| It was on several pbs stations yesterday. I especially liked the number from soft power near the end. And if your dvr recorded 2h30m, it’s actually only 90 minutes long. |

| It was fun to see Kelly Marie Tran and members of the Asian-American cast of ''Soft Power'' sing the show's stirring ''Democracy'' finale. I only wish the musical's leading man, Conrad Ricamora, had been there, too, but apparently he's busy doing some filming. The ''Soft Power'' ensemble closed the concert with ''Glory,'' the Oscar-winning anthem, joined by Common, who co-wrote it, and Joshua Henry. |

| Yes, the cast of "Soft Power" were amazing. I somehow had no idea that Kelly Marie Tran could sing, so that was a nice surprise. The ensemble closer with the cast and Joshua Henry's inspiring solos was also terrific. |

| Another favorite of mine: Darren Criss, who's half-Filipino, did a simple and sublime rendition of ''I Dreamed a Dream'' from ''Les Miz'' on guitar. | |

| You can watch it at PBS.org (see link). As I said in a thread way below, I especially loved Joshua Henry’s powerful performance of “A Change is Gonna Come.” | |
