he's wearing three layers of pants, but two jackets. At 5:27 ish when he's moved to the back, a dancer hands him his third jacket. Choreographing blocking and dancing is hard enough, adding wardrobe assistance so everything seamlessly blends together just makes it that much harder!
@hips28626 жыл бұрын
The first two layers of clothing are probably 'strap-ons' with velcro. Literally two halves of material velcro'd at the seams. The top layer tuxedo shirt might not be a full-on shirt. The bottom layer looks like a real tuxedo.

oneofthemodels you know what's funny? christian supremists like to quote that "marriage should be between man and woman" but you guys like to discount 71 scriputures throughout the bible where God specifically "God loves all his children"
@Jsalcedo239 жыл бұрын
oneofthemodels then why do you guys claim he hates the gays and what not? that is pretty much contradicting don't you think? how can he love all his children yet hate the homosexuals? there is literally 1 or 2 scriptures where God mentions marriage between man and woman. he never has hateful attitude towards homosexuals, but you guys like to blow it up out of proportion whereas there is over 70 scriptures where God mentions he loves everyone. Christianity is meant to be a religion of peace and love amongst one another but seems like a lot of you like to preach hate and bad thoughts towards others, especially homosexuals. you guys contradict each other all the time. it's embarrassing. Just admit you don't like homosexuals, don't bring God into it.

oneofthemodels cool way to ignore all my facts. so according to what you're telling me, God hates us just as much as he hates gays? this is what i mean by christians contradicting themselves all the time. you guys say one thing about the subject, then later on say something completely different...

I can't believe you're gonna compare this to sodom, that is a low even for a christian person like yourself, your hatefulness and spite makes you no more than a atheist.

I just realized he was wearing 3 layers of clothing here
The life of Broadway actors.
That we know of...
im surprised each layer fit as well as they did. they didnt look lumpy or restrictive
he's wearing three layers of pants, but two jackets. At 5:27 ish when he's moved to the back, a dancer hands him his third jacket. Choreographing blocking and dancing is hard enough, adding wardrobe assistance so everything seamlessly blends together just makes it that much harder!
The first two layers of clothing are probably 'strap-ons' with velcro. Literally two halves of material velcro'd at the seams. The top layer tuxedo shirt might not be a full-on shirt. The bottom layer looks like a real tuxedo.

This comment here is how I know you are a theatre nerd like me
Thank God for making Neil gay. For if not, the straight men of the world would have no chance with any women.
I'm gay and I don't see any chance with him... T________T
oneofthemodels you know what's funny? christian supremists like to quote that "marriage should be between man and woman" but you guys like to discount 71 scriputures throughout the bible where God specifically "God loves all his children"
oneofthemodels then why do you guys claim he hates the gays and what not? that is pretty much contradicting don't you think? how can he love all his children yet hate the homosexuals? there is literally 1 or 2 scriptures where God mentions marriage between man and woman. he never has hateful attitude towards homosexuals, but you guys like to blow it up out of proportion whereas there is over 70 scriptures where God mentions he loves everyone. Christianity is meant to be a religion of peace and love amongst one another but seems like a lot of you like to preach hate and bad thoughts towards others, especially homosexuals. you guys contradict each other all the time. it's embarrassing. Just admit you don't like homosexuals, don't bring God into it.
oneofthemodels cool way to ignore all my facts. so according to what you're telling me, God hates us just as much as he hates gays? this is what i mean by christians contradicting themselves all the time. you guys say one thing about the subject, then later on say something completely different...
oneofthemodels name me a gay role nph has ever played? zero. he was a womanizer on HIMYM for crying out loud. so where is he "pushing his gay agenda on national tv"? You know what else the bible doesn't condone and says is also wrong and a sin? being judgemental of others. I can't believe you're gonna compare this to sodom, that is a low even for a christian person like yourself, your hatefulness and spite makes you no more than a atheist. You make christians look bad, please do us a favor and renounce your religion please and thank you

Can we PLEASE appreciate how he was wearing THREE suits during the whole performance?? WHAT!?! insanely talented is an understatement
Nothing suits him like a suit
And without breaking a sweat! Beast!
Technically the last outfit isn't a suit when he's wearing it under the other two - someone brings him the suit jacket just after they rip the purple outfit off him. But it's still very impressive!

