Winning the best presentation award was the company of Avenue Q, which lamented The Lion King’s perennial status as the winner of the presentation award. In "Bonnet of Life," the Avenue Q cast delivered a side-splitting parody of the long-running Disney hit’s signature number "Circle of Life," which left the audience roaring.

PENGUINS ON THE BOTTOM
PINK PAJAMAS
PENGUINS ON THE BOTTOM
GARY
FROM THE DAY WE ARRIVED
AT NEW WORLD STAGES,
HIGHEST TOTAL OFF-BROADWAY
WE’VE WON.
BUT WITH COMPETITION HIGH,
FOR THE BEST SKIT PRIZE,
BY THE LION KING,
WE ARE ALWAYS OUTDONE.
THEY ARE FAR TOO FIT AND ATTRACTIVE
WHILE OUR PUPPETS
HAVE NO LEGS AT ALL.
WE CAN CHOREOGRAPH A DANCE,
FOR A SLUT WITH NO PANTS,
OR SING A SONG ON ACOUSTIC GUITAR.
ITS THE BONNET OF LIFE,
AND TO WIN IT ALL,
WE’LL NEED FAITH AND HOPE,
AND JUDITH LIGHT.
WE WILL MAKE A POINT
HEARTFELT AND INSPIRING,
AT THE BONNET,
THE BONNET OF LIFE.
ITS THE BONNET OF LIFE,
AND TO WIN IT ALL,
WE’LL NEED FAITH AND HOPE,
AND JUDITH LIGHT.
COMPANY
TIL WE WIN FIRST PLACE
OR AT LEAST BEAT LION KING,
AT THE BONNET,
THE BONNET OF LIFE!
