The Tonys: Winners, Highlights And Upsets!
Neil Patrick Harris kicked off the 2013 Tony Awards with a musical medley to end all awards—complete with magic tricks, a chorus line and representatives from every musical on the Great White Way. This year the Tonys were a success: Funny as hell and 
far more entertaining that the Oscars, with humorous turns by Liam Neeson, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Jane Krakowski, Scarlet Johannson, Tom Hanks, Alan Cumming, Oliver Platt and more.
And we're not gone lie—we screamed out loud when Cyndi Lauper and Andrea Martin won. But what was up with Cicely Tyson's dress?
