Tony Awards 2016 Winners & Pictures
Last night at the 7oth annual theatre celebration for the Tony Awards 2016, Hip Hop musical Hamilton led the race with a record breaking 16 nominations, winning 11 awards, including best musical. The Humans, The Color Purple and A View From the Bridge also took home top honors.
James Corden making his debut as the award’s host opened with a poignant monologue addressing the tragic Orlando shooting, which took place earlier in the day.
“Our hearts go out to all of those affected by this atrocity. 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.”
