Tony Yazbeck Lets New York, New York Know He's Feeling 'Lucky To Be Me' | ON THE TOWN

Tony Awards nominee Tony Yazbeck is "thunderstruck at the change in his luck," and we want everyone in New York, New York to know it!

Tony Yazbeck is simply unbeatable in this valentine to New York City, as it was one spring day several years ago. It is a wistful glance backward at a New York that no longer exists. No crowds on the streets, no hugging or dancing with strangers, no riding the subway without fear. Or so I imagine. One looks at this vision of New York and can only hope NY will recover when the vaccine is universal. But such a heartfelt evocation of springtime in New York, one fine day long ago. Tony exudes warmth and sincerity.

I am not a theatre person in the slightest but man can Tony sing and dance. Born with two left feet and the voice of a mule in heat, I could only wish to have the talents that he has.

This song, so New York, is perfect for Tony Yazbeck. Tony Yazbeck is a creature of New York.

I love all of the people that are looking at him in each scene. Only in a few scenes there aren't any people at all.

Heaven on earth - the entire cast and production of this On the Town. Than k you to all concerned for giving us this beautiful gift to Broadway. I was so happy to see it. Run to see this one. Dancing extraordinaire, costumes wonderful in the highest, cast all great - funny. This is the On the Town I have been dreaming of and waiting for all my life.

Other than the zombies on their phones giving him a stank eye, the reactions are priceless.

Tony Yazbeck was born in the wrong era. In the Golden Age of Hollywood he would have been a mega star, singing and dancing in Technicolor MGM musicals. He could have given Gene Kelly a run for his money.

Wow, I am dazzled by Tony Yazbeck, INCREDIBLE, a perfect Broadway fit, it is making me want to book tkts for the On The Town from someone who's not necessarily a Brdwy girl (but i do luv this musical).  You should have a Tony, Tony. This is the first time i looked to re-input the video just to see the ad promo again, FANTASTIC JOB TONY, don't know why all those people were  shy with u, almost all the places in vid were places i frequent.

Saw this when it was playing in New York. Megan Fairchild played Ivy Smith.

Someone should mention that Lucky to be Me was composed by Leonard Bernstein.
