Tony Awards 2013: Mike Tyson does hilarious Glee-inspired cameo with host Neil Patrick Harris

Tony Awards 2013: Mike Tyson does hilarious Glee-inspired cameo with host Neil Patrick Harris

He’s famously the baddest man on the planet â€" but his terrifying title didn’t stop Mike Tyson from slipping into some razzle-dazzle.

The former heavyweight world champion boxer morphed into a sharp-suited dancer as he made a surprise appearance in the opening set of the Tony Awards 2013.

The ceremony host Neil Patrick Harris was returning for his fourth slot running the show and wowed the audience with his Broadway entrance.

It started with Harris simply holding a guitar in a pub like Once, but quickly morphed into a flashy stage performance that showcased stars from almost a dozen musicals.

Harris did impress with some top vocals and eccentric dance moves but it was Tyson’s appearance that stole the attention.

 

Broadcast live by CBS from Radio City Music Hall, New York, the star who featured in The Hangover series makes a brief cameo.

The Tonys recognises excellence in American theatre â€" so it was only fair Micky T â€" who recently embarked on a touring one-man show that actually hit Broadway â€" got involved.

Feel-good musical Kinky Booys - with songs by popstar and Broadway newcomer Cyndi Lauper - won SIX trophies at 2013 Tony Awards.

Their haul included best musical, best score and best leading man.

Christopher Durang's hilarious stage-piece Vanya And Sonia And Masha And Spike won the best play gong.

Everyone's favourite girl-genius Matilda the Musical won four awards as did Pippin.

Meanwhile the brilliantly titled Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? and The Nance shared three awards each.

The winners were picked by 868 Tony voters, including members of The Broadway League, American Theatre Wing, Actors' Equity, the Dramatists Guild, Stage Directors and Choreographers Society as well as critics from the New York Drama Critics Circle.
