David will miss O2 show to attend Tonys

David will not be performing with Bon Jovi at the O2 on 13th June so that he can attend the Tony Awards, for which he was nominated in 2 categories. “It will be the first show I’ve ever missed since I was 16 years old playing with Jon [Bon Jovi],” David said, “I’ve never missed a show. When my father passed away, I waited two days to bury him ‘cause I had two shows to do. And he would have understood that, ‘cause he was a musician, too.”
The 64th Annual Tony Awards ceremony will be shown live on CBS on June 13th (8-11 p.m. ET).

David talks about Tony nominations

David spoke to Broadwayworld.com about his Tony nominations:

"It's a good morning. It's unbelievable, it was great to watch the TV and on the computer -- I watched the TV and then switched over to the computer. It's amazing that they just show you three categories and then they go back to the rest of the news.

The first call that I got was from Sergio Trujillo congratulating me, and then the first one I called was Joe DiPetro. For us to go from our minds to paper to a small theatre and then from a small theatre to take this thing all the way to Broadway with a full production, great design team -- it's just great man, it's great to get recognized. It's also great to see that we have entertainment that can also teach and that's just great!"
