Un trionfo annunciato.
Hamilton, musical dei record che sta sbancando Broadway con sold out a ripetizione e quasi un miliardo di dollari d’incasso, ha dominato i Tony Awards 2016, Oscar del teatro, con 11 statuette vinte su 16 nomination (record).
Lin-Manuel Miranda, sempre più lanciato anche ad Hollywood, è diventato una sorta di divinità teatrale, con la 70esima edizione segnata da un’altra prima volta: tutti gli attori premiati per un musical sono afroamericani.
Academy, guarda e impara.
Tra i vincitori anche la divina Jessica Lange, che ha così in qualche modo motivato il suo addio tv ad American Horror Story, e quel Colore Viola che aveva perso Jennifer Hudson per strada, per un’edizione presentata dal grande James Corden.
Con immancabile divino numero d’apertura.
