This is literally the greatest Tony opening of all time. They were working on it right up until the live show and never rehearsed it all the way through. It was MAGIC!
When you commented at the end that they were waiting for something , that is called "holding for applause" and this was one of the longest standing ovations ever (BWay historians can correct me if I'm wrong). Live performers usually wait for the applause to start to subside before continuing, but in this case, it just wouldn't stop!
NPH has been doing magic since he was a child. He is so freaking talented.
NPH is a huge magic aficionado and has often demonstrated simple magic tricks during talk show appearances. He did the classic "disappear from a closed box" trick here. He slipped out the back of the box but the contraption was designed in such a way that you couldn't see him come out from the audience. The real feat IMO was him having the enormous stamina to then run all the way to the back of the theater within a couple of minutes just in time for the tv cameras to pick him up. I can't imagine how many calories he burned off for that performance and what his lung capacity is.
And came out of the back of the theatre still singing!
A couple minutes? try 18 seconds! NPH is seriously amazing, in so many ways.
@@kevingreene1514And when he does the close-up, you can see that he didn't even break a sweat too!
It is 16 seconds in total. Must be 2 sec for disappearance and 2 sec for Prestige. So 14 seconds to run 75 meters? In show-clothes? HOW!?!?! (Bolt's World Record 200 meter dash 19,19 Sec.) Must be magic... Or as Mulders poster in X-Files: I Want to Believe.
Nobody does it like theatre people. The Tony Awards are the most entertaining show because its genuinely a love fest between people who respect and admire each other.
I have a bias on musicals and man I wish Neil would just host the Oscars every year so we can get this type of opening
Red bull...🕺🕺🕺🕺🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️
There’s a video of Neil Patrick Harris doing the closing credits for this Tony’s show that’s awesome. Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote the lyrics for it live
If NPH is presenting, it's going to be an absolute mind blowing balls to the wall banger of a show. That man does not slow down. He gives 150% start to finish. He is the GOAT when it comes to this. Dude has perfect comedic timing, is great as a villain a hero, anything. That man is a god damned national treasure.
It's now 2023 - 10 years later - and still stands as the best opening for any awards show ever. NPH is a one man multi-talented genius.
The man's not "just" an actor, a comedian, a singer, and a dancer. He's a freaking athlete. Unbelievable--and yes, I've watched this a couple dozen times. Never get tired of it. Has somebody mentioned that this little song was written by Tom Kitt and Lin-Manuel MIranda? (Okay, I just scrolled down and yes, they did. But it's worth saying again.)
They're a waiting at the end for the applause to die down. That's broadway 101: any time you do something funny or amazing you hold for the laughter or applause to end and then keep going. It's to make sure people in the audience don't miss something they're supposed to hear
Brilliant! There will never be a better opening to an awards show.
I heard this was written this way because the Tonys were moved away from Radio City Music Hall for a couple of years, and this was the first year back. So they wanted the “biggest” opening.
My favorite awards show opening.
So glad you reacted to this. It's my fave awards show opener ever. Definitely bigger! I'm in awe of NPH's breath control, stamina, speed (zipping all the way to the back of the theater however he managed it fr the back of that magic box). Also, jumping through a hoop in pants that tight? Wow! :) ;) Bravo! Always a delight to see this.
Most people think he goes out the back of the box but in this set up he goes down into the base of the box and slides into the stairs, which are rolled off stage as the box gets rolled to center stage. Alternatively, those hollow stairs can also be used like a hidden slide, allowing the performer to slide down inside the stairs and through a trapdoor into the floor, if the theatre is built to accommodate. But I'd guess they just rolled him off in the hollow stairs and he slips out the back side which is open.
My first year long contract as a dancer was in a magic show in Branson, MO and we did a version of this for our finale where each of us 6 dancers walked up the stairs and waved goodbye then entered a big metal triangle before it was hoisted into the air away from the base and collapsed on cue, revealing an empty pyramid. So in our show we had to slide through the stairs and a trapdoor into a dusty basement. Showbiz is super glamorous like that lol
Honestly, I'm amazed every time I watch this video. That man's talent seems to know no bounds.
fun fact: the only successful run of this number was the tony performance. they never successfully did it in rehearsal. Also, I think you missed it but in the beginning he does a 10 second quick change from fairly casual clothing into a full suit
Couldn't wait for you to do this! His stamina is amazing. Love it. Thanks for doing this one!
As a giant musical theater fan, it’s really fun to see you react to this!
This Tony video is my favorite video on TH-cam! Go back to it all the time!
Watching the awards would be so much fun! It's a great way to expose yourself to different musicals if you would be interested. They put a few different performances from the musicals that season into the awards show!
Geez! Why did it take you nearly a decade to catch up with what has to be the best Tony opening of all time? For the record, Neil and the show won the 2014 Emmy for Special Class Program, and Lin-Manuel Miranda and Tom Kitt won the Emmy for writing their ''Bigger'' musical tour de force.
Ive watched this opening like 100 times at least, i literally know all the words. lol I loved this reaction ty!
The first time I watched this, I was left speechless. When I found it online, I saw it like 4 times in a row. Since then, I've watched it every year like 5 times a year. I'm still impressed by it every time. And when he says, "We were that kid", I still get teary-eyed. By the way, the song was written by Tom Kitt and Lin-Manuel Miranda, which you can easily tell by the rap section.
I’d have been like “…Hey, Neil, they just said we never went live so you gotta do it all over.”
That really was BIGGER.
The Best! Thanks for this!!! This song was co-written by Lin Manuel Miranda (Hamilton) and Tom Kitt
I knew the moment I watched it live it would never be topped. A decade later I haven't been proven wrong yet.
i love this so much! i dont even know how many times i have watch this intro and it never fails to give me chills. so sad that i dont get to share it , `cause none of my friends like musical theatre!
