The best and most unexpectedly arousing segment from the 2009 Tony Awards (all of Liza's screen time notwithstanding)... weary television actress Stockard Channing and bright-eyed child Aaron Tveit attempt a forbidden seduction while performing a peculiar medley of "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered," from "Pal Joey," and "I'm Alive," from "Next to Normal," during the opening number. Please ignore the cowboy hat on the floor upstage center.

This clip is primarily noteworthy for being the only 70 consecutive seconds of the show without any glaring mishaps, though it happens to be framed precariously between two of the Broadway season's most egregious blunders: the now famous Bret Michaels set piece fail immediately before, and "Shrek the Musical" (a general fail) immediately following.

And btw, where was William Ivey Long's nomination for designing that stunning gown, that fur, and the rest of his fabulous costumes from Pal Joey? And then, to add insult to injury, the award goes to Shrek's sad sack collection of plastic bag Halloween outfits from Ricky's??? Biggest error of the night. Just sayin'.

  • does anybody know if there is a video of Stockard doing the full version of "Bewitched" anywhere on the internet. Its one of the most haunting broadway performances ever and I can't find it!

  • agreed. I've been looking, but I haven't seen any yet. I really want to hear her sing this again--I only saw the show once. So please post a link or something if you find anything!

  • fuck the cast of Shrek.

  • @KaraokeKid22 I posted a video of her singing the entire song :D

  • This was fantastic, Bret getting owned by the set just made it perfect.

  • "This clip is also noteworthy for being the only 70 consecutive seconds of the show without any glaring mishaps"...HAHAHA.

  • this is seriously my favorite video. the combination of the set disaster, hat, and overall awkward and strangeness of the duet makes me laugh.

  • Bret's hat on the floor makes me laugh!

  • mm that is true. i forgot about him. haha that was hilarious!

  • actually I think he's trying to figure out what to do about the fact that Bret Michaels is lying in a bloody heap just behind that backdrop.
