Once again Neil Patrick Harris showed all the other hosts how to open an awards show with the opening number he had tonight for The Tony Awards! No one does it better than him and that fact that he kept that momentum up for 7 minutes is absolutely incredible. Way to go NPH!
Plus he had every show that is playing/ed on the Great White Way this past year be part of it.
And my favorite part was when his dissed the Les Miz movie because it’s true. Gotta love Broadway where the actors sing live 8 days a week and they don’t need a closeup to prove it.
UPDATE: The show was more than just the opening number, here is Andrew Rannells, Megan Hilty and Laura Benanti singing about their cancelled shows. Remember The New Normal, Smash, Go On and The Playboy Club? I do and I miss them too.
And here is a cute moment between NPH and Annie’s Sandy!
Finally this is how the Tonys ended with NPH and Audra McDonald wrapping up the wonderful show to the music of Alicia Keys Empire State of Mind.
