35 Best Tony Awards Performances from Broadway Shows

If you like your musical numbers big, showy, silly and glitzy, then you've hit the jackpot, friends: They don't get much bigger, showier, sillier and glitzier than this Las Vegas–themed blowout from Golden Rainbow, a vehicle for married pop stars Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gormé that ran for nearly a year on Broadway in 1968. It wasn't nominated for Best Musical, but performed on the telecast anyhow. And this Tony number has it all (except Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gormé): Slot machines! Tambourines! Hand claps! Fake jazz trumpeters in tight green shirts! A showgirl on a flying cutout of a horse! A dead ringer for Chris Kattan's Mango! Future Gilmore Girls granny Carole Bishop working a long white boa! And, as a button, a final shout-out of the title of the show, in case you might have missed it: "Golden Rainbow!!!"
