The 71st Annual Tony Awards came and went, and they delivered. It was truly an exciting and inspiring night. As always, theater geeks all around the world watched the long awaited celebration of Broadway and its most talented individuals. Here are some reactions that just about all of us must have had throughout the evening:

1.Who knew Kevin Spacey could sing?


You probably didn't know what to expect of this new Tony Host, but his star-studded opening was yet another great start to the show.

2. Steven Colbert can pretty much sing...

I mean, he is clearly no Ben Platt, but he was entertaining of course.

3. Why is Broadway filled with so many talented people?

Broadway's diversity and talent were showcased through Come From Away's amazing performance.

4. How do they all manage to look so happy after losing?

It's amazing how each and every nominee seemed truly happy for whoever won. I mean, just look at Mike Faist.

5. What exactly is Whoopi Goldberg wearing?

Twitter had plenty to say about that. Was it dementor inspired? Vampire cape vibes? Whatever it was, it was different, but admittedly still pretty cool.

6. Put Falsettos on Spotify already

While you're at it, get the cast together and film the show. Cast albums don't include Andrew Rannells in short shorts. Oh wait, they DID film it and it will hit theaters starting July 12!

7. YES Dear Evan Hansen

Pretty much the Hamilton of 2017. I love Dear Evan Hansen, you love Dear Evan Hansen, and the performance was just what we all needed. The numerous Tonys that it received were no surprise.

8. That Hillary Clinton/Evan Hansen email joke, though...

You have to admit that it was pretty funny. While the Clinton jokes were good, Ben Platt's reactions were even better.

9. I definitely understand why everyone loves Josh Groban

Groban and the cast of Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 killed it on stage. It was yet another example of the beauty of theater.

10. They are clearly attempting to satisfy the Hamilfans

Appearances by Brian d’Arcy James, Christopher Jackson, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Jonathan Groff kept a smile on the face of those whose definition of theater is Hamilton.

11. Hey, it's Jill Biden

Joe Biden, too! I wonder when Donald Trump will start supporting theater...

12. JONATHAN GROFF!

Sorry, I just love Jonathan Groff. He didn't talk much, but still, who doesn't love Groffsauce?

13. Uh-oh. Hello, Dolly! won.

Hello, Dolly! won Best Revival of a Musical, which I'm sure they deserved, but I can practically hear the obsessive Falsettos fans whining about it.

14. I'm not crying, you're crying

What is it about Ben Platt that makes everyone adore him? I'm not sure. Probably just about everything.

15. I. Love. Theater.

Watching the Tony Awards is always an awesome experience. Whether your favorite shows and individuals win or loose, it's impossible to turn off the TV without a smile on your face and a happy heart.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
