This is amazing. That you've uploaded all these awards shows. I taped the Tonys for years with a vcr. I hope these don't get removed by You Tube. This is such a public service. Bravo to you.
Scarlett O'HARA in the flesh with a BRITISH Accent!!!! YIKES!!! Thank You so much for this fantastic post. Elegance and manners missing in today's TONY'S. LOVE the Star Spangled Banner opening. WHY don't they do that anymore?
Great video but sadly it's missing the lead actor in a play, which Melvyn Douglas had won for The Best Man, I am a big fan of Mr. Douglas, really want to see him on the stage!
I know you haven't posted in so long but I just love your videos and think they're great, do you by chance, you think could post some before the 60s, that would be great
What an unbelievable line up of shows! We will never see this kind of greatness again. I worked with Milton Rosenstock in Carousel. He really knew his stuff. And don't these women look FABULOUS...Carol and Julie...divine!
Anne Bancroft's acceptance speech is identical to the one she would give (through her proxy Joan Crawford) when she won the Oscar for The Miracle Worker three years later.
I believe the Tonys were taped in the afternoon and WCBS aired it after the late local news. The 1961 award show had a note saying the Late Show would be seen after the Tonys.
Interesting that Anne Bancroft was the only winner who refused to go backstage after receiving her Tony-probably just not interested in speaking to the press-such a gorgeous, talented woman ❤️
Is there a higher resolution for the 1960 Tony Awards? My father is John Walters and would like to have this in as high of a resolution as possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Vesna, I have a snapshot of him at the ball afterwards, posing, oddly enough, with Melanie Griffith (ansmd another well known actress, perhaps Amy Irving but I can't recall for sure..)
I'm watching this on Sunday April 24, 2022, 62 years to the day of this original telecast, and just 2 days since the death of Robert Morse. To think the entertainment industry once held such national pride and respect they actually opened with the National Anthem. Now you get foul mouthed actors yelling obscenities at sitting presidents or actors physically assaulting presenters. How the world, and the Tonys, have changed.
Where did you get the video? I have a copy on DVD that's divided into two discs, and both of them have included a spoof of the MGM logo using a chihuahua. Does anyone else have that disc?
MissPoochSmooch, What year was it that the Tonys used Cagelles from La Cage aux Folles as the Tony escorts?? While the initial show was a real breakthrough, using women as Cagelles was really bogus -- the dancing was pretty lame, too. The first revival was pretty much perfect. The Cagelles were all males, which is correct for a Female Impersonator (FI) show. The dancing was out of this world and won the Tony for choreography -- the girls were doing so many "splits" that the men in the audience were all grimacing. The costumes were what you'd expect to see in a FI show, not pouffy ones to disguise male figures like the first show. I heard that the Cagelles (and their extras) had gigs all over New York doing events during most of the run of the revival, including one of the Tony shows.
The New York stage was one of the places in the arts where the blacklist did not really get a foothold. Anne Revere was blacklisted from TV for 10 years, films for 20. She was, indeed a communist, but eventually did return to some level of stardom.

well this has no risk of being removed because none of the plays were performed

I'm just in heaven watching all these moments I'd assumed were lost forever, just smoke and memories. Thank you so much for the Tony videos!
.. Great video! Please help this musical get an investor/ The songs are awesome >th-cam.com/video/cQUXUNLRTLY/w-d-xo.html
It is a true treat to witness these VINTAGE TONY AWARDS presentation!s.
This makes me so happy finding these telecasts. I was just telling someone about my autograph of Anne Revere.
Anne Revere? One of my favorite Academy Award Winners
This is so great seeing past Tony telecasts in its entirety on TH-cam. Broadway rules.
huge thx for al these vidss !!!!!
James Thurber… WOW! I designed the sets for A Thurber Carnival (and costumes) in high school in 1968. I won an award for my designs.
this is the greatest channel ever
.. Great video! Please help this musical get an investor/ The songs are awesome >th-cam.com/video/cQUXUNLRTLY/w-d-xo.html
Sadly, Oscar Hammerstein lived just four months after The Sound of Music received the award for Best Musical. He died in August, 1960.

Thank you. Loved Helen Hayes👍
Thank you for posting this. Love it!
Mary Martin just about floated towards the stage 😆
Thanks this was really good to see!!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you
Great video but sadly it's missing the lead actor in a play, which Melvyn Douglas had won for The Best Man, I am a big fan of Mr. Douglas, really want to see him on the stage!
First presenter: Christopher Plummer, the future film star of The Sound of Music, which would win Best Musical!
I know you haven't posted in so long but I just love your videos and think they're great, do you by chance, you think could post some before the 60s, that would be great
can you please uploaded 1962 and 1963....Thank you so much
Anyone for James Thurber here ???
I love you, Miss PoochSmooch!

Did anybody else find Anne Bancroft's acceptance speech weird?

anne bancroft's so beautiful
The amazing question was whether Channel 2 had to "bump the network" in order show the Tonys back then.
I believe the Tonys were taped in the afternoon and WCBS aired it after the late local news. The 1961 award show had a note saying the Late Show would be seen after the Tonys.

Not the only winner… As seen in this video, many winners didn’t go backstage…
Yes, we could tell Julie Newmar WAS NOT John Walters!
Was Eddie Albert the FIRST replacement for Robert Preston on Broadway in "The Music Man"?
I think Helen Hayes forgot to mention Geraldine Page who was nominated for Sweet Bird of Youth.
Is there a higher resolution for the 1960 Tony Awards? My father is John Walters and would like to have this in as high of a resolution as possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
what a legacy!
George Abbott lived for another 35 years after this!
I liked how Ray Bolger and Mary Martin kidded Mr. Abbott about his remark about getting onstage. "George, I did it with a hoop!"
He's on the 87th Tony show, his 100th birthday!
Vesna, I have a snapshot of him at the ball afterwards, posing, oddly enough, with Melanie Griffith (ansmd another well known actress, perhaps Amy Irving but I can't recall for sure..)
I think The Sound of Music is the only musical in history to win both Best Musical at the Tonys and Best Picture at the Oscars!
You mean chicago didnt win best musical in the 70s
@@iHeartsNostalgiaPit No, A Chorus Line did.
@@iHeartsNostalgiaPit Technically the revival did in '96. So it won both.Oliver! won both too.

PoochSmooch, you've done it again! 1960? Gee...
"How can you buck a nun?"--Ethel Merman
I wonder how Elia Kazan was regarded in 1960. I wonder if he was avoided some (if he was there) by the Broadway Gang?

OMG National Anthem before....every county should. It's called gratitude.
Notice how Patty Duke wasn't even nominated.
do you have 1966? that when lion in the winter was on Broadway.
22:34 for James Thurber
Ray Bolger, hilarious.
Was this televised or on the radio prior to 1960?
WOW!
Johnny Walters was my grandpa

Best Actor in a Play is missing??

Great opening, now lost.

James Thurber
man what a different time the best musical Tony was announced early...wait a minute, Larry Hagman is the son of Rogers or Hammerstein?!
Neither he is the son Mary Martin
@@richardbullis6263 oh okay (I don't know why I didn't get a notification for your response youtube is so strange sometimes)
yay Julie newmar
Wow..Ethel Merman lost for Gypsy!
Ethel explained it best: "You can't buck a nun." And I liked how Jackie Gleason and Mary Martin kidded George Abbott.

Ray Bolger was hilarious!
I think Eddie Albert had helped himself too much to the backstage open bar! That was some scrambled stuff coming out of his mouth.
