SO MANY GOOD TONY MOMENTS!

1. Darren Nichols and Terry the accountant win their first Tony! YAY S&A and Drowsy Chaperone!

2. Drowsy Chaperone performs, complete with sly Tony references.

3. Beth Leavel gives the world's cutest acceptance speech.

4. Emperor Palpatine wins a Tony.

5. Alan Cumming and Cyndi Lauper give HOT performance from Threepenny Opera, complete with gay.

6. Sara Ramirez and TR Knight present together and are adorable. (TR: Can I touch the envelope? Sara: No. TR: No.)

7. Wedding Singer has fantastic '80's HIGH ENERGY number.

8. Joe Pesci introduces the number from Jersey Boys with three original members of the Four Seasons.

9. The cast of Spamalot talks about the work that the American Theatre Wing does. Complete with Knights Who Say Ni.

10. Uncle Vernon wins a Tony and thanks his wife for not letting him quit the show. Hee.

11. Jake Lloyd Young wins Best Actor in a Musical and is ADORABLE.

And then the Tony voters went insane. And somehow the musicals that should have won, Sweeney Todd and Drowsy Chaperone, didn't take their categories in favour of Pajama Game and Jersey Boys. Weird...

Gah, I miss watching the Tonys! They aren't shown over here at all...but since I've been here for so long, it's not like I've actually seen anything up for awards. :-(

I can't believe that Sweeney Todd didn't win for best revival! I was completely shocked!!!

But how much do I want to fly to New York to see "The Drowsy Chaperone" now?

I have a friend in Jersey Boys, and I was shocked and THRILLED when they won. Mostly thrilled, but awfully shocked. They were, too - he says he cried like a baby.

Umm, not to mention Rod from Avenue Q swooning over Alan Cumming...like everyone else in the room.
My favorite moment was Joanna Gleason introducing Sweeney Todd:
"'The story of a half-mad barber' ... HALF?!?!"
