Michael Crawford Wins Tony Award 

The original and best Phantom! Well deserved!!!

He is beyond adorable in this. Well deserved!!!!!

Who could possibly dislike this? Class, humility, joy...this man is the epitome of someone deserving of such an honor.

In his memoirs Michael tells of how, right after he won this award, he locked himself in the public bathroom and "wept uncontrollably" because he was so relieved and thankful that he'd won.

That man is an absolute treasure. And boy did he deserve that award

This is so sweet! Michael is adorable :)

he did look like it was Frank Spencer accepting it. it almost even sounded like he was doing his iconic "Oooooh!" in that one moment.

Michael gave one heck of a hug.

Omg I want a hug like that from Michael ;) well deserved!

Wow, who knew that Howard would one day play "the Phantom" and Michael would be in the audience to witness it? : )

1.13 - frank spencer noise :D
