This year’s Tony Awards were some of the most entertaining in a long time. With first-time Tony’s host James Corden leading the night with an epic tribute to theater over the years, to stellar performances from the casts of some of Broadway’s hottest musicals, to groundbreaking acceptance speeches, it was surely a night to remember.
While there were definitely some surprise wins throughout the night, no one was caught off guard when Lin-Manuel Miranda‘s groundbreaking production, “Hamilton,” swept the floor, taking home 11 of the 16 awards it was nominated for — just one short of breaking the record set by “The Producers.”
Now if we could just get tickets…
