STAGE TUBE: Neil Patrick Harris Performs on New Disney Cruise Ship

Emmy Award winner and Broadway star Neil Patrick Harris participated in an all-star event to christen the new Disney cruise ship "Fantasy" in New York City last night. Also on hand at the event were comedian Jerry Seinfeld, New York's Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Mariah Carey, who had the honor of christening the ship. The event took place at a Hudson River pier on the west side of Manhattan.
