James Corden's Electrifying 2019 Tony Awards Opening Number Salutes The Magic Of Live Broadway 

Do you want to express an image of American culture emphasizing live performances to a live audience and its realisms. James: Uhh, I thought I was hosting the tony's?

Sorry not even close to Neil Patrick Harris performance.... but we value the effort

@@MrMarcosyMrsLaura Neil is a great performer.

Yes. He he’s such a talented man

@@MrMarcosyMrsLaura both are super cool. I preferred that one, but both are tremendous.

ngl NPH's Bigger still holds a special place in my heart

@Erich Kmett exactly 👍

Erich Kmett m

NPH's has standings on all of them

I didn’t think this was very good - nothing in comparison to NPH’s opening numbers (particularly “Bigger”).

Ellie Jones ironic since it’s the show about death...ok ok that was a bad joke I’ll go now

i think that's part of what makes it so special :)

@@humanbeing5546”seriously though this is a show about death!”

Alex is such an insane actor even the way he looks and moves his body and face can capture you even when its about James, he's insane

Honestly, whenever he was in view, I was watching him

"Here's one we made earlier" *Points to In The Heights*

Wha 'bout Rent

what about Beetlejuice?

And Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... baret

LMFAOAOOAA THEY ARE ALREADY MAKINF A MOVIE

Neil Patrick Harris has done better openings than this one

Search up 2013 NPH

Avery Jang that was the point! Lol he finished one title while starting the next.

Lame, hope he doesn’t come back here. Keep him please

I have done a lot of marinating.

here here! ;)

I was thinking the same thing..

Lol

me too lol

9 days later... Love it!

Same. I can't tell if it is a glorious anthem of hope or a knife in the gut or both.

@@sarahk5412 Yup. Same.

the simple thing we took for granted

@@bsquared4604 I Absolutely AGREE! So very many things I’ve taken for granted!!

I’m here December 17, 2020 ! THANKFUL we have a vaccine! It’ll still take time to roll out though, for EVERYONE !

so well-stated!

James did go through an arrogant phase with early British TV success, way before he married. He then had to work hard to get back to the top, but it’s made him such a great guy, having gone through that experience that eventually grounded him. I cried when he giggled.......We miss you back home, James! xx

Hey dear how are you doing

No Lullabies!

@@seexive4912 beddy bye bye 👋😂

He’s deserves it tho. Feel like a proud mum watching him grow since ‘league of their own’

Urm.. League of their own? He wasn't in League of Their Own..

James deserve it and more. 😊

@@blissfuldw yes, yes he was

Bliss en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_League_of_Their_Own_(British_game_show)

Moe did you read an article about one of the Oscar judge who would never vote for any marvel movie just because they are superhero movies, regardless of the quality themselves? That's just so fucking pathetic and pretentious

I first became aquatinted with James when he was a single father on Doctor Who. He has come a very long way.

Becky Gifford Me too. It makes me feel like a proud mom 😭

Box I chybc yo

I thought the same too.

Feel Alive!

Exactly

FOR REALL

Same

Hey dear how are you doing today

:,)

You're so right and to top it all off he's a husband and a father of 3.

And he finds time to do a sports based show here in the UK on Sky tv that's very successful.

He must have lost weight with all the practicing and engagements

KA Wilson and the westend lol

It wasn't streamed. It was a movie.

Lucinda Yes, technically, but it’s on their streaming service.

I want them to do what they did with Hamilton to be done with beetlejuice but I don’t think it has enough money to do that

Don't forget that on Disney+ there are also abailable Newsies!

@@lucinda2329 yeah and so is Newsies

They all did

Literally everyone raised their hand

his borderline tear-shedding face warmed ma heart!

@@maddis7524 yes! he's so soft lol i'm actually so proud of him

YALL.....One girl told me i had *"low standards"* in the comments for sayin that james was a goood singer....and i said that "i was just complementing him for being a great singer for a late show host and i didnt mean to bother your little *"high"* standards..can u even sing?".......And im just over here thinking like, *BIHH* u can't hate because u prob cant sing ur ABC'S in the right tune...go sit down somewhere.

@@harryswatermelonsugar7636 Please stop repeating yourself all over the comments.

Yessss!!!

@Donna Willams me tooo!!!!

I dont think anything will top neil patrick haris 2013 opening though

That last part always makes me tear up, I'm just like a proud mom haha 🥺

Yess this!🥺

Phillipa Is Good!

Good actor? Cinderella and cats?

@@filmvipers into the woods? Gavin and Stacey?

@@mikescheeseos3518 Ocean's 8 and Peter Rabbit

Good singer? Fair singer maybe, No one does it better then Neil Patrick Harris. The only times I watch the opening live is when he is the host.

Nathália Freitas Idk him but I did almost cried at the end hah

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Yes indeed

Well that first raise was not with ease lol :D he wobbled and thes let him down earlier than intended :D

Yes!!

@@Dhor16 that was the joke.

