Tony Likes "Boys"
This year, the Tony Awards are where the Boys are.
Broadway's top props were dominated by The History Boys, a dark comedy about high school kids in 1980s London during their final weeks of school, and Jersey Boys, the upbeat musical based on the lives of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.
History Boys was the drama to beat, scoring a whopping six trophies, including Best Play, Best Director (Nicholas Hytner), Best Actor (Richard Griffiths), Best Featured Actress (Frances de la Tour) and prizes for set and lighting design. Jersey Boys, meanwhile, score for Best Musical, as well as Best Actor in a Musical (John Lloyd Young), Best Featured Actor in a Musical (Christian Hoff) and Best Lighting for a Musical.
Jersey Boys came as something of an upset in the Best Musical race after the early portion of Sunday's ceremony was dominated by the year's most acclaimed new tuner, The Drowsy Chaperone, a play-within-a-play tale of a lovelorn Broadway starlet. The Canadian production had been angling to become the first production from the Great White North to score the top prize on the Great White Way. Overall, Drows Chaperone took home five trophies: Featured Actress in a Musical (Beth Leavel), Original Score, Book of a Musical, as well as Best Costume and Set Design in a Musical.
Harry Connick Jr.'s The Pajama Game scored for Best Revival of a Musical.
All this musical news worked out badly for Oprah Winfrey. Proving that the Queen of Daytime can't actually conquer every medium, her much-hyped The Color Purple went home with just one award, Lead Actress in a Musical (LaChanze), after being nominated 11 times.
All this didn't seem to phase Winfrey, who told reporters that she's contemplating a Broadway run herself. "It's always been a big dream of mine," she said.
Aside from Oprah, the 60th Tony Awards ceremony, broadcast live on CBS from Radio City Music Hall, did have a few other Hollywood-centric highlights, including a strong cast of all-star presenters that included Julia Roberts. The actress, who was not nominated for her critically panned Three Days of Rain, presented the Best Actor Award to History Boys' Griffiths. Sex in the City's Cynthia Nixon, meanwhile, scored Best Actress in a Play for her role in the family drama Rabbit Hole.
Here's a complete list of Tony Award winners as selected by 700-plus members of the theatrical profession and journalists:
