Sometimes there are trends in popular culture, but one recurring theme at the 2017 Tony Awards is partially the result of an accident. Why are people wearing casts at the Tony Awards? Kevin Spacey wore a cast on his arm and his leg as kind of a Broad…

As a lyric in Lin-Manuel Miranda's Emmy-winning song for the 2013 Tony Awards said, "There's a kid in the middle of nowhere who's sitting there living for Tony performances ... all of us up here tonight, we were that kid." At the 2017 Tony Awards, Ra…

Award shows and their acceptance speeches are ripe nowadays for political commentary (which I highly support), and the Tonys were no exception — when accepting her award for Best Featured Actress In A Musical, Cynthia Nixon's Tonys speech encouraged …

The 2017 Tony Awards got off to a fittingly theatrical start with host Kevin Spacey's opening musical number, which took a tour of the best musicals and plays of the year. Meanwhile, Spacey worried — in song — that he might not be a good enough host …

Kevin Spacey is a man of many talents. He's an acclaimed actor, most recently in the spotlight for his Emmy-winning role of Frank Underwood on the Netflix Whitehouse drama House Of Cards, and has been in the business since the '80s. Still, many were …

It may be nearly impossible to get tickets for this year's Tony-winning Best Musical, Hamilton, and, yes, the already confirmed Hamilton film may still be years off. But that doesn't mean that fans need to sit back and wait for the craze to die down…

On June 12th, Leslie Odom Jr. snagged the Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Musical for his role as Aaron Burr in the record-breaking musical, Hamilton. But, with the Tonys now in the past, it now seems as if the show's creator, Lin Manuel-Miran…

Newly minted Tony-award winner and Hamilton star Renée Elise Goldsberry was all tears and appreciation during Sunday night's awards show. The 45-year-old actress broke down during her acceptance speech for Best Actress in a Featured Role to reveal th…
