The 2009 Tony Awards: Highlights

Most Caffinated Actors Award

“Billy Elliot” ran the table with 10 awards, or 12 if you count all three Billies. Accepting their joint Tony for Best Musical Actor around 11 p.m., all three boys had the ragged look of young teens up jazzed up on endorphins and caffeine. They fidgeted, muttered and thanked their dance teachers in a display of adorability that should earn them time with any girl in the school cafeteria today. If any of the boys make it to school, that is—I imagine they were up partying with the fresh-cheeked cast of “Hair”, who earned the Tony for Best Musical Revival.
