There's No Business Like Show Business! The Very Best Tony Award Performances

Let me start off by saying I am a HUGE awards show fan. I love nothing more than sitting back and watching some of my favourite people get the recognition they deserve...or not get what they rightfuly deserve. Awards shows bring with them an incredible wave of anticipation: "who will win?" "who will lose?" "who should have won?" "who said the best speech?" "Who was the best dressed?"

Each year, I wait eagerly for two BIG awards shows; The Academy Awards or Oscars and the Tony Awards. I love the Oscars because I LOVE movies and I love the Tonys because I LOVE musicals [imagine how I feel about movies that are musicals!]

Over the years, we have seen many great Tony shows with brilliant performances. Here is a collection of some of my favourite performances from some of the greatest shows on Broadway.

Enjoy!
