• The top 5 moments of the Tony Awards telecast
• NEW YORK (AP) -- The top five moments on Sunday night's Tony Awards telecast you'll be talking about Monday morning:
• . Neil Patrick Harris opening the show with an insane amount of dancers, glitter and silliness. He joked about kiddie stars, ended up hanging high from a prop and made even Mike Tyson dance.

When Harris joined "Smash" star Megan Hilty, "Go On" star Laura Benanti (swigging a bottle) and former "The Book of Mormon" star Andrew Rannells to skewer theater stars who seek fame -- and fortune -- on TV. Harris' guests all recently tried their hands at TV, but only his "How I Met Your Mother" is still on the air.
• . That amazing kid tap-dancing in the "A Christmas Story, the Musical" segment. He's 10-year-old Luke Spring and in his gangster's pinstripe suit and lightning-fast feet, he mowed people down.
• . Cyndi Lauper performing her song "True Colors" during the segment when dead members of the theater community are honored. It was moving, natural and fitting that Lauper, a first-time Broadway composer, make the nod to her predecessors.
