Jun 16, 2008 | Comments 0
The 62nd annual Tony Awards celebrates the best of the Broadway’s 2007-08 season. Whoopi Goldberg hosted the 8-11 PM portion of the ceremony, which was broadcast on CBS TV. The awards ceremony started around 7 PM with the presentation of the Creative Arts Awards, which honour behind-the-scenes show folk including the designers.
It’s said that the least surprising win of the night was Tracy Letts’ August: Osage County as Best Play. The playwright had already won the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for his layered comic drama.
The sex comedy Boeing-Boeing, a onetime Broadway flop from the 1960s, was embraced as Best Revival of a Play for the new production directed by Matthew Warchus. The revival was a recent hit in London.
Brazilian opera star Paulo Szot won Best Actor in a Musical for playing Frenchman Emile deBecque in South Pacific.
Jim Norton who was a veteran U.K. actor, who starred in McPherson’s The Weir in London and on Broadway, won the Tony for Best Featured Actor in a Play for his salty, earthy role as a blind, drunken older brother in McPherson’s The Seafarer.
