” The gala is not only Hamilton. there will also be advertising breaks. ” The words of James Corden, host of this Annual Tony were really prescient of the results of the night. “Hamilton” won 11 Tony Awards, staying close to breaking the record, but making history.

But beyond the awards, gestures of solidarity with the affected by the slaughter of Orlando were present throughout the gala. The ceremony was dedicated to the victims officially, and those attending the gala wore a tie to show support. Among other gestures, the cast of Hamilton has dispensed with its usual muskets during the performance of one of its musical numbers and the doors of the Beacon Theatre in New York, the “MomsDemandAction” group has gathered to demand an end to gun violence .
“Love is love is love is love is love …!” Through tears, Lin-Manuel Miranda exclaimed the slogan of solidarity that has flooded social networks during Sunday. It has done so after winning the award for Best Soundtrack, who thanked with an emotional sonnet dedicated to his wife.
comments supporting victims staged the red carpet, although discreetly. Jesse Tyler Ferguson is the one who has passed one of the messages most inspiring for the LGBT community: “It had Tony to give me strength and hope as a child, and hopefully we can give that today the nation,” says the actor of “Modern Family” before entering the theater.
diversity has been one of the great topics of conversation. “The Tony are like the Oscars, but with diversity,” said presenter James Corden in his opening speech. “We are so diverse, that Trump has threatened to build a wall around the theater.” And it is that Broadway has become an example to the world of entertainment, with nominees from all possible sources, and also for the disabled, with a fragment of the play “Spring Awakening” interpreted in sign language.
what has been somewhat controversial has been the joke of Emilio Estefan just before the performance of “on Your Feet” Gloria Estefan: “they asked me to tell all actors ‘on Your Feet’ have papers are.. legal, “it was his comment, that some have not been able to interpret.
Hillary Clinton had to be another topic of conversation. Glenn Close has been charged with interpreting it in a small skit in which he said: “I really need this job,” (I really need this job) between laughter from the audience. A few seconds before appeared a version of Donald Trump as a character in “The Book of Moron” ( ‘The Book of Idiot,’ in Spanish), a pun with the musical “The Book of Mormon.”
Politics aside, overnight has reigned the spirit of pursuing dreams. One of the most memorable musical numbers from the night showed several children who later became nominees, with an accomplished fact. “Could you be” sung James Corden
His “car pool,” series of videos in which Corden leads accompanied by celebrities, has not missed. This time they have come up with him in his car Lin-Manuel Miranda, Audra McDonald, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Jane Krakowski, playing a remix of musical hits.
But above all, has been the night “Hamilton”. Barack and Michelle Obama have been, nothing more and nothing less, those who submitted the performance of Miranda and the cast of the musical. “rap is the language of revolution … a musical about the miracle that is America … a place on the inclusion, on the opportunity, “have said Barack and Michelle Obama in a prerecorded message During performance.” Hamilton, “the phrase was:”. the immigrants do the work “
Among the other winners, he highlighted “the Humans” as Best Play, and performers of “the Color Purple”. Cynthia Erivo, star of “the Color Purple” and awarded a Tony for his work, has jumped on the stage with his voice cracking with emotion, although it was only a few minutes had filled the theater with its breathtaking musical performance.
In the words of Barbra Streisand, who has returned to the scene of Tony after 40 years. “Art can entertain, and at times like today, comfort”