I LOVE this opening! I actually memorized it so I could sing along in the car. NPH is just beyond. Thanks for the reaction.
this performance was my first and favorite tony awards opening. This performance is so incredibly special to me and I'm so happy I get to watch someone share that joy with me again. Thank you so much for reacting to it!
Neil Patrick Harris is extraordinary I had the pleasure to see him in Hedwig but to see him to this it is mind-boggling to me and yeah how do you get to the back of the theater and just like 30 seconds without being out of breath thank you for that because I always wondered and how did you memorize every one of those words in a short time that's a truly amazing actor!
Doogie Howser MD to this. A good evolution of NPH. Love this man!!!!
This is absolutely legen-wait for it- dary
Did you notice his little wink to the audience at the very beginning when he used the word ‘legendary’ in the song?
@@nancyt2848 yep lol
Have you seen any of Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog? It was published on TH-cam. You have to see the show and then see the commentary version.
The part where about getting a Tony on your first nomination sticks out to me, because Cindy Lauper won her Tony that night for Kinky Boots. Her first nomination.
I remember watching Neil Patrick Harris when he starred Doogie Howser, M.D. He is an amazing actor and singer. I was surprised I've never seen this performance before. Thank you!
Have you seen his Tony Awards performance from "Hedwig and the Angry Inch"? It's incredible!
You have to watch Ariana Debose opening the Tonys this year! She just won Best Supporting Actress at the Oscars for the Spielberg Remake of West Side Story where she played Anita. Just look up “This is your round of applause Tony’s 2022”! :)
not nearly as good as this when it comes to production value.
My all time favorite host opening is Neil and Hugh Jackman....it's awesome!!
That is a close second for me, but this ones is the GOAT in my mind! Go Neil, go!!
People have slept on this one for so long I'm SO happy to see you experiencing it!
Lin Miranda (into the Heights, Hamilton) wrote the opening number. BTW you will not see NPH leave the box -- camera angle makes sure of that.
He went under. Fine. But how bloody fast from there to there¡¡¡ A magician never tells.
Love your broadway reviews. I know I’m late to the party but one that comes to mind is La Cage Aux Folles - at the 2010 Tony awards
The Shia dig was because he had just been arrested at a broadway production of Cabaret just prior to the Tonys
I can absolutely tell Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote the lyrics. Genius.
The magic trick: when the box turns around, you can see it is cloth with a slit. He climbed out while they were turning the box/the girls were dancing and then ran to the back of the auditorium.
I've seen the magic trick explained elsewhere so I don't feel too bad spilling. It's all dark and hard to see but the steps he used to climb the box are hollow, he gets in the box and slides down the inside of the box off stage and the hauls ass to the back of the theater. At least that's how I've heard it explained
Yep. Most people think he goes out the back of the box but in this set up he goes down into the base of the box and slides into the stairs, which are rolled off stage as the box gets rolled to center stage.
This is one of my all time favorite openers. NPH is unmatched for a host.
Watch this often. Awesome opening. Hes great.
You should watch the Hamilton Tony performance next!
This is my fave Tony’s intro ❤️
On top of all the obvious talent NPH has, he is considered a world class magician. Really there is little he cannot do.
This was a fun reaction to a fun performance!
If you haven't seen it, another good Tony's(2014) performance from NPH(and ISN'T an opening) is in his titular(and award winning) role from Hedwig and the Angry Inch singing "Sugar Daddy". th-cam.com/video/uIaFn5lsLd8/w-d-xo.html
of course this was written by Lin-Manuel Miranda.. this is so amazing :)
I believe Lin Manuel-Miranda did the lyrics for the opening and closing numbers for the 2013 Tony awards
It wasn't "ambitious", it was Broadway. Broadway goes all out and stuns you!!
MAGIC: It is 16 seconds in total. Must be 2 sec for disappearance and 2 sec for Prestige. So 14 seconds to run 75 meters? In show-clothes? HOW!?!?! (Bolt's World Record 200 meter dash 19,19 Sec.) Must be magic... Or as Mulders poster in X-Files: I Want to Believe.
My best guess, the whole area was dark.. he went out the back.
Watch the 2012 opening by Neil, also insane
I think it was Shia LaBeouf and alec Baldwin had a play but they couldn't get along so it didn't happen. The magic box trix, if you look at the back of it when they twirl it around there's a slit and it flipped in the wind abit. I think he went out the back and just booked it down to the audiance.
Neil Patrick Harris did a fantastic job covering the Aerosmith song “Dream On” when he performed on the t.v. show “Glee”. In my opinion he sounds better than Steven Tyler on that song. I’d love for you to react to it.
Ha! I just said on another of your videos you should do this and you had. Silly me! Should have looked first. Great reaction vid!
Lin Manuel (Hamilton) wrote this
This introNeeds its own award
Are you looking at grammy performances too? If so, I suggest Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand singing You Don't Bring Me Flowers
His best work was playing Doogie Houser
You know who I feel bad for? Hugh Jackman, who hosted the Tonys the following year.... I mean how do you top that opening number? Hugh is talented for sure, but he didn't have a chance trying to follow this.
I also think James Corden's opening number to the 2016 Tony Awards was great (the year "Hamilton" was nominated):
th-cam.com/video/oIUiseFdiUQ/w-d-xo.html
Heres a couple of suggestions
th-cam.com/video/HBCFyrGf9KQ/w-d-xo.html that's another neil hosting video at the emmys.
th-cam.com/video/vd6V287TLQQ/w-d-xo.html that's a performance at the tonys from the play called Next To Normal.
Written by Lin Manuel Miranda so of course it's great.
