This year’s Tonys was hosted by the multi-talented Kevin Spacey, who no doubt kicked off the night in style:
Apart from boasting the highest charting cast album since 1961, Dear Evan Hansen now adds the title of Best Musical in 2017 to its name as it wins the coveted award at the 71st Tonys. The musical was also the biggest winner of the night, taking home six awards. Hello Dolly, too, held its own, bagging Best Musical Revival, with Bette Midler scoring herself the Best Leading Actress in a Musical award.
