## Transcript

Broadway's brightest came together for the 68th Annual Tony Awards. Here are the must- see moments in just two minutes. Host Hugh Jackman kicked off the night with a cameo and bounce- filled opening sequence. Hey man, how are you? [ LAUGH ] [ MUSIC ] Abby Label, Fantasia Verino and Gladys Knight help Hugh wrap up that opening. [ MUSIC ] But that definitely wasn't the only musical number of the night. Come on! This is the Tony Awards. [ MUSIC ] The wickedly talented one and only. Idina Menzel. [ MUSIC ] Yes we're always cast away every step we take and my love, our life is over. [ MUSIC ] When we find the ships and never [ MUSIC ] Yes, that was Neil Patrick Harris giving a sort of lap dance to Orlando Bloom in his now Tony winning role as Hedwig in Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

A year ago I was hosting the Tony's, this is crazy pants. NPH wasn't the only TV star to take home a Tony. Bryan Pranceton won for best actor in a play. Oh, lordy. [ LAUGH ] And Audra McDonald made history winning her sixth Tony. That's the most wins ever, for an actress. [ NOISE ] [ INAUDIBLE ] Thank you. I wanna thank my mom and my dad, up in heaven for. For disobeying the doctor's orders and not medicating their hyperactive girl and finding out what she was into instead and pushing her into the theater. And what might just be the most must see moment? The music man got a 21st century update with some help from T.

I and LL Cool J. [ MUSIC ]. [ MUSIC ] Yep, that happened. Thanks for watching, I'm Brett Sanders.
