Your 2017 Tony Awards Winners Are….

The 71st Annual Tony Awards were handed out in New York City last night, with a bevy of surprises and exiting moments. If you remember the movie ‘Pitch Perfect,’ a young nerdy actor played the part of Benji, the roommate of Jesse, the leading man. That actor’s name is Ben Platt, and it wasn’t much of a role.

Well, Ben proved to be more than a supporting star in last night’s awards, hosted by Kevin Spacey. His project ‘Dear Evan Hansen’ walked away with six Tony’s, while Bette Midler and ‘Hello Dolly’ earned four.
