"The View"'s Whoopi Goldberg, a Tony Award-winner, hosted the occasion, which acknowledges the best and brightest performances on Broadway. She was joined onstage by Alec Baldwin, Kristin Chenoweth, Glenn Close, Richard Griffiths, Laura Linney, John Lithgow, Liza Minnelli, Mary-Louise Parker, Daniel Radcliffe, Brooke Shields and Marisa Tomei, among others.
"In the Heights," a rousing romp through Manhattan's Latino culture, won best musical, while "August: Osage County," the story of a troubled Oklahoma family, took home best play. "South Pacific," a musical about two couples living on an island in the shadow of WWII, was the big winner of the night, picking up seven awards total, including best revival musical, best actor in a musical (Paulo Szot) and best director of a musical (Bartlett Sher).
Mark Rylance got the best actor-play nod for his role in the airline comedy "Boeing, Beoing" (which also stars Gina Gershon and Mary McCormack), and "August"'s Deanna Dunagan won best actress-play honors. Patti LuPone was named best actress in a musical for "Gypsy."
