I remember my ex and I laughing at the time when Bret fell because we thought he had missed his cue to exit the stage, and it just looked funny on TV. Of course, I felt terrible afterward when I learned that he’d been seriously injured. 🙁
why don't we have tony award openings like this one anymore where everyone can go onstage and sing and have a big dance party with all the nominated shows?
and it's because "Hair" has a part at the end of the show when everyone is invited onstage to dance and they have a dance party at the end of every show. so they had the casts of the shows come join them onstage instead of the audience. that's why.
Thank you for posting. I was there in the 3rd balcony and in the last row. It cost me $260.00 and it was my first of 3 times at the Tonys but what memories.....and Dolly and Liza and Stockard Channing and everybody was onstage . I had to wear a tux and blend in but I was just and average joe who bought a ticket on Ticketmaster the day they went on sale. And I lived in Manhattan..... What glorious memories I have......of my times there in New York
YESSSSSS! Marcia Gay Harden! What a performance, what an actress, what a talent! A great play heightened by a superb cast! Loved this play and love love love this actress. Thank you Theatre Wing for the recognition given to this wonderful play! Smile Always :-)
well let's be fair the EXACT same thing happened with Disney's Beauty and the Beast on Broadway, the critics didn't really like it and it only won for the costumes....except Shrek didn't' have the staying power (must have been the Shrek fatigue that hurt it)
The duet with Stockard Channing and Aaron Tveit was so, so strange. Like, why? Lol it was just confusing and hard to enjoy any one part, which is a shame bc really I just wanted to hear Aaron belt out "I'm Alive."
the world loves angela...... billy elliott forever!.....oy: rok of ages.... but yay Hair !!!....aaron T : yes !.....r. esparza : the best.... harvey ?.....will swenson l!!!!....oh......kristen.....JERSEY BOYS FOREVER
Big, fat, tears of happiness, the only way I can celebrate Dame Angela, whom I admire and adore since she scared me (and Mummy) to death in "The Manchurian Candidate". Mummy was a devoted fan, and watching Angela gave her comfort and much, much pleasure during her illness! Happy to see the respect and affection laid at her feet by her peers!!! Thank you 😇🤗🎭
The show where Bret Michaels got seriously injured by a setpiece, after his performance with the cast of "Rock of Ages" (love that movie!) It also led to his brain hemorrhage that nearly killed him a year later, as well as a lawsuit between the Tony Awards and CBS
I do. I have complete telecasts for every year it has been televised! However, the years 1984-2004 are all on video so I have to convert to digital. It's a pending project but my partner is hoping to work on our UA-cam channel in the coming months, so stay tuned. I have a LOT of theatre related videos...much that has not surfaced here yet. Message me privately and I will see what I can do to get that 2004 done sooner
silvia grassi I am pretty sure that was the year Jeremy Piven dropped out of David Mamet's "Speed-the-Plow" with the explanation of mercury poisoning from too much sushi. www.playbill.com/news/article/jeremy-piven-abruptly-departs-broadways-speed-the-plow-butz-steps-in-156226
The technical staff for audio/sound should be shot! They all were asleep at the switch. All those talented actors put in jeopardy by these technical sound technicians who royally screwed up! The sound out of sync, the scratching audio, and sporadic sound quality was sorely missed.
Well God Bless MissPoochSmooch - it looks like she has beaten me to the punch and gotten most if not all of those recent 30 years of Tony telecasts up here...amazing. My computer has had so many issues and problems I have yet to get my VHS and DVDs converted to digital. Looks like 2010 is here ua-cam.com/video/d5YUhlHRF7o/v-deo.html

The sound tech must've been so busted after the show lol
Hezekiah Pabico Brett Michaels head too.

