A video made by the cast members of "Shrek" that was shown to the Tonys audience during commercials...hilarious!

The 'Aquarius' and 'Electricity' parts were the best.

I wish they had showed this on the actual broadcast

That was one of my favorite things from the commercial breaks. I just wish they had the whole thing on youtube.

"Yeah, i'd love to see everything us television viewers missed!"

Does this include wanting to see the extra minute of the Mamma Mia tour cast repeating the lines "see that girl, watch that scene, diggin the dancing queen" xD

Haha hilarious! Why wasn't this aired instead of the Mamma Mia tour?

I loved the little videos during the commercial breaks. I am glad they do something interesting for those who attend.

HAH! That was great! But what was the Peter Pan, dwarf, plant girl thing singing around 43 seconds in?

That was one of the cobblers' elves and she was singing Little People from Les Miserables.

My favorites are the 3 pigs as the 3 Billys and the wolf singing "I Feel Pretty." Genius!

Does anyone remember what the other characters sang? I know Haven started it off, but I forgot the song. And it showed more of Noah Rivera as the white rabbit singing In the Heights. I forget what else.

Haven's "Spoonful of Sugar" and the first shot of the white rabbit doing In the Heights are the only two things missing from the start of that video.

Now THAT is funny. They need to do THIS stuff on the telecast.

Oh, I thought there was more. Good to know.

I loved it, who is the person in the witch's hat that sang first...On the telecast i noticed some new fairy tale creatures. Like the girl singing legally blonde and the Jack frost character from the telecast. Are they in the show?

I believe that those are swings. If an understudy usually in the chorus goes on, they take their place in the chorus- but everybody in the cast is a unique fairy tale character, even the swings have a unique creature that only they play.

I was just like...wow that is new. I did like them I still can't figure out what it is.

I agree with everyone here! This is what the people who actually watch the Tony Awards want to see. Honestly, CBS!

Hopefully it will be on the Shrek website or on their YouTube account.

They might have trouble getting permission to post the video with all of those songs being used if it wasn't a part of the initial contracts.

That's HILARIOUS. Just, wow. This sort of stuff would make the Tonys more interesting to watch on tv.

That "Peter Pan, dwarf, plant girl thing" is Jen Cody, one of the FUNNIEST performers EVER to hit Broadway.

These are hilarious! I wish Haven's "Spoonful of Sugar" was up somewhere. Her Sugarplum Fairy is hysterical.
