		Tony Bennett sang "Lullaby of Broadway" and Mary J. Blige screeched "What I Did For Love." The highlight was LL Cool J presenting best score with Carol Channing ("I been keepin' it poppin' too"), preceded by a rap version of "Hello, Dolly."
		Last night's awards probably mean that "Avenue Q" has a good chance of touring, along with "Wicked." But if "Wicked" comes to Boston, costumer Hilferty might have some explaining to do to local author Gregory Maguire, whose novel is the basis for the show.

		“Baby,” which was nominated for a 1984 Tony Award for Best Musica, is comedic on the surface, but is still able to give the audience a touching glimpse of relationship issues that are significant today.
		“Baby,” also nominated for a Tony Award for Best Original Score, really allows the audience to get in tune with all the characters, with the ladies’ rendition of “I Want It All” and the men’s hilarious “Fatherhood Blues” number.
