Here you will find companion content to Chapter 1: “We Dance.”

In this opening chapter we start out at the 72nd annual Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall. But before we go to the pictures at the Tonys, I wanted to share this YouTube video of “Mama Will Provide”…enjoy!

We never expected to be at the Tony Awards especially as co-producers of a Broadway musical. Everything about this evening was magical!

Read Below for Lyric Challenge!!!

In the original version of One Year on Broadway, I began each chapter with a carefully selected quote from different musicals that fit with the theme of each chapter. Each of these musicals had touched our hearts through our journey and this was my way to pay tribute to them. They lyrical quotes didn’t make it to the final version of the book but I am including the links to these songs in this “Photos, Videos, Links” section. I want to give you a little challenge. After reading each chapter, click on the corresponding chapter link, listen to the song I provide, and see if you can figure out which lyric I chose to express the mood and comment in the comment box. If you get it right I’ll send you some One Year on Broadway swag!

For Chapter 1, I chose a lyric from “Life Support”-Rent by Jonathon Larson; Apple Music or Spotify below.

Listen and see if you can figure out which lyric I chose to go with Chapter 1
