It's Elaine's annual preview of the Tony Awards, which celebrate the best of Broadway.

EP runs through some of the major awards which include: Billy Elliot: The Musical, Next to Normal, Rock of Ages and 'Shrek The Musical'. Plus, actress Maria Friedman stops by to discuss her latest musical: 'The King and I'. Maria also performs a song from the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein show in the studio. And, there's the regular 'Break-a-Leg' messages and Malcolm's Big one.
