During the song "It's A Hit!!", one of the lyrics is, "Will their faces be stony / When they see on their Sony / Someone handing the phony the Tony Award!" In the scene, the award is handed to Jonathan Groff's character, Franklin Shepard, which is met with rapturous applause from the audience. Groff then hands the prop Tony to Lindsay Mendez, who passes it off to Daniel Radcliffe, which earns more applause from the audience.
