Tony Awards 2016: Who Won?!?

The 2016 Tony Awards aired live from New York on Sunday night.


Although host James Corden and company were forced to take a sobering tone due to the tragic Orlando shooting that took place in a gay nightclub just hours prior to the event.

“Our hearts go out to all of those affected by this atrocity,” Corden said to open the ceremony, adding:


“You’re not on your own. Your tragedy is our tragedy. Hate will never win. We have to make sure of that. Tonight’s show stands as a symbol of that principle.”


And that show did have to go on, despite the death of 50 people in Florida.


As expected, the best-reviewed and most popular production in Broadway dominated the winner’s circle.
