Choreographer Kelly Devine received her second Tony Award nomination this year for making the people of Gander soar in Broadway's hit new musical Come From Away.


Kelly's first Tony nomination came for her work on the musical adaptation of Rocky in 2014. She choreographed the long-running hit Rock of Ages and the short-lived musical Doctor Zhivago. She served as associate choreographer on the Tony-winning musicals Jersey Boys and Memphis. Next, she will choreograph the new musicals Romy and Michele's High School Reunion and Escape to Margaritaville.

Scroll on as Kelly Devine shares with BroadwayBox her 10 all-time favorite Tony Awards night performances.

10. “Don't Break the Rules”, Catch Me IF You Can, 2011


What Jerry Mitchell did with Norbert Leo Butz is incredible in that number!

9. “Pinball Wizard/ See Me, Feel Me”, Tommy, 1993


Des McAnuff and Wayne Cilento were ahead of their time. The technical aspects of that performance are awesome.

8. “History Has Its Eyes on You/Yorktown”, Hamilton, 2016


Enough said!

7. “I Wanna Rock/Don’t Stop Believing”, Rock Of Ages, 2009


We were able to use the elevator and rise up out of the floor, and we had Liza!

6. “42nd Street/We’re in the Money”, 42nd Street, 2001


The sequence from their theater to the sidewalk to the subway to Radio City is spectacular!

5. “American in Paris Ballet/S’wonderful/I’ve Got Rhythm”, An American in Paris, 20015


Robbie and Leanne dancing together is just dreamy, and so is Christopher Wheeldon.

4. “Simply Irresistible”, Contact, 2000


Susan Stroman's story telling in "Simply Irresistible" with the girl in the yellow dress subtle and perfect.

3. “Steal Your Rock 'n' Roll“, Memphis, 2010


I think Sergio Trujillo and August Eriksmoen created one of the best dance breaks to date.

2. “Sing! Sing! Sing!”, Fosse , 1999


There are no words how that number makes me feel watching it.

1. "River of Dreams/Keeping the Faith/Only the Good Die Young", Movin' Out, 2003


The dancers are literally flying without wires...... breathtaking!
