With a little help from musical theatre historian Margaret Hall, I combed through every single musical theatre reference in 2022's Tony Awards Show Opening Number! Not only did Ariana DeBose brilliantly perform this whirlwind of an opener, but it was also brilliantly composed and constructed by a dream team! Find out how the creators packed so many Easter eggs into this one song, and see how many of the 50+ shows and songs you recognize!
