Loved the Tony's this year! My little guy even got into them with the whole Shrek piece. Love Neil Patrick Harris too!

That had to be a blast, singing to "Let the sunshine in " - It's such an upbeat song! Glad you had such a great time.

Wish we were there as we are huge theater fans as well. How does one get in to the rehearsal? Is it by invitation only?

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the post, Mel! If you hear a squeal of delight, that is I from over here on the Left Coast. Angela Lansbury is the absolute best. I was privileged to see her in both "Mame" and "Sweeney Todd" a few decades ago. Thanks again for sharing your experience with us!

Ever since How I Met Your Mother and Dr. Horrible, my love for Neil Patrick Harris is true and unyielding. What fun to see him live!

How fun! I enjoyed watching the Tony awards on TV on Sunday night -- can't even imagine how great it must have been to see the dress rehearsal live. I just love Broadway!

Oh wow!!!

I am in New York in a month's time and tossing up whether to see Hair on Broadway. I think you've encouraged me to go and see it....

Great fun. A dear friend goes to the Academy Awards dress rehearsal every year and has a blast. But I think that the music and dancing are much, much better at the Tony Awards!

What a fun thing to do! We enjoyed watching from home Sunday evening, but my cousin was there as he works on Billy Elliot.
