I think the stage manager and tech crew are the real stars of big production numbers like this. All of this would fall flat if the lighting cues, music cues, props or any other bit was missed. Imagine if the wrong people showed up on stage or at the wrong time? Putting something like this on requires extreme split second timing from a huge number of people. NASA has nothing on this!

I'm convinced that NPH has a magical aura around him that causes people to break out into song and dance at his slightest whim, all starting with a pizzicato violin. This wasn't rehearsed, it just happened and they caught it on film by coincidence. Then again I have never met the man but I believe it to be true.
