Tony Awards #9

We're back, with about 45 minutes left. My pal ANgela will be glad she skipped the last half of the Tonys - she wanted to see Neil Patrick Harris, and he's been largely absent.

Gina Gershon brags about the great season Broadway had. (Really?) She intros a number from the touring show of Legally Blonde. Good stuff.

Harvey Fierstein walks out to present the Best Revival of a Play. The winner: The Norman Conquests. Ah, the whole cast and crew runs up on the stage.

Now, the Best Play award. The winner: God of Carnage. Ah, here comes another crowd. Harvey keeps muttering things to people, but I can't make out what he's saying. It's probably very funny. Nice acceptance speech.

Commercial!
