Bebe Neuwirth and Nathan Lane at the Tony Awards 2010!

[@Jennyenydotz]

Nathan Lane is unforgettable in everything he'd been in! I loved him as Gomez Addams! He was funny, childish and over the top with it. Which is the way I've always thought the character should be portrayed, especially when his spouse is as sultry, subtle and deadly as Morticia.

[@MichaelBublesGirl27]

Nathan Lane looks so handsome in that Tux he is wearing. I so love and so adore Nathan Lane so much in my heart.

[@MichaelBublesGirl27]

That is so true. I am so madly in love with Nathan Lane. He is so great and such a wonderful actor. I have seen many of his films. Nathan has done lots of charity work and benefits. He is the Wind beeneath my wings. Nathan is the bestest in the whole world.

[@DJsaxby16]

B: Best actor and actress in a musical N: Holy crap this isn't gonna be pretty (pulls out flask) These two are amazing

[@sueben]

I just love her voice. Omg, it's the best voice ever! It's so unique... I guess it made me become interested in her in the first place. And her looks...oh and the acting, dancing and other things she does, too ;) But seriously, her voice is so awesome, isn't it?? *__*

[@WillScarlet16]

"Or as we call it at my house, 'Passover.'" The NY Times is right - he IS the greatest living entertainer on Broadway. They should be writing shows FOR him.

[@VforVenlee]

Nathan: "i didn't see what we were presenting" Bebe: "Oh right me neither" Nathan: "whats that" Bebe:"Oh, Hu" i lost it there

[@Solarista6222]

@MrNewBroadway She probably was, she says that she's a shy person in big crowds. So if she's not playing a role and just being herself, she probably was a little nervous.

[@thetman56tube]

"Or as we call it at my house...Passover." That line was used decades ago by Bob Hope when he was hosting the Oscars. I still remember him saying it. It's a great line, and I don't object to Nathan Lane using it, but I can't believe he didn't know it was "borrowed", and it would have been sweet if he would have given some sort of nod to Hope.

[@Jennyenydotz]

To me Nathan Lane is legendary. He is a veteran and much beloved in the theatre community. Raul Julia is the guy the from the Addams Family movies, right? If so, I thought he was good but I definitely prefer Nathan's interpretation.

[@BroadwayFan200]

this was my favorite part of the Tony Awards

[@nerezza23]

[@marygraham9338]

Great performance.

[@RosesNightengales]

Bebe: Huh... Nathan: What's That? Bebe: Best Actor and Actress in a musical Nathan: Oh, this isn't going to be pretty lmao. they were funny.

[@magoini]

Bebe gave a better performance giving the award than the actrice who receved it!

[@toughcookie5454]

ugh NATHAN LANE SERIOUSLY DESERVED THE BE NOMINATED. YES he was playing basically himself..BUT HE WAS HILARIOUS AND WAS GOMEZ

[@setanta1954]

I just love the way she speak's mmmmmmmmmm she is BEBEautiful

[@kevinbergin9971]

0:19 Bob Hope's estate sued for residuals for that Passover line.

[@maxjohnson8025]

It amazes me however when people who didn't get nominated for something believe they've been robbed. Maybe it just means it wasn't their time.

[@elizachristina1953]

Unforgettable 🤣

[@kangfesher]

@Ichiro20 ty....I couldn't remember where I had heard it before....a thousand times. :D

[@BroadwayDivo]

Further I have heard from people who have seen it that agree, there are better things to see

[@LilithSterninAddams]

Dude I was on vacation in Denver when this was on I just about died with laughter when Bebe Neuwirth and Nathan Lane start on the whole thing about being passedover for the award Dang they should have gotten the awards I think. Oh well there's always next time plus Kevin Chamberlin and Andrew Lippa should have won but I guess that group of People on that panel don't know good talent when they see it

[@danielthompsonmoviestravel8254]

Nathan Lane is always funny.

[@Titaniacy]

Nathaaaaaaaan! Always so adorable! Stupid Tonys for not nominating him!

[@victoriaindigo]

I'm shocked that Nathan Lane hasn't won a Tony yet!

[@Theatre_Girl63095]

He won in 2001 for The Producers

[@jovanolague3161]

He has actually won 3 Tony Awards

[@LilithSterninAddams]

@stephenc77098 Ok now I get it!Oh man it's still funny!And like I said when I saw this on my vacation to denver I just about died!My eyes had tears coming out of them!So thanks for the info about the joke.

[@DC11961]

@Hoboinaboxdestroyer Well that's your opinion. Btw, there's quite a few people who would disagree with that "statement" (opinion is more like it). I would be one:

[@arruda.wakening]

@magoini Haha. AGREED.

[@thalialuvmx]

y weren't they nominated?

[@fredgwynn8933]

thalialuvmx cause Addams Family is a terrible show

[@MrOrlando12345]

on 0:27 look at the door in the backround where they came out u c a person

[@BroadwayDivo]

@crystallpink Seriously if you think The Addams Family was better than Fela! or Company or any of the truly great musicals, and you can PROVE it, then I will concede.

[@BroadwayDivo]

@SyLaRaDdIcTiOn " The Addams Family has arrived, and as predicted by advance buzz, it is not well received. The lion's share of the blame is heaped on the writing team, particularly Andrew Lippa's generic songs and gag-worthy lyrics. Critics additionally bemoan the demorbidization of Addams' signature characters and the watering down of the material into family-friendly pap. A *few* outliers--most notably John Simon, who pens a positive rave--had a devil of a good time.

[@Hoboinaboxdestroyer]

There is no fucking way he was the best Gomez are you kidding!

[@fredgwynn8933]

WELP they were in a bad musical. What can ya say?

[@BroadwayDivo]

@SyLaRaDdIcTiOn You're kidding right? The Addams Family was one of the worst musicals of the season.

[@Hoboinaboxdestroyer]

@dinopickle2 Raul Julia's performance was akin to Heath Ledger in the Dark Night or Daniel Day-Lewis in Gangs of New York. Legendary. Nathan Lane is not Legendary.
