...presenting the Best Musical award and calling it a night?

...turning the 3-hour long broadcast into a political campaign for gay marriage and ditching the awards altogether?

...Liza Minnelli will wash Barbra Streisand's feet?

...Neil Patrick Harris will chain himself down onto the stage and refuse to leave until Jerry Herman's tribute is put back in the show?

...President Obama will make a cameo?

...Neil Patrick Harris will rise up from the trap door, say "gotcha!" and exit while Hugh Jackman takes over hosing responsibilities?

...will be interrupted by a picture-taker following the offender getting LuPwned live on TV?

...will include a makeout session between Dolly Parton and Elton John?
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I wonder what the odds of him singing the Confrontation from Les Miz are.

...won't actually be unlike anything anyone has seen before and is just something they are saying to get people to actually watch the Tonys?

But the people who would watch the TONYS to see something unlike anything before are the same dorks (myself included) who would watch the awards regardless.

Perhaps a live performance of Dr. Horrible?

It's some sort of medley (Liza said during the BWW video feature that she'll be performing "The World Goes 'Round" as part of it.)
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
