The Tony Awards are back!
It’s time to appreciate the talent and hard work of those working musicals and plays and give them the recognition they deserve. On Sunday, September 26, Leslie Odom Jr. and Audra McDonald co-hosted the ceremony which was postponed several times because of the pandemic.
It was a big night for the grand winners including Moulin Rouge! The Musical and The Inheritance. However, Slave Play, which holds the record in Tonys history for the most number of nominations (12 in total), didn’t do well.
