Kevin Spacey Added a New Celebrity Impression to His Arsenal: Fred Astaire

The 2017 Tony Awards were last night, and despite it being a highly competitive Broadway season, things went more or less as predicted. Andy Blankenbuehler took home yet another Tony for Best Choreography after the cast of Bandstand showed everyone exactly why he deserved it (and, of course, the award was announced during a commercial break). Ben Platt broke everyone’s hearts with his live performance of “Waving Through a Window” before going on to take Best Actor in a Musical for Dear Evan Hansen. Bette Midler didn’t sing but did finally get a Tony Award for acting (and refused to let anyone rush her long-awaited acceptance speech). Josh Groban and the cast of Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 went all in for the final performance of the night. Dear Evan Hansen took home Best New Musical, while Come From Away, which was neck-in-neck for the big prize, got Best Direction of a Musical.

What we really, really weren’t expecting: host Kevin Spacey singing and dancing through the first ten minutes of the ceremony.

Not only did Spacey channel Platt, Groundhog Day‘s Andy Karl and Groban to parody their respective musicals and poke fun at how difficult it was for the Tonys to find a host this year, he also stole the show by ending the number a la Fred Astaire, complete with cane, top hat, tails and tap shoes. Did he look like he was trying really, really hard? Yes. Did he carry it off rather well anyway? Definitely.

The full video is below. We stand corrected: Spacey can be a song-and-dance man.
