The 79th Tony Awards was filled with show-stopping numbers and heartfelt acceptance speeches as the likes of “Ragtime,” “Death of a Salesman,” “Schmigadoon!” and “Liberation” scored major victories. Their moments on stage took place during the CBS telecast, but not every moment from Broadway’s biggest night was picked up by cameras. The good times keep rolling through the commercial breaks, as A-listers rubbed elbows, and at the afterparties, where the big stars enjoyed burgers from Shake Shack and got their drink on.
Here’s a look at what you missed on TV.
Selfie Time
Stars, they’re just like us. After wrapping their telecast performance, the cast of “The Lost Boys” lingered for a minute on stage to take a selfie. And they weren’t the only ones looking to capture their big moment for posterity. Cinco Paul, a dual winner for writing the score and book of “Schmigadoon!,” posed for snapshots with his statues in the back of the theater, while presenters Nicole Scherzinger, Darren Criss and Rachel Zegler all shared the frame in a musical theater selfie for the ages.
