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.”
