'Kinky Boots' was the big winner at the Tony Awards last night (09.06.13) taking home six prizes.

The play - about a struggling shoemaker and his drag queen business partner which is based on a 2005 movie - earned accolades for first time stage composer Cyndi Lauper, who took home the statuette for Best Original Score Written For The Theatre, and Billy Porter, who received the Best Performance By An Actor In A Leading Role In A Musical gong. Among its other honours it was also named Best Musical.

Neil Patrick Harris plans to ''jump through hoops'' to make the 2013 Tony Awards tonight (09.06.13) the most entertaining yet.

The 'How I Met Your Mother' star, who is presenting the ceremony at New York City's Radio City Music Hall for the fourth time, urged fans to tune into the 67th annual show, which recognises excellence in Broadway theatre, because there will be a lot of ''fun surprises.''
