TONY AWARDS 2012
American Theatre Wing
66th Annual Antoinette Perry
"Tony" Awards
Live from the Beacon Theatre in New York
CBS Sunday, June 10, 2012 at 8 p.m. ET.
Neil Patrick Harris host
Audra McDonald and Hugh Jackman had the most affecting acceptance speeches. Porgy and Bess had the best production number.
Clybourne Park (Play) Once (Musical) Death of a Salesman (Revival) and Porgy and Bess (Musical Revival) were among the top winners. James Corden beating out a bunch of superstars was the big surprise. (He was funny in his little demo-scene from One Man, Two Govnors.)
Neil Patrick Harris was a downer as host. His opening number was a tribute to the falsity and fake happiness that is in fact the worst, not the best, of Broadway. The rest of his hosting was flat.
A. R. T. The American Repertory Theater at Harvard, run by Diane Paulus was a big winner, with 10 nominations and two wins (Revival and Musical Actress) for Porgy and Bess; and, additionally, Once was workshopped at A. R. T. on the way to Broadway.