1000 th like 😂sorry

Lol probably

@@fazzybear5649 yeah that was her legit reason for leaving, she wanted to pursue television because she was getting bored from doing the same show 8 times a week. It was probably also destroying her voice

A Bad Day!

Thwre's a reason for that puppy, and you would know so if you followed, QANON. Seems like there are quite a few celebs and politician's including dogs in their Tweets. TRUE STORY!!! WWG1WGA

@@whatsyurprob158 What are you even saying? Did you have a stroke?

@@luciferspissbaby Oh, you heard me alright. You just don't want to hear it which is why you aren't listening. The TRUTH, remember? Who are you told to HATE? What are you told to believe? Who are you told to love? These basic questions are summed up with 1 word. "MEDIA", and only 6 people own 92% of all "MEDIA" world wide. Pretty easy to invent a FAKE narrative with only a half dozen having a say in it don't you think? It's TRUE though. How much do you want TRUTH? Do you have children? How much do you want TRUTH? If your mind is already made up, you continue to be a fence post, I don't care. How much do you want TRUTH? Read my first post again, and the look into it. How much do you want TRUTH? WWG1WGA WWG1WGA

What even is happening rite now? Like, can I just enjoy the performance? Get lost.

@Kim Smith What are you even talking about? I was referring to a FAKE female. You Blind leaders of the Blind actually believe the media and tv was invented for your "entertainment" which is your first mistake. "Sucks to be you." WWG1WGA

Musical Theater Lover I know I love him!

in the CAR ON THE WAY TO WORK waaah!

ugh

True.

Ha ha. That's great.

ngl i was actually waiting for that

lol I thought the same.

ikr

I agree! I wonder how long he had to work on his routine. I don't think I could ever have learned all those lines.

Very little.

@@HarryThorpe2010 There is a giant screen/teleprompter on the back wall of the theater. You can see it in a couple of the NPH pieces where he goes into the audience.

Color me cynical, but I think it's not a little bit because he was telling *that* audience exactly what they wanted to hear. Of course... I agree with it, so I'd be standing too. ;)

Me too ❤️

I couldn't agree more! Firstly I'm in the UK and half the shows don't play here. We only got wicked last year and it did one tour. Secondly I'm disabled so it's even harder for me to see a show. I love the theatre and wish I could go more.

Same here. I'm from the Philippines and I really wanna watch theater as well but since I'm from Mindanao (Southern island), and the shows are only in Manila, I have to get plane tickets aside from the theater tickets. Sucks so bad.

Check out Broadway Direct TV.

Im here in the netherlands still wishing for hamilton😭😂 and even if we get nice musicals (anastasia is here!!) they translate it into stupid dutch

There's a platform called Broadway HD actually. It doesn't have everything, but it has a good array

Full circle 🤣💓

🤣

Easter egg HAHA!

Love it! I have a shirt with just those numbers on it from when I saw it live! It was amazing❤️

So glad someone noticed! 😄

Thanks! I never would have known the significance of that number.

Do you mind explaining me? Sorry I didn't get it.

@@moe2436 in Les Mis, Jean Valjean was prisioner number 24601

lmao

What's his name man?

Wait, the one from Dr. Who with the baby? Haha

Sunako Nakahara Lmao 😂

What's his name man? James Corden His name is James Corden And these are what I'll be awarding But just you wait, just you wait.

He must have shot it before though

@@matttmcswiggen7996 it isnt

@@matttmcswiggen7996 Welp

And the Emoji Movie

He was good in the movie honestly

You have seen stuff like that before. People talking and singing about something you don't have. It's called a commercial.

yeah well. because 1.590.000 people from all over the world couldn't all be there at that place at that time all at once. the point those good human beings in the video are trying to make is: go and check out your local theatre. and maybe take a trip to broadway one day if you can. so yeah - splendid idea! :)

@@lyncassady9868 Nice one mate,, The time and effort all these people have put in to do this, is astounding, I'm not sure if they cut and spliced, but the whole thing looked like one take. When we sing & play we just get on with it, If I went to do a song half a dozen times before I got it right, the Crowd would just walk away... This show looked brilliant.

This was a live show recorded at Radio City Music Hall. It has been shown on tv and RU-vid.

@@cherrywoodstudios385 Hi From Auckland NZ.

I found it just today 😭

Kate Schneider ikr 😂 I was just looking for them. And then Sophia and Alex are so cuteee

I cant find them 😭😭

I cant find them 😭😭

And Alex has bright green hair

BubblyBrainiac yes! 💚

I couldn’t agree more!

pretty sure they all stayed in character! barry glickman was posing for the camera, and the fates had these stares on like they wanted that to happen.

bramblesong they were just pointing that out because he has such a chaotic character, and he had all these weird stances and facial expressions going on

Ikr? 💚

In the video “22 musicals in 12 minutes” he actually is the clock for a little bit. XD

Alex Brightman!

That beautiful man is Alex Brightman, my dude.

Yes, bow before Alex Brightman you peasant! Nah in all honesty he just really has fun with Beetlejuice and Broadway in general so he does it randomly even out of costume a lot and we love him😂

Cool Cow why does anyone even like him?? Haven’t you heard about the people that have come out about him being an asshole to fans and non-celebs

@@cyasis9143 is this true? Links?

