2012 Tony Awards: Broadway's Big Night

Observations:

Neil Patrick Harris is the perfect host for the Tony Awards. It's great when you have a host who loves the theatre so much, and is funny, and can sing and dance. Not that past hosts didn't have those abilities, but Neil has all of these in spades. It's so perfect when he asks "What If Life Were More Like Theatre."



I really want to see Newsies.



It was hilarious to see Neil Patrick Harris come down on a rig upside down like Spider-Man, and then see Andrew Garfield's face in the audience. Andrew was nominated for a Tony for his performance as Biff in Death of a Salesman, and will play Peter Parker/Spider-Man in movie theaters.


Audra McDonald has such an incredible voice, and combine it with Norm Lewis in Porgy and Bess - what a treat!

The production number from Once was great.



Ricky Martin can dance.

The dancer from Godspell must have been over the moon to dance with Hugh Jackman. She's going to talk about that one for a long time.

Fun to see Hairspray live on a cruise ship. It's cool that Royal Caribbean has Broadway at Sea. I wonder how old the girl was who played Tracy. Certainly not in her teens or even early twenties.

I wish Bonnie & Clyde had been nominated for best musical because I really wanted to see a musical number from the show.

And just because: Ghost, the Musical:
