2011 Tony Awards Closing Number - Where Speed, Brilliance and Doogie Intersect

I love this in-the-making moment of the closing act of the 2011 Tony Awards hosted by Neil Patrick Harris -- forever known to me as Doogie, was absolutely brilliant.  It was an end show rap or riff on the doings and winners. 

As a writer, I'm amazed at how this was done -- on-the-fly, backstage just winging it.  Talent wins here.  It's that good.  Kudos to writers Lin-Manuel Miranda and Tommy Kail, and of course, Mr. Harris aka Doogie. 



And this is the performance as it was seen by those in the audience, and at home.