Gray Rage Winter Watch reddit videos on rude celebs there’s plenty in there about James cordon

@@cyasis9143 am I suppose to trust that? Well, maybe, that's true. But, is there more story to it? Maybe he's just joking around and the people get offended or maybe it was just his bad day or his not feeling. BTW, if he is ever like what people been calling James. I guess, he must change because there are many people who idolize and love him. I'm neutral

@@cyasis9143 Also, how would you feel like if you were constantly hounded by people on the street? They never take a break .

He seems a humble man, glad he is a success in America,but he never forgotten how it all started with him ,doing Gavin and Stacey again.

So you are the one who watched.

Farnes Family Scrapbook With James, What you see, is what you get. Hi has no false “ airs or graces” He is a classy, honest, dignified guy, love him!❤️👏

You should totally check out Neil Patrick Harris’s opening! That one and this one are probably my favorites

Lily Dawson right?! That’s what choked me up!! It was all good fun and then that moment happened and my heart melted.

IKR,SAME! Damn,that was so overwhelming to see,but James was probably feeling so much more overwhelmed with emotion than I ever was! My heart is so happy for him too,he deserves it more than anything!

Emily Krabill 100% AGREE!!

Savvy Core ayyy!

💖💖💖💖

He can alternate years with NPH lol

Neil Patrick Harris did a better job.

Storm D That works for me too!

Still pining for Hugh Jackman but no doubting how great James is.

Storm D and Hugh Jackman

Dude, he has a perfect dancing body

Such a fat shaming comment, and sadly 300 ppl are the same..smh. He has a dancer body, tf you talking bout? Wtf is a "dancers body" anyway uugh

wow, that's an incredibly gross thing to say!!

Why is everyone so upset he obviously doesn’t have a dancers body😂

Sanne Willemse because it's a shitty comment. i am a dancer and i know just how toxic the weight/body side of comments can ruin careers, confidence and even lives OUT of performing. if people would think before they commented.. we wouldn't have to reply with this shit. have a brain and a heart please.

Littlebit31 me too. He is so funny and lovable .

@@lisaryplanski4921 1h

I started to see a pattern with the little pauses, a moment to catch his breath I think, but considering it’s not really his job to sing and dance, he did great! I wonder if he could give Madonna lessons?

Fat Boy can dance! And do the splits! (Ouch.) Didn't know he could do that.

Network 1975

Is that a reference I dont get it 🙄

@@FenaLoL That's a line from the movie Network 1975. It is considered as one of the best movies of all times and it handles the topic of TV and ratings etc...

Fena Reti yes it is. Bryan Cranston’s broadway show called Network closed the night before the Tony Awards. It’s about how a news reporter goes crazy because of the ongoing events. The famous line is “I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore” when Bryan says “I’m bloated as hell” because he has to go to the bathroom

A FULL MOOD!

To see him at the Tony Awards finally? He won a Tony in 2014! Yes, before TV.

James is such an all round talented guy.

IKR,DAMN,LMFAO!

I love Network!

It was the best part! XD

Me right now. xD

Bahahahaha

He gets really breathy though

@@marianne5055 at least he tries 😂😂

Lousy singer

Least he not using autotune got to say something for that how many singers sound dreadful but you don't know

@@johnsweda2999 right

Amir Mullick Me too. I was tearing up before I read any comments saying the same

he is actually really rude in public -_-

r.s.b 1997 Really? When I met him, he was such a sweetheart and he was so sweet to my mother as well! He even took more than a few pictures because quote „no no I don’t look good wait“😂😂❤️

IKR,HE REALLY DOES,HE JUST DOES!

He was really awsome

Not just Broadway star but any theatre performer anywhere

legendary. Use the word in 20 years when people are still talking about it. Legendary isn't what happened 5 minutes ago! And in 5 years, nobody will remember this crappy number.

@@richardholmesmusic2128 Musicians have to be the least generous people on the planet.

Yes I love him. He is like a kid in a candy store!

James Corden is a massive bell end

عهه٧غ٦٦ل٧تلاغغغف٥قففقفقب

Still not even close to nph

@@stillatin It was still amazing.

IKR,SAME! Wouldn't you? Yeah,go James,you deserve so much love,no stress and lots of happiness. He deserves it,he deserves all the success in the world.

@@stillatin Why always this comparisions??? Everyone has his/her own personalities, skills etc.. Do you like when someone says about you "But he/she is not that good like that colleague/person" ? Especially in art its often more a thing of taste and preferences than of skills.

Still waiting...

Well... he has been in several musicals. Including the live action Into the Woods.

@@badazzledhippo6010 I admit I don't know much about him other than being a talk show host. I was impressed when he followed through going skydiving with Tom Cruise. But this really opened my eyes.

bad day phillipa!

THE FACT THAT SHE LEFT BEETLEJUICE FOR TV IM DEAD LMAO

@@ellierogowski2731 HAHAHA YESSS
