Last night was Broadway's biggest night: the Tony Awards! Hosted by Kevin Spacey, the ceremony honored the best of Broadway's 2016 - 2017 season. With performances from all of the nominated musicals, and presentations from all of the nominated plays, last night was a brilliant celebration of a season that was busier than any in Broadway's history. Dear Evan Hansen and Hello, Dolly! took home the most trophies, including Best Musical and Best Revival of a Musical, respectively. They weren't the only winners, however, since the Tonys were also able to spread the love this year, sending trophies home with twelve different productions.
