Greg Jbara IS extremely nice. He gave us a tour of the theatre after his performance of Billy Elliott, then went out to dinner with his wife and two kids between matinee and evening performances. Funny thing, while walking to the restaurant, we bumped into his ex-wife, Rebecca Luker, her husband Danny Burstein, and their two kids.
We saw him again during a friend's wedding and chatted for a while.

Though it wasn't a surprise, I'd have to say Linda Lavin's win for Broadway Bound. The cheers from the tony audience said it all. She had given one of the great performances in the American theatre. A close second would be Gleason's win for Into the Woods, because the exquisite portrayal of an everywoman by a leading actress in a musical - a tradition known for iconic, twice as big as life characters - was justly recognized for what it was: perfection.
