Thanks to the Mavericks-Heat game (see here), the hardworking staff only caught the beginning and end of Sunday’s 65th Annual Tony Awards.
Which means we were lucky enough to see Neil Patrick Harris’s opening and closing numbers. (We missed the Hugh Jackman/Harris duet. But you don’t have to.)
We can’t find video of the fabulous opening number – “It’s Not Just For Gays Anymore” (transcript here)* – but we can point out that the first two awards went to Larry Kramer’s The Normal Heart.
Regardless, here’s the closing number, which features Harris – wait for it – rapping:
The New York Times helpfully provides a transcript.
Maybe next year Harris and Jackman could both host?
*UPDATE: You can see the opening number here, via Mediaite.
