60th Tony Awards

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 60th Annual Tony Awards took place at Radio City Music Hall on June 11, 2006. In the United States, CBS broadcast the awards live from 8pm to 11pm Eastern time. The opening number started with Harry Connick Jr. singing three popular songs from three Broadway musicals. Connick, (who was heavily medicated to be able to perform, because of a ruptured disc,[1]), was also a nominee and a performer with the cast of The Pajama Game. Everyone of the sixty presenters and co-hosts, including Julia Roberts, Eric McCormack, Ralph Fiennes, Cynthia Nixon, Oprah Winfrey, Bernadette Peters, Chita Rivera and others, joined the stage during the third song. Connick performed "Tonight" (West Side Story), "Give My Regards to Broadway" (George M!), and "There's No Business Like Show Business" (Annie Get Your Gun). [2]

Beginning with the 2006 awards, an additional category was added on a trial basis for the 2005-2006, 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 seasons: Best Recreation of a Leading Role by an Actor/Actress. This category was intended to honor actors and actresses who were cast as replacements and joined a long-running show after its official opening, and would not have otherwise had the chance to be recognized for a potentially Tony-worthy performance. This award may or may not have been given in any particular year. Shows were to submit replacements they deemed worthy of consideration and a twenty-four-member committee of Tony voters called The Tony Awards Administration Committee were to attend the shows and evaluate the performances.

No award was given in 2006, because neither of the two performers nominated, Jonathan Pryce and Harvey Fierstein, received the necessary sixteen votes for a win.

Following the 2006 Tony Awards, the Administration Committee voted unanimously to abandon the category.
