The Winner is….

(That’s right, we were in New Jersey yesterday because we all had to be in New York last night for the Tony awards!)

The Tony’s became something more than a celebration—it became a moment etched in Broadway history, as Baxter took the stage again and again to accept a sweep of honors: Best Actor in a Musical, Best Original Score, and the coveted Best Musical for Baxter Wiff a B.

The audience leapt to its feet as the little star in his custom tux—with a sparkling “B” stitched over the heart—climbed up to the podium, visibly moved, whiskers trembling.

When accepting Best Actor, Baxter beamed:

“I came to this city wiff a song in my heart, crumbs in my pocket, and four brothers beside me. But this—this moment—isn’t mine alone. I share it wiff ebery dreamer who’s eber snuck into a rehearsal room fru a vent and dared to beliebe.”

But it was his final acceptance, for Best Musical, that brought the entire room to a hush.

“This show began wiff a whisper in the back of a café, and the steady hand ob someone who always beliebed in me and my dream.

Waffles… my brother, my director, my heart—is not here in the seat I wish he was tonight. But he is here. In ebery spotlight. Ebery note. Ebery scene. Wiffout his bision, his elegance, his endless encouragement—there is no show. His words ob wisdom will resinate wiff me foreber – to always lead wiff love.

And to all ob my brothers—we did this together. Fish’s choreogaphy made the whole show come alibe, Barry kept everyfing on track as our stage manager (eben wiffout coffee), and Reuben—Reuben handled ticket sales and public relations kept ebery seat filled for ebery last performance. We each had a part in this. This is our story.”

The camera cut to the front row, where Barry dabbed his eyes behind his playbill, Reuben held Fish close, and the three sat together in quiet pride. Backstage, a table of tiny fruit tarts and cheese platters waited, untouched.

It was more than a victory. It was a tribute—a shining, heartfelt curtain call shared between stars: one standing tall in the spotlight, and one forever watching from the wings.
