'Once' in a lifetime night at 2012 Tony Awards; 'Clybourne Park' wins best play

Broadway fell fast for "Once," the melancholy but moving movie-to-musical about a lovelorn Irish street musician and his Czech guardian angel, which scooped Disney's chirpier "Newsies: The Musical" for the award for best musical at the 2012 Tony Awards. Meanwhile "Clybourne Park," Bruce Norris' prismatic,Pulitzer Prize-winning drama about race and real estate on Chicago's complex North Side closed on the Tony for best play.
