Last night’s Tony awards were full of epic moments such as Andrew Garfield giving a rousing speech in support of LGBTQ rights while Robert de Niro got a standing ovation for saying 'F**k Trump'. But before those events of the night, Sparky the goat was ruling the red carpet.
The goat, who is one of the many stars from the Broadway hit ‘Once on This Island’, was spotted strutting his stuff while wearing a sweet little bowtie.

He was accompanied by one of the play’s producers, Ken Davenport, and Twitter had a field day with the whole thing.
Sparky the Goat from @OnceIslandBway is living the dream of so many humans by walking @TheTonyAwards red carpet! He looks incredibly dapper in a flawlessly tailored traditional white collar with a black bow tie.

Mind you, the cleanup crew did need to be brought into service afterward, since Sparky did what goats tend to do.
Nothing more iconic than the OOTI goats crapping on the carpet before the #TonyAwards even begin
