Neil Patrick Harris' Awesome 2011 Tony Awards Closing Rap

Sagemindsays...

Think about it. That was a lot to remember/memorize but he didn't know who the winners were and much of what he said was reflective on the award show itself. Most of that was made up on the spot. I'm sure he had some of it thought out beforehand but to bring it all together on the spot? - That's pure talent right there!

No that's awesome, I'm totally fascinated by this process.

I'd like to see any of you memorize this in that short of time though, especially with everything else going on back and front stage

I must admit though, I, as most people, forget about the professional writers behind the scenes that raise these stars up on pedestals the way they do - Kudos to them!

Does the illustrator of the idea deserve less credit than the creator of the idea? Poor deliveries are as much a failure as poor ideas. In the case of writers, they don't get enough credit, but let's not believe a star rises only because of a team of writers. Oftentimes an actor can raise a writer on a pedestal; or a great artist raising a terrible writer. Same thing, really.

And what of the producers who pick out all of the pieces to make a whole? Anyway.

Absolutely correct, I was thinking the same thing after I said that.
writer elevates actor - actor elevates writer, director trims the excess.
poor delivery can kill brilliant writing, while poor writing can let an actor down.
It works both ways.