@@jessejimenez5605 No I don’t think so
Can a person......actually be so awesome? Neil, if I were you, I'd be careful, there's only so much awesome a person could hold in before exploding and dying.
If he could read this comment he'll probably reply, "CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!"
Mahym And then I'd be like, "That wasn't a challenge." -_-
HIMYM Lover That would be the whole point of Barney Stinsen accepting challenges throughout the series. They're never challenges. 'HIMYM Lover'? More like 'HIMYM Never heard of that show" :)
Mahym Lol, I know Barney accepts challenges like that. I was referencing to "Platonish", and when Robin said "That wasn't a challenge", and then Barney said "I'm afraid that's not possible, Robin. Once I've accepted a challenge, it cannot be unaccepted." I was quoting Robin. :P

@@coreydobbs2087 It was legen- wait for it DARY! It was LEGENDARY!!!
No matter how big and grand the other openings might seem, this one is by far the best.
At least at Tony awards, If you compare with Oscars, back in 2009 Hugh Jackman's number was better
I think Neil topped himself with the "Bigger" opening. But this one was also great for the message.
That's what I said to her
his 2013 opening was great too

aside from the fact that I'm straight as a ruler. I'm SO with you!
Neil Patrick Harris is so sickeningly talented!! Such a consummate pro - especially when Brooke shields fluffed her lines - he never lost his cool - the guy is awesome xxxx.
Her fluffing was ON PURPOSE!
@@Elizabeth-rp1pi it defo wasn't haha
@@RegularOddballI figured it was completely intentional.

You know when you had Joel Grey clapping and saying 'wow' you've done something fucking awesome.
That was Joel Grey?? Holy shit lol I knew he looked familiar
Because of this I wrote “We’re asking every hetero to get to know us better-o” in a college paper and my professor told me it was strictly because of that line that I got an A. Thanks Neil ❤️
What degree was that line relevant to?
whenever I watch this I always skip past Brooke Shields' part lol. so cringey. but props to the music people for staying on track
I know!!! SAME......
man I wish I would've known to skip that🤦🏾😂
NO ONE was on track but Neil and the ensemble which was probably lyp syncing.
understand her, NPH told that for her he thought he was straight for some years, thats the greatest thing a woman could hear
Shes human and prob only had a few mins to remember her lines. I thought it was cool how NPH helped her out..like..no big deal..let's try this again and she got it right the third time:). He was very cool about it as if he knew she would get it. He is the ultimate professional. That is who I would want by my side in that situation.
does anybody not like him? He is like the perfect person and i am honestly so fucking happy that he is gay. If he wasn't gay then Broadway would be missing out soo much
+Potter Perfect He does certainly seem like a genuine and great guy! Rare in this world! Thanks to his parents for bringing him into this world!
bmack agreed
+Potter Perfect What does him being gay have to do with anything...?
+Austin Nwachukwu exactly what I was thinking, there are A LOT of performers on Broadway that are not gay, Lea Salonga being one, Michael Ball being another, both of which are masters when it comes to Broadway and yet both are happily married to people of the opposite sex and just two of many.
+Potter Perfect I mean, I'm sure the homophobes have some objections, but they don't really count
Still the BEST Tony Award show opening EVER!!!
davidls11 If not MORE legendary
I'm always torn between this one and his "Make it Bigger". That one had magic
A little late to the party, but I think the 1996 opening is the best one.
Damn you Neil Patrick Harris for making me, ummm, wonder. Damn he's good looking. Uhhhh, for a guy.
themaintenancedude you know you perfectly can be a straight man and think a guy look handsome.
That is completely true but to be fair Neil, and John Barrowman have been confusing straight people for years
If you happen to be bi, "[Broadway] is twice as proud to have you"
*No Homo though
Straight women still want him don’t feel bad.
There was a comment on here somewhere that mentioned how once gay marriage was legalized, they should have spoofed this song as "Not Just For Straights Anymore." :)
"Because marriage has never been broader! It's not just for straights anymore!!"
I love NPH, even his awards ceremony is a shining example of his ability to act. Watching him mouth the lines that he's needing the participant to sing means he memorized every single line to the act even the ones that weren't his. All for just one single albeit epic opening. Bravo!
Legendary*
10 years later and this is still fabu...I mean, awesome!
This is so good I still tear up every time I watch it THREE YEARS LATER. Congratulations to the newlyweds David and Neil. Your kids are beautiful and you two are cute cute cute!

