In related news, Tony host Neil Patrick Harris told the Hollywood Reporter that Lin-Manuel Miranda and Tom Kitt have written the opening number for the Tony Awards. "I think [it]is going to be great," Harris told the industry paper. "They don’t get paid a lot of money for it and there’s a lot of back and forth doing revisions, and re-records and orchestrations. I mean, just for one song, one time. They’re so gung ho and so excited by it, and I deeply value them for that. But I also know why. It’s because we all watched the Tonys growing up. That was our one night of the year to get to second-act these shows and see them performed live. I was from small-town New Mexico and did the exact same thing. You get a little bit of a pass when you ask people to participate in the Tonys. Even though it may be exhausting, there’s a glimmer in their eyes that makes it hard for them to say no."

The Tony Awards, hosted by Harris, will be broadcast live June 9 at 8 PM ET (PT time delay).

The 2013 Tony Awards are presented by The Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing.
