Andrew Garfield, Jessica Chastain, more crammed in Tony’s carpet holding pen


The who’s who of the Broadway world were squished together in a small holding pen while waiting to walk the red carpet at the 75th Tony Awards.

Andrew Garfield, Jessica Chastain, and Sarah Paulson were among the celebs who crammed into a tiny corner outside Radio City Music Hall Sunday evening.

“Grey’s Anatomy” star Jesse Williams, Zach Braff, and Billy Porter were just a few of the names stood near each other while A-lister Samuel L. Jackson was scolded by a security guard for leaning against a guard rail in the crowded street corner.

Broadway legend Chita Rivera, 89, was also seen patiently waiting nearby, while Bryan Cranston, Bernadette Peters, and Lin-Manuel Miranda were escorted to the front of the pack.

The “Spider-Man: No Way Home” star waited almost 30 minutes to have his photo taken on the carpet, chatting away to Chastain before waving to his “Tick Tick Boom” co-star, Vanessa Hudgens.

The “High School Musical” alum initially skipped the carpet, but returned to the waiting pen to snap selfies with a pal as reporters and photographers started packing up.

Sarah Silverman was thrilled to see Patti LuPone, who later took home an award for her role in “Company,” giving her a big hug and telling her she loved her outfit.

“It’s f**king huge,” Rockwell exclaimed.