Look it's Swarley
‘We’d be twice as proud to have you if you go both ways’ Thank you Neil
Who’s watching this in 2020? Totally loved this. Feels like a Mel Brooks directed number. Amazing! ❤️
I am! I come back every so often when I need a fix ;)
Its nice too know I'm not alone
Lol been rewatching how I met your mother during lockdown and just got to the girls vs suits musical with Neil, then inevitably binge watch all of Neil’s musicals on KZhead
Coun Olaf really nails it
You’re right. Love me some Mel Brooks!
Lol I was wondering why his suit fit so weird
raina0413 I thought it was a reference to Mayhem of The Music Meister, why does he never reference it? It was his best work!
raina0413 he was the actor for The Music Meister.
The part were he says, "Big Broadway Rainbow" has so much emotion. It gets to me every time. 😊😊😁
Best award show opener EVER! And best awards show straight through! His number with Hugh Jackman is just as amazing. . . and the closing number, really amazing because it was done so fast! TBOM was/is my "new" favourite musical, and seeing Andrew do "I Believe" was another (non-NPH) highlight.
Sonia Knapp "...best awards show straight through...." Hahahahahaha!
Sonia Knapp I know this comment is 4 years ago, but I just wanted to say I agree and add the Anything Goes performance is another all time highlight
8 years later, and it's still the best.
I'll never get tired of this

life isnt fiar
invaderaid definitely not fiar.... i mean that's just life rolls, unfiar
2013 opening performance will always be my favorite but can't deny how great this one is.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who loved 1:53-2:15 especially the last bit of it when it came to intellectuals.
Amanda Johnson Oh no. My friend and I watched this recently, and this was the only part we could remember because of how funny it was. We keep quoting it, along with Book of Mormon and Rocky Horror (we watched them all in one night.)
joe mantello thanks for coming lol
HE WAS ONE OF THE BEST HOSTS...WISH THEY WOULD HAVE HIM BACK...ALSO THE ACADEMY AWARDS SHOULD HAVE HIM BACK...SOOOO MUCH BETTER THEN WHAT THEY HAVE HAD LATELY....
Sadly, the last time the Oscars had an opening musical number was 2015, which was literally Neil's year as host
The look on Colbert’s face when he says Pacino is too famous to take part in the bit 😂😂😂
he is amazing!
I've been watching this for YEARS without realizing Brooke Shields mistake wasn't on purpose! Fits right into the jokes and they play it off so well
Honestly, I think this is my favourite Tony Awards Opening ever. It's beautifully sung and choreographed and sooo funny!
God made him gay Because if he was straight every girl would be on his feel
oneofthemodels God doesn't exist, truth hurts?
Gaudas Jurav Explain the making of everything in this world then. Gods real, Truth hurts dosent it?

I thought it was funny. They added like 20 seconds, so what?
@@kellyalves756 it's not like these things are extremely tightly scheduled and even a few seconds throws everybody off....
Seconds? If you’re talking about programming- come on. They budget in a little bit of wiggle room because no production is perfect ( in fact, given they’d all been there for rehearsals they probably specifically budgeted in Brooke Time.) A five minute lag would potentially be disastrous, but a half minute lag is something professionals have no doubt had to work with many, many times.
This just reminded me how good the 2011 Broadway season was.
Who's here after James opening 2019

People who are homophobic should really watch this. NPH is just a guy, and he's really talented without being outrageous.
