Tony Awards: Host Neil Patrick Harris: “I’m told that was the biggest and most expensive opening number in the history of the Tony Awards. That’s why I’m the host.” “She’s appearing on Broadway for the first time in 48 years. We can expect her back in 2055 in ‘Blithe Spirit.’ Here’s Jane Fonda.” “President Obama attended ‘Joe Turner’s Come and Gone,’ resulting in increased ticket sales. Take my advice. Cash in. Go presidential. I can see the marquees now: ‘Barack of Ages,’ ‘Phantom of the Oprah’ — she’s almost the president. ‘Obama Mia!’” [A dig at Jeremy Piven, who quit a lead role citing mercury poisoning from too much sushi] “This sushi is so good. If I ate it every day I could do show after show after show.” “Coming out for the second time this year, David Hyde Pierce.”
James Gandolfini came on right after a ‘Shrek’ number: “For the record, Shrek and I are no relation.” One minor winner: “Now I’ll have to admit to my parents that I don’t work in a bank.” Best Actor winner Geoffrey Rush: “I want to thank the Manhattan theater audiences for proving that French existential absurdist tragicomedy rocks!”
