Broadway’s brightest stars partied till the wee hours after the Tony Awards legendary party at the Carlye thrown by PR guru Rick Miramontez and producer John Gore.
Nicole Scherzinger — who won the Tony for best lead actress in a musical for her role as Norma Desmond in the revival of “Sunset Blvd.” — was mobbed by well wishers when entering the posh Upper East Side hotel.
A spy tells Page Six that after a few minutes, the former Pussycat Dolls stars head to a secret VIP suite where she “kicked off her shoes and ordered a pizza.”
Jean Smart, who is currently starring in the one woman show “Call Me Izzy,” held court at a table all night, while Mia Farrow, nominated for her role opposite Patti LuPone in “The Roommate,” mingled in the bar with her journalist son Ronan.
Fashion designer Michael Kors was seen dancing by the piano at Bemelmans with former Tonys host Ariana DeBose as Billy Stritch tinkled on the keys and Jim Caruso belted out classics like “New York, New York.”
Also spotted were Tony winner, “Oh Mary!” star Cole Escola, “Cabaret” emcee Adam Lambert, “Sunset Blvd.” lead Tom Francis, and nominee for “John Proctor Is the Villain,” Sadie Sink.
“Dead Outlaw” cast Andrew Durand, Julia Knitel and Jeb Brown hung out in a banquette, while “Fleabag” actor Andrew Scott, who is playing in the solo show “Vanya,” made the rounds at the bar.
Meanwhile, Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, who wrote “Sunset Blvd.,” was spotted being led in via a back door.
Upstairs, guests hit the dance floor at a disco-themed enclave in honor of Lifetime Achievement Award winner Harvey Fierstein. The space was dubbed “The International Stud,” a nod to the first act of “Torch Song Trilogy.”
A source told Page Six, “Those in the know knew the real International Stud was an infamous sex bar in the 1970s.”
Fierstein told us when he took the stage at Radio City to accept the award he felt “kind of numb.”
“It was very moving,” he told us. “You look out and you know all the people. Three quarters of the people you have worked with, you have your friends, your family and I knew my message was going to be about community.”
Fierstein, known for “Hairspray” and “La Cage aux Folles,” said he never wanted to be famous.
“I didn’t start out to be a star. I was just enjoying my life. That’s the way you have to do it,” he said before dashing out the door telling us, “I’m a busy queen.”
Others stayed at the party much later with Gore hosting after-after-hours in the Presidential Suite where omelets and champagne were served.
A very tired spy told us the last guests left at 7 a.m.
Meanwhile, we hear that earlier in the night there was a “speakeasy” inside Radio City Music Hall where stars pregamed.
Sneaking a sip in Baccarat crystal were Cynthia Erivo, members of the original cast of “Hamilton,” Bob Odenkirk, Charli D’Amelio and Brooke Shields who, we’re told “was spotted slipping a bottle of Dewar’s into her gown with a wink, declaring she wasn’t heading into the ceremony empty-handed.”
