Not everyone can be a winner when it comes to coveted acting trophies like those doled out at Sunday night’s 64th annual Tony Awards -- but there’s always swag!
Plenty of Hollywood elite who took turns on Broadway this season stopped by the official Tonys gift suite backstage at Radio City Music Hall, including Scarlett Johansson, Viola Davis, Matthew Morrison, Kristin Chenoweth, Helen Mirren, Paula Abdul and Sean Hayes.
LG Electronics pledged to donate an energy-efficient washer- dryer set to theaters on the Great White Way for every star who came through the lounge, getting cheeky by asking each bold name whose dirty laundry they’d most like to wash.
Naturally, Abdul’s choice was ‘American Idol’ judge Simon Cowell, while Hayes opted for ex-POTUS George W. Bush.
Crunch Fitness took up residence in the lounge, offering complimentary one-year memberships and private training sessions to stars. Mirren, with husband Taylor Hackford, was overheard saying she lived close to New York City’s Lafayette Street location and looked forward to popping in for a yoga class.
New York Jets player Mark Sanchez, who presented best-musical nominee ‘Memphis,’ nabbed a one-year supply of Altoids, noting his ritual of brushing his teeth before every game.
Sanchez, arm in arm with new squeeze Jamie Lynn Sigler, took a second to indulge in...
... Starbucks ice cream before hitting the ceremony.
‘Glee’ sweetheart and Tony-trophy-holder Chenoweth picked up some pink pods for the Nespresso CitiZ espresso maker, to match her all-pink kitchen.Check out more Tony swag stars below!
