James Vs Neil Patrick Harris 2020 Tony awards

i thought the tony awards went bankrupt or out of business or something because noone was/is interested in them.??? overall i thought the show was boring and i wanted my time back.

HI , not trying to hate but as someone with no musical talent or knowledge whatsoever his singing sounds kind of bad to me ? It sounds more like loud speaking imo...

Oh he smashed it this year. Brilliant.

5:50 they all have iPhones I didn’t notice the product placement.

Although the sentiment about the live theatre being better is true... for some of us we won't ever get to even get to a city where these shows are on, or never be able to afford tickets, so we'll literally never see any of these amazing shows unless shows start doing more official recordings.

ok boomer

Is it me, or are those female dancers incredibly sexy?

I can just imagine James Corden doing this entire opening number in his shower every night for a month before the ceremony.

BAHAHAHHAHA ALEX BRIGHTMAN

Always trying to 1 up Neil’s 2012 opening but no one can. Plus he didn’t take a photo with me when I asked him so fuck James.

KAY TRINIDAD IS SO TINY

James is live and alive and brilliant. Re-watching an amazing opening. Merci. Lili Kiki from France.

doesn't get old

Niel Patrick Harris is Way fucking better at This thing

i would pay for broadway prime

I screamed at the Bryan Cranston part 😂😂😂😂😂

2013 Opening was the best

He's come a long way since Gavin and Stacey.

Mango

James' openings are really better than Neil's.

Alex Brightman xD

He's pretty light on his feet for such a chubby guy

Really really nice.. I like James a lot and this opening is amazing. I have to be honest though, NPH, 2013 Tony awards opening is still my favorite :)

James you're fucking awesome dude. A true entertainer.

I can't... with Bryan Cranston had to go to the bathroom haha

I'm an easy person I see Alex brightman i click

Best Opening Awards Ever ! James is in another level.

sophie anne caruso is so tiny my BBY

His face at the end was simply amazing!! Ah... I know that feeling. Sure on the technical side, it’s a lil different... but the pay off it is more than the same. Putting on a show and listening to the cheers for the final bow, ah, so proud and so amazed by everyones hard work. I put on my last high school musical just a month ago, Fiddler On The Roof, and the final curtain call definitely was a tear jerker. Man, amazing job James. You did better than amazing!

That high note was amazing !

Holy Shit the amount of time that must’ve gone into this from James to remember every word at the perfect time & all the choreography. And then seeing him hold back those tears at the end as he got a standing ovation. So respectable! James deserves all he has now - such a great, hard working man.

I am sure that this is good, but nothing will beat NPH in my eyes.

Imagine if combines with Neil Patrick Harris. No doubt legendary

NPH's was better

It’s live beetlejuice cast comes on well now it’s dead

as much as I feel like James Corden takes over everywhere and I hate that this number is fabulous. I love the little Patti LuPone dig that made me chuckle

James Corden will always be the perfect host for the Tony awards. You can easily see how much passion he has for theatre

Why was Beetlejuice staring into my soul?

5:26 gives me goosebumps

That was a well deserved 50 second standing ovation. Yes.

Who is the male back up dancer behind james? The brunette guy he is hot. Looks like marky mark

8:17 gave me chills

Tony's are the best award show and best audience

Did James write this song? Melody and words?

5:27
Alex Brightman is staring right into my soul and I'm okay with that

when he said ass not arse but in an English accent lmao

„James, I think I‘m a bit more qualified to answer that question. I‘ve won a tony“
„I DID TOO! YOU WERE THE HOST WHEN I WON IT!“

WOW!! This guy is amazing!

You know it's not that good when no one wanted to stand up for an encore. Like a pity ovation. where's Neil when you need him?

I absolutely love this. This is one of the things I would of loved to watched in real life!!! James Corden you make us british lot proud!

😂😂😂😂

AUDRA MCDONALD MADE ME DO IT 😂😂😂😂

Fudge all his jokes I totally respect him because of this performance!

Yay...I saw Sara bareiles,🤩