IN THE OPENING WHEN THEY ALL SING TOGETHER I LITERALLY CRIED MY EYES OUT OMFG

Michaela Hewitt-Clarke because unlistenable busy crap
and it's because "Hair" has a part at the end of the show when everyone is invited onstage to dance and they have a dance party at the end of every show. so they had the casts of the shows come join them onstage instead of the audience. that's why.
they kind of did at the 2004 Tony's
@@kennethdesmondmosley1075 if you don’t like brodway that’s fine but you don’t have to be rude about it just don’t watch any Broadway shows
simple!!..no one watches the AWFUL DEI, #BLM, WOKE garbage anymore!! 🥱🙄🤮😩💣👎

Awesome! I would have loved to be there!
2009 was a year of sweeps. Billy Elliot swept the Tonys, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss swept the Grammys, and Slumdog Millionaire swept the Oscars.
None of those was a sweep. Sweeps don't happen in arts competitions. Aces, maybe, but not sweeps. Even Hamilton didn't sweep the Tonys.
Billy Elliot won best musical but Next to Normal won the Pulitzer Prize so....
YESSSSSS! Marcia Gay Harden! What a performance, what an actress, what a talent! A great play heightened by a superb cast! Loved this play and love love love this actress. Thank you Theatre Wing for the recognition given to this wonderful play! Smile Always :-)
I think Next to Normal should have won best musical. Who agrees?
I agree!!
Can't compete with Billy Elliot
100%
I agree as it won the Pulitzer as was very unique at the time.
Cant beat billy elliot!
Liza, Dolly, and Elton John what a opening.
2:06:44 that might be the greatest award speech ever!! So humble. So real. AND THEY THANKED THEIR TEACHERS!
I'm glad "Shrek" wasn't completely snubbed. It won for the costumes.
well let's be fair the EXACT same thing happened with Disney's Beauty and the Beast on Broadway, the critics didn't really like it and it only won for the costumes....except Shrek didn't' have the staying power (must have been the Shrek fatigue that hurt it)

well that was an interesting duet with Aaron
This program won 2 Emmy Awards for Outstanding Special Class Programs and Outstanding Writing for a Variety, Music or Comedy Special.
Beyond me how Aaron wasn’t nominated for best featured actor
I still don't and won't ever understand that!
2020 is Aaron’s year bet on it. Moulin Rouge and Jagged Little Pill will sweep
6:14 one of my favorite musicals

Really a spectacular Show from start to finish! I love Broadway - GOD! What COVID has done to it!
Karen Olivo’s Anita was absolutely amazing
Bravo Billy!!!!
OBB-SESSSSSED with Raúl during that opening number.
The show where Bret Michaels got seriously injured by a setpiece, after his performance with the cast of "Rock of Ages" (love that movie!) It also led to his brain hemorrhage that nearly killed him a year later, as well as a lawsuit between the Tony Awards and CBS
Brava Billy!
Scott Denny. Because I love Jane Fonda! The great embrace.
Excuse me?! You’re obviously great on TV but you were Mark in RENT ‘97-8 and Broadway original cast for Assassins. That’s more than enough to qualify
technically the production of assassins he was in was a revival,
Do you have the complete 2004 broadcast?
I do. I have complete telecasts for every year it has been televised! However, the years 1984-2004 are all on video so I have to convert to digital. It's a pending project but my partner is hoping to work on our UA-cam channel in the coming months, so stay tuned. I have a LOT of theatre related videos...much that has not surfaced here yet.

Halle Foote guest starred on Murder She Wrote several times. Interesting she and Angela were nominated in the same category.

Can someone explain me the sushi jokes at 1:18:53? Thanks.

Danielle Belisle Thanks for your reply. Now I understand,
how did you know it used to be called the Antoinette Perry Awards? does it say that in the history of it somewhere?
That is the name of the award. “Tony “was her nickname. Tony Randall would joke that it was named after him.
The technical staff for audio/sound should be shot! They all were asleep at the switch. All those talented actors put in jeopardy by these technical sound technicians who royally screwed up! The sound out of sync, the scratching audio, and sporadic sound quality was sorely missed.
When did they present Best Book of a Musical?
I'm really upset that Shrek the musical only got one Tony that night.
I think in any other year, Sutton would have won, but Alice Ripley was just a force of nature in Next to Normal; no way she wasn’t getting that Tony!
The audio is so muffled
so how many tech guys got fired after this.
I came here just to see Trent in Billy Elliot.
i cant find 2010 complete :(

It's kind of unfortunate that they only nominated title of show for best book and it didn't even win
whens the jersey boys???
Jersey Boys was in 2006
How about Hamilton
Messy messy.messy!
