2014 Tony Awards

Last night, host Hugh Jackman hopped through the audience, backstage, and out to the stage to open up the 68th annual Tony Awards from Radio City Music Hall. The show started out with a bang with a performance by Fantasia Barrinao, Patti Labelle, Gladys Knight, Dule Hill and the rest of the cast of After Midnight. We also got to enjoy snippets of Les Miserable, Aladdin, If/Then, Rocky, Cabaret, A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Violet, The Last Ship, Wicked, Beautiful, Bullets Over Broadway, and Finding Neverland.
I also enjoyed watching the actors hit the red carpet on cbs.com before the show. Here are my favorite looks of the night.

One of the first gown that I fell in love with was Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical winner Jessica Mueller. The sheer nude fabric really caught my eye.

I was overjoyed when Atlanta's own founder of True Colors Theater Kenny Leon won awards for Best Direction and Best Revival of a Play for A Raisin in the Sun. Anika Noni Rose is a member of the award winning cast. She looked beautiful in her leopard print one shoulder gown.

Idina Menzel belted out a great song from the play If/Then. Before that, she walked the red carpet in burgundy Zac Posen gown.

I haven't seen Judith Light in awhile. She looked great in her black lace dress by Randi Rahm Atelier.

Audra McDonald set a record by winning her sixth Tony award. She simply glowed in her red and white Escada floral gown holding her award.

Another one of my favorites was Maggie Gyllenhaal's white feather gown.

Jennifer Hudson closed out the show with her preview performance for Finding Neverland. I loved her silver sequined Kaufman Franco gown.

It was a great night of TV.
