights. Yet we could mistake her for Mama Rose from Gypsy, perhaps. Which, btw, we are so happy Ms. Lupone was able to recycle one of her old speeches and tell the orchestra to shut up! A true Mama Rose at heart.
For the love of theater, Rio gives us his most heartfelt rendition of Cry Baby while the Pep consoles him. The "rockabilly prison number" ("A Little Upset") had Inés tapping her feet, coming through like a charm, for Rio.
