It's true. It's true, there's like 150 of those punks. Oh wait, oh wait, check this out. Can I have my Tom Hooper 'Les Miz' closeup please? See, on Broadway we don't need extreme closeups to prove we're singing live. We sing live eight shows a week. Check it!

At the end of the day we are gathered together to honor the best and the brightest

And tomorrow the fashion police will report on your dress and who wore it the tightest

If you win, have the time of your life

Tell your manager, dad, and your mom, "Thanks."

Say hi to your kids and your husband or wife

Maybe just for the hell of it, Tom Hanks!

Nothing is bigger and better than seeing a veteran get an ovation or seeing a brilliant beginner freak out on a win on their first nomination

There's a kid in the middle of nowhere who's sitting there, living for Tony performances singin' and flippin' along with the Pippins and Wickeds and Kinkys, Matildas and Mormonses

So we might reassure that kid and do something to spur that kid

'Cause I promise you all of us up here tonight

We were that kid and now we're bigger

(It's bigger)

Tonight it's bigger (Tonight it's bigger)

So let's create the biggest spectacle we know!

Come see the super sexy Cinderella sisters celebrating

Ladies grab a fella, the tempo is accelerating

Spidey, Pippin, Motown, Phantom, Kinky, Rock of Ages

Chicago, Bring it On, A Christmas Story sharing stages

Mamma Mia, Lion King, The Jersey Boys are tappin'

Kathie Lee's a Broadway lyricist, so anything can happen

Bigger!

New York is bigger!

So welcome to our bigger better

Best of Broadway Tony Show!
