The show was hosted by everybody’s favorite Neil Patrick Harris who also performed a couple of times, but the highlight of the show was Daniel Radcliff’s performance for ‘HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING’.

Hugh Jackman who has already been a host for the TONY’S comfortably gave a friendly nack to the Neil Patrick Harris by performing with him on the stage on the satirical ‘not just for gays anymore’. A night worth remembering , gave a theatrical treat to all the Broadway fans. The red carpet saw some of the most elegant designs worn by the crème de la crème of the acting world. From J Medel to Eliee Saab all worked their heads of make their clients look dramatically beautiful but according to me Catherine Zeta Jones stole the show in a rich thick embroidered red , back less gown, she looked shimmering worth a million stars at the red carpet. Ellin Barkin and the evergreen Brooke Shield who are considered to be care free when it comes to fashion also looked great. Judith Alexander and Tammy Blanchard proved that great efforts result in success as they looked perfectly suited for the occasion. Over all a great show of theatrics and fashion , packed with all the spices to capture a billion audience around the globe .
