2008 Tony Awards Handed Out in New York

Andy Towle June 16, 2008

Lupone

Rodgers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific and August: Osage County took home the highest number of awards at last night’s Tonys while Lin Manuel Miranda’s In the Heights took the honors for Best Musical. Patti Lupone delivered a performance from Gypsy that brought the house down and also took home the Leading Actress in a Musical trophy.

If you missed Josh & Josh’s Towleroad interview with Lin Manuel Miranda, creator of In the Heights, you can read it here.

Check out the full list of winners, plus Lupone’s performance and In the Heights, South Pacific, Rent, and Xanadu, AFTER THE JUMP…
