Tony Awards 2016: The Complete Winners List
Hamilton dominated the Tony Awards tonight with 11 wins including Best Musical, and The Humans took four including Best Play during the ceremony hosted by James Corden at the Beacon Theatre in Manhattan. The Color Purple scored the hardware for Best Revival of a Musical, and A View From the Bridge won Best Revival of a Play. They and Long Day’s Journey Into Night were the only other multiple winners on the night, with two each.
For the first time in the Tonys’ 70-year history, all for winners for acting in a musical were African-American. The complete list of winners is below.
The Broadway community had a heavy heart as it handed out its trophies tonight. Nominees, presenters, fans and the rest of the country were thinking about the victims of the horrific mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando early this morning. Corden addressed the tragedy during his opening monologue.
Hamilton came in with a record-breaking 16 nominations, and Shuffle Along was next with 10 but got shut out.
