Neil Patrick Harris Proves Again That He is A God at Hosting Things

So, everyone was watching the Tony Awards last night, right? Right??
OK, stop laughing.
For the rest of us awesome people who love the theater, we were treated to this amazing opening number by host Neil Patrick Harris, who kicked off his fourth Tonys hosting gig (and the return of the ceremony to Radio City Music Hall) by including virtually every musical that played on Broadway this past season.
Going from the pub stage of last year's Best Musical winner Once, there were drag queens from this year's Best Musical winner Kinky Boots, jabs at the Shia LeBeouf/Alec Baldwin backstage drama at the recently closed Orphans and at the exteme closeup/live singing of the Les Miserables film. There was the obligatory reference to new Broadway star Tom Hanks, magic tricks from Best Musical Revival Winner Pippin, and appearances by the staggering number of children appearing on Broadway this season.
Oh, and it also had Mike Tyson. Seriously.
And of course, Harris had to close out the show by musically recapping all of the night's winners, this time joined by five-time Tony winner Audra McDonald:
Broadway...it's the greatest.
