The Orlando shootings were top of mind in other parts of the ceremony as well. Nominees and other attendees sported silver ribbons to acknowledge the tragedy, and producers of ???Hamilton??? chose to drop the use of musket props from its telecast performance of the song ???Yorktown (The World Turns Upside-Down).??? Barbra Streisand, handing out the new musical Tony to ???Hamilton,??? noted, ???Tonight our joy is tinged with sorrow.???
The 70th Annual Tony Awards may go down in history for multiple reasons ??? not only because of the awards' spotlight on the game-changing??Hamilton??but for the Broadway community’s heartfelt??response??to the??Pulse nightclub shooting??in Orlando.
In the middle of all the tragedy and celebration,??Hamilton??stood out as the evening’s dominant force,??nabbing 11 awards??including Best Musical. But with??Hamilton??achieving a near shutout in the musical categories, and attention in the play categories divided between several acclaimed revivals and one lauded newcomer, the Tonys also served up plenty of disappointments.
Here are our picks for the night’s real winners and losers, whether they took home a trophy or not.
Winner:??Hamilton
