More Photos from the Tony Awards

A few days ago in this post I told you about my pal Nigel who went on a vacation trip to New York City with his lovely wife Judith last month.

They found themselves outside Radio City Music Hall where the stars of Broadway were gathering for the Tony Awards. Nigel took several photos, and he shared them with us - and now I have a few more he sent along to show you.



The first one shows the crowd of photographers and other press-type individuals who were there to cover the event. Pretty impressive for a show that just gets so-so ratings!

Of course, the Tonys are all about the stars, and here's one now. John Lithgow first became famous in movies like The World According to Garp, and has done TV shows like Third Rock from the Sun, but these days he seems to be spending most of his time on the Broadway stage. He's a terrific performer and a very funny guy.


Our final shot from Nigel shows a surprised-looking Lily Tomlin. She's another tremendous comedian and actor who we don't see often enough, if you ask me. Isn't it about time for an Edith Ann revival?

Nigel, thanks again for sharing your photos, you star-gazer, you!

Gosh, Nigel and Judith, two names that go together. Their names make them sound like they should be inhabiting a Park Ave. penthouse with martinis in hand, while they dance the night away to a ballad my Cole Porter.

Ha! He's going to love reading that! Especially since they live across the Atlantic, in a little place we call Great Britain. But you're right, Denise - they sound like they belong in a musical, don't they?
