The Tony Awards Show Will Be Dedicated to the Orlando Victims, Survivors, Families

Share

The Tony Awards will go on tonight as planned, but look for host James Corden to dedicate the evening to the Orlando victims, survivors, and families. The Tonys just Tweeted as much, and it’s sure to be a somber occasion especially with so much of the LGBT community a huge part of the theater. What I’d like to see is guests and celebs talking about stopping gun violence now. How can this go on and on? It’s beyond unacceptable.
