If Loving Neil Patrick Harris is Wrong, Then I Am the Wrongest Bitch Alive
June 9th, 2009
Neil Patrick Harris: Whether on the cover of Out or People, on the back of a unicorn, or on his own back via post-coital sitcom bliss, we love him unconditionally with our collective hearts and groins. But little did we know that this child actor cum late 90s joke cum amazing adult actor had the singing and dancing chops exhibited during last night’s Tony Awards, where Neil kept things moving with his lightning speed wit and charm. (For the sake of this post, let’s just assume he wrote that Bret Michaels’ “headbanging” joke on his own.)
And his voice! His voice. For those of you who Tivo’d the show like myself (i.e. Members of the Saddest People Around club), you might have missed NPH’s show closer, a catchy, geniusly-scripted song summarizing the entire show in a matter of a few minutes. If you missed the show, shame on you, but it is our pleasure to bring you that song here:
A special mention must be made to friend and Tony nominee Christopher Sieber, who KILLED IT last night as Lord Farquaad in the “What’s Up Dulac?” number from Shrek. I caught the show last week — it is THRILLING, though I went by myself. And nothing says “I’m a child molester” like going to catch Shrek the Musical alone. Congrats to Chris on both getting a special shout out from Neil in the above number, and for stealing every and all shows he is a part of. If you missed his performance last night, you can find a clip of it ahead.
PS: The real highlight of the show? “Thizh Izh Egzhgwizhit!” — Liza Minnelli
