Wow. 2008 is starting to feel like a long time ago now, and yet Harry Potter...gah. Always running into a reference.

Makes my poor lil Potter-fan heartache all the more pervasive.

[oneworldguy]

The video with Whoopi Goldberg doing the Phantom of the Opera is gone!!! Where did it go?

[cheesymelvin33]

Does anyone understand what Mark Rylance's speech is about? (@ 5:12)

Can someone explain it? It's funny - I just don't understand why he's saying it :P

[ZelphKinderhook]

@cheesymelvin33

he did the same thing this year... must be a thing of his.

[IronMaiden2924]

@ZelphKinderhook @cheesymelvin33 It's a poem by Louis Jenkins and this year he recited another Jenkins poem when he won.

[chocolatecity1974]

Tonyyyyyyyyyy! LOL

[McGarvinStudios]

Dumbledore at the Tony's? That's the second muggle thing he likes; the first one was lemondrops.

[TheMurphcat]

@McGarvinStudios Not Dumbledore, Uncle Vernon. But yes, if it was Dumbledore he would be very happy and share his lemondrops with Lin-Manuel Miranda.

[McGarvinStudios]

@TheMurphcat Well either, way, the two look quite dapper in their muggle disguises!

I love Whoopi Goldberg. She is so funny.

[LatinDancer1990]

i absolutely love Whoopi Goldberg, she's a legend!

[Jackinthehizzle]

Wow. None of this is funny. Usually, the rule is, the more they cut to the audience laughing, the less funny it is.

[WickedLover008]

i love the Kristin Chenoweth part! hahaha!

[rickyp2b]

Whoopi as Mary Poppins reminds of Tracey Jordan from 30 Rock :P

[suziepoo94]

i really wish she was my mother.

[1989DaVinci]

you don't even know her as a person, just what she's like doing her work. your wish is crazy and hurtful to your own mother. this is the voice of reason talking to you.

[phantomlover1000]

[aarbear83fierce]

i think its bs for the tonys to play the music to the great Patti she deserves to say every word

[rubino83]

<3 6:27. Everyone at home had the same expression by that point, but the Tony Jumbotron has preserved it for posterity;.

[Eponine05]

[CosmicDancer589]

@AdamEfimoff It's a prose poem by Louis Jenkins. It's called "The Back Country"

[CantStayAway]

...The first part seems kind of ironic, since she was one of the voices in the Lion King movie.:P

What did Patti LuPone win for?

[hrauthor87]

She won for 'Gypsy,' in which she played 'Rose' and won her second Tony. She won her first for 'Evita' as 'Eva Peron'

[hpdramareader91]

Speeches at the Tony's make less sense than Oscar speeches.

[gerryfan101]

All these were really funny but I prefered the Phantom of the Opera spoof with John Cudia as the Phantom I loved it!!!

[kissmemwah111]

the best one is daniel :P

haha too cute!

LOVE WHOOPI!!!!!!!!:p

[silverlyra]

There was quite the delay after the joke. Daniel laughed then 5 sec the other people did. it was quite funny.

[TheQueenofBroadway]

Will there be a video of funniest moments of the 2009 Tony Awards? I mean it wasn't as funny as last year but there were some good ones!

[iBroadwayBlonde]

I can make one. Do you have any moments that you'd like to see?

[TheQueenofBroadway]

probably some of the funny Neil Patrick Harris stuff and the part that was after the Shrek performance when that short bald guy, I can't remember who it was, but he said Just so you know, Shrek and I are not related! stuff like that.

[iBroadwayBlonde]

I promise that I'm trying, but my editor keeps messing up and freezing. It's frustrating! I'll keep trying, though.

[CitzenVain714]

a chorus line of whoopi goldbergs led by Mario Lopez....that a whole bunch of wrong.....

[duke68012]

Can anyone tell is the Tony Awards shown on British Television?

[tennisace90]

I LOVE LIN MANUEL MIRANDA!!!!!!!!!!!

[megrat06]

i don't think we have to really worry about dan because he seems to be doing fine with indie movies and also equus (which was awesome btw!) i do worry about emma and rupert though because i haven't really heard anything about new projects for them, but i did hear that emma is going to yale after HP

[Sokushitsu]

I saw Rupert in a movie with I THINK Helen Mirren (I can't remember) called "Driving Lessons" he plays a very monotone displaced character rebelling against his hyper mother--

[tirayi]

Julie Walters

[Sokushitsu]

Thanks! That's right. :) Good movie.

[megrat06]

"as if by magic!" ahahahah!!!! daniel can't escape it!

[Bibifly]

Yes! I really love HP and Dan but it's good if Dan, Emma and Rup can finallly escape they roles and also can proove their talent as actors in other movies!

[Broadwayboy12345]

One of the best hosts!

[singerbt]

[Broadwayboy12345]
