So Darren Criss will also be there. I don't think he was mentioned in the articles about the event. I had been concerned that Abigail was going to sing the men's part also as she did on most videos. The combination of Abigail and Darren sounded fine to me.

Now that I know who performed with B & B at Elsie Fest, I note that Joshua Henry is mentioned in the Kennedy Center announcement at the start of this thread. So, It is possible that both "Burn for You" with Darren Criss and "Alone Together" with Joshua Henry will be performed,

I suspect that the entire song will be posted soon. This is the longest excerpt I could find:
Then there is this from Monday:
Had I known, I could have easily gone there (Washington Harbour in Georgetown).

Neither link about the Today Show works now. I guess that means it did not happen.

I guess that I can say this because no doubt they are gone, and in addition it is really just an educated guess. From the location of this Tik Tok video at the Georgetown waterfront by Washington Harbour, the fact that Emily seemed to indicate in it that they had not yet been at the Kennedy Center, and Abigail's post showing her wearing a hotel robe, they were probably staying at the Georgetown Ritz-Carlton, about a block from Washington Harbour on South Street.
