Bette Midler e Kevin Kline dominano ai Tony Awards 2017

Nella notte più importante per il teatro americano lo show dei Tony Awards 2017 è dominato dalla brillante conduzione del premio Oscar Kevin Spacey e da alcuni vincitori che hanno più di una volta rubato la scena al prestigioso conduttore.

Tra i premiati infatti anche star del palcoscenico e del piccolo e grande schermo come Bette Midler, Kevin Kline e Cynthia Nixon; nella sezione musical a trionfare è stato Dear Evan Hansen con sei riconoscimenti, a cui segue il revival musicale con protagonista proprio la Midler Hello Dolly.

Sul fronte più strettamente drammaturgico a vincere il prestigioso riconoscimento per il miglior allestimento teatrale è stato Oslo.
