Only 20 minutes to go and three big awards! One great thing about the Tonys - they always end on time.
Another classic Tony moment. Madonna, looking like she's about 18 years old, says she's being punished for not showing up at rehearsal. Wha?
Whoopi introduces a performance by the cast of Rent, which closes this year. The present cast kicks it off, and then most of the original cast reunites on stage - including Idina Menzel! Excellent, a wonderful tribute to the show and its creator.
Liza Manelli presents the award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical. Why is Stew wearing a fake nose? Anything for a laugh. The winner: Paulo Szot, South Pacific.
David Hyde-Pierce presents the award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical. The winner: Patti LuPone. Now here's a peppy acceptance. She says it's great to get a Tony every 30 years. They're trying to play her off, but she refuses to go. Awesome!
Cut to Whoopi in A Chorus Line - in fact, they're all her (except for the guy in front). Eh.
Break!
