I also miss having the show in a Broadway theater. I put the blame on Rosie O'Donnell for that one. In the pass they would for example if the show was being broadcast from the Majestic they would do a tribute to musicals that played the Majestic.
I also remember when they played tribute to Sondheim, Herman & Kander/Ebb in the same year. Another year there was Coleman, Styne & Webber. They just don't do that anymore.
Or having real stars like Robert Preston, Mary Martin, Julie Andrews hosting or performing on the show
