Nobody is doing it like Brooke !
Brooke Shieldslooked gorgeous at theTony Awardson Sunday night.
She was in attendance as a presenter, introducing the show’s In Memoriam segment, which featuredNicole Scherzinger performing “What I Did for Love"fromA Chorus Line.
For Broadway’s biggest night, Brooke wore a yellow Monique Lhuillier gown paired with some unexpected shoes.
Brooke wore Crocs!
She didn’t just put on any pair of Crocs. The actor and Broadway vet wore yellow crocs that perfectly matched her dress.
This wasn’t just a fashion choice but a health one, too.
As Brooke toldExtraon the red carpet, she has “so many stitches” in her feet following a double foot surgery that occurred just three days ago.
“So I’m feeling great,” she told the news outlet. “I got a flask in my purse, got some pain meds in there, [and] I’m going to be good.”
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Friday, Brookeshared a photoof her feet post-surgery, captioning the post, “the feet pics are about to level up… Double foot toe surgery.”

Brooke told theAssociated Presson the red carpet that her “two broken feet” were the result of dancing on Broadway. She added toCBS News, “[I] luckily found Crocs that would go. I couldn’t postpone my surgery. You know, Broadway gave me these broken feet, and now I’m fixing them.”
According toPlaybill, her Broadway credits date back to 1994 when she starred as a replacement Betty Rizzo in a production ofGrease.
Since then, she’s appeared in productions ofChicago,Cabaret,Wonderful Town, andThe Addams Family.
Despite her injuries, Brooke doesn’t seem to have any ill will toward the theater community. In fact, in May,she was elected presidentof the live theater labor union, Actors' Equity.
She also toldExtraat the Tonys, “The Broadway community and theater has welcomed me when others were less welcoming. They always will have a special place in my heart.”
