[JOSH & SARA]
So it begins
These are the Tonys
A theater tournament
Find out who wins
Who gets to go home
With that glorious ornament
We are your hosts
And we're perfectly suited to be
Because, did you know?
Neither one of us has ever won anything
[JOSH, spoken]
That can't be right, Sara, no. No Grammys for you? Really? No?
[SARA, spoken]
No, no, nothing, nothing. You know, and I'm shocked for you.
[JOSH, spoken]
Yeah, well, you know. It is what it is.
[JOSH & SARA, spoken]
Anyway...
(sung)
So let's take a moment for all of us
Before all our winners shine bright
Lest you forget about ninety percent of us
Leave empty-handed tonight
Oooh...
So this is for the people who lose
'Cause both of us have been in your shoes
Oooh...
This one's for the loser inside of you
And this is for the people who don't
Get to take the trophy home
Worked so hard and you look so pretty
Got your butt to Radio City!
Take it from two singing tuxedos
Smile tonight, no matter how it goes
Remember the shows who've proven a lack of top honor
Won't make you a goner
It might even make you a host!
[JOSH]
Jesus Christ Superstar, Dreamgirls and Hair
[SARA]
Wow! Hair?
[JOSH]
I know, it's Hair
Into the Woods!
[SARA]
Aw, but it's so good!
[JOSH]
Yeah, lost it to Phantom
[SARA]
Couldn't they share?
[JOSH]
Chicago and Waitress are still selling tickets
[SARA]
But neither went home with Best Musical
[JOSH & SARA]
And one of the most produced shows is mother------- Seussical!
So this is for the people who lose
'Cause most of us have been in your shoes
Oooh...
Look, you're at the Tonys
This one's for you
And this is for the people who don't
Get to take the trophy home
Worked so hard to write you a ditty
Raise your glass to Radio City!
[JOSH]
As much as we all love a rave review
We're here 'cause we love it even if we lose
[SARA]
What lasts are the stories and how we all feel
These shows help us open our hearts and they heal
[JOSH & SARA]
In a world that is scary and hard to endure
If you make art at all, you're a part of the cure
So whether you close in a week or ten years
[JOSH, SARA & COMPANY]
Antoinette honors everyone here!
[JOSH, spoken]
Ladies and gentlemen, representing the hardest working men and women on Broadway, ensemble members from every nominated musical tonight!
[JOSH, SARA & COMPANY]
Hey hey hey hey
So this is for the people who play
(This is for the people who play)
Go on with the show every day
On Broadway
Look, you're at the Tonys
This one's for you
And this is for the people who choose
To follow a dream
Tip your hats and raise your glasses
To theaters filled with total badasses
We welcome you to Tonys number 72
This one's for you!
