Featuring heart-pumping musical numbers and a slew of groundbreaking winners, The 67th Annual Tony Awards was the thing to watch on CBS on Sunday night.

With Neil Patrick Harris as the night's emcee at Radio City Music Hall, the best and brightest of Broadway's stars shined. To begin the action was a vibrant opening number, which was quite flashy, according to CBS News.

Harris lead the opener with performers from several musicals, and a tuxedo-wearing Mike Tyson before glitter guns went off to drench the stage in shiny sparkle.

Throw in some incredibly-talented children - the orphans in "Annie" to the dancing toddlers in "A Christmas Story, the Musical" - and presenters from Jake Gyllenhaal to Anna Kendrick to Jesse Eisenberg, as well as musical-savvy performances, audiences were already on top of the world.

And the announcement of winners was just as surprising.

Taking home the top honor for "Best Musical" and five more awards was "Kinky Boots," a lively musical featuring Cyndi Lauper's fun-filled songs. The "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" pop star won her first Tony for "Best Original Score" for writing 15 songs that inspired audiences to dance.

"I want to thank Broadway for welcoming me," she said. "I understand how hard you work...your hard work inspires me."

Christopher Durang's funny fest "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" won for "Best Play," and "Maltilda the Musical" and "Pippin" won four prizes.

Cicely Tyson took home the "Best Actress" award after making her truimphant return to Broadway in Horton Foote's "The Trip to Bountiful," according to CBS News. Tyson, who played a widow with an immense desire to travel the road back home in 1953, gave a long acceptance speech packed with plenty of emotion.

"Pleas wrap it up," said Tyson, referring to the teleprompter. "Well, that's exactly what you did for me: you wrapped me in your arms after 30 years."
