Best Tony tweets, pictures from behind-the-scenes

Twitter was big at the Tonys as people were tweeting from the red carpet, backstage, the media room, the audience and then the after-parties.

A few of the highlights:

@Janefonda Elton http://twitpic.com/6vdgv #Tonys

@PlaybillMag Bret michaels just got taken out by a piece of scenery. He’s ok but wow #tonys

@RockOfAges RT @skeappock Don’t worry rockfans. Brett’s ok. Just wanted his cowboy hat back!!

@TheTonyAwards @markindelicato w/ rock legend Brett Michaels after being decapitated onstage! He looks great tho! http://mypict.me/2YqL

@columbiajames How us TV press get to watch the awards. #tonys http://twitpic.com/6vd7w

@StageDoorOnline #Tonys Award winner Angela Lansbury says she would love to work with James Gondolfini. I smell a Sopranos musical.

iPhillyChitChat #tonys angela looked great. Someone asked her to kiss the Tony so they could get a photo, no respose and others booed her.

@jimaize Neil patrick Harris is doing magic tricks at the commercial break. #adorable #Tonys

@WestSideStry We are literally waiting on a hot bus until they let us into the theatre…how glam! LOL…#tonys

@GrahamNY Sweating profusely in the wings waiting to go on for ‘Rockin’ the Boat’. Marcia Gay Harden having double sided tape applied to dress #tony’s

@Janefonda For me it felt like a prize just getting to this. Janet Mcteer and I will now go have some vodkas with impunity #Tonys

@JamesMarino The Billys have to give their Tony Award back. (They get the real engraved ones later in the week.) :-) #tonys

@BillyElliot Bobby Flay is cooking at the after party! http://yfrog.com/5bszqj #tonys

@RyanOConnor You can’t call @RockofAges sore losers!! They are partying like the swept!! Good for them!

@RockOfAges http://twitpic.com/6vtlr - The decor is hot! We just heard that Bret Michaels can’t make it to party…he’s hurt.

@vfagenda Inside, Norman Conquests cast dancing to Prince. Sorry West Side Story cast, tonight’s best dancing award goes to the Norman cast.

@Kimberly_Kaye Bret Michaels getting laid-out onstage by set piece at the #Tonys was highlight of my night. Does this make me a bad person/NJ native?
