History certainly had its eyes on the Tonys this year, as Hamilton had a shot at breaking The Producers’ record of 12 Tony Awards. Though Hamilton ultimately fell short, the musical still dominated the ceremony, cleaning up with 11 Tonys in total, including acting wins for cast members Leslie Odom Jr., Daveed Diggs, and Renée Elise Goldsberry.
