Here’s a short, fun piece that combines song, dance, group movement, witty lyrics, audience participation, and social commentary. Featuring Neil Patrick Harris, it’s from the 2011 Tony Awards celebrating Broadway Theatre. As I said when introducing the Gene Nelson post, musical comedy as a genre is usually too corny for my tastes, but I can still enjoy its many displays of robust physical comedy. I’ll be dipping into this well more in future posts, but meanwhile take it away, Mr. Harris!
