Tony Awards nominees get together to meet, greet and say 'Cheese!'

As you scan the crowd, you can pick out stage veterans like five-time Tony winner Angela Lansbury -- who could bring home a record sixth prize in June for "A Little Night Music"-- and Hollywood stars like Scarlett Johansson, who made her Broadway debut in "A View From the Bridge."
