HOLLYWOOD - Old-fashioned Broadway revivals Gypsy and South Pacific ruled at the 62nd annual Tony Awards on Sunday, taking home the top awards of the night.
Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific edged out competition from beloved favorites Grease and Sunday in the Park with George to claim the award for Best Revival of a Musical, as well as six other awards, including best actor--for the lead, Paulo Szot--and a best director prize for Bartlett Sher.
Stephen Sondheim, whose shows Gypsy and Sunday in the Park With George were both competing for best musical revival, was honored with a lifetime achievement award.
The ceremony, which was hosted by actress Whoopi Goldberg, featured performances by the casts of stage shows such as The Lion King, Rent, The Little Mermaid and Young Frankenstein.
