"Look around, look around, at how lucky we are to be alive right now." This line comes from the popular new show "Hamilton: An American Musical," and perfectly encompasses this most recent Tony Awards show. After controversy arose during the Oscars earlier this year for being "too white," the Tony's earned the nickname "The Oscars, but with Diversity."

Four of the winning actors were of color: Daveed Diggs won Best Featured Actor in a Musical for his role as Marquis de Lafayette/Thomas Jefferson in "Hamilton", Renée Elise Goldsberry won Best Featured Actress in a Musical for her role as Angelica Schulyer in "Hamilton", Cynthia Erivo won Best Lead Actress in a Musical for her role as Celie in "The Color Purple", and Leslie Odom, Jr. won Best Lead Actor in a Musical for his role as Aaron Burr in "Hamilton". Paul Tazewell also won the award for Best Costume Design of a Musical for his work on "Hamilton".

The Tony Awards were a calm during a week of horror and stress among the nation. James Corden, the host of the show, started off the evening talking to the camera with his back to the theater about the tragedy in Orlando earlier that week. He tells the people that theater is meant to bring people together and the community will stand with the victims and the nation in support. His staging takes away the glamor of the evening and makes the message personal to those watching. It is completely one-on-one so that America knows that we the people are important and stand as one.

Among the funnier events of the evening, Corden and a few other stars decided to take jabs at the big political candidates in the presidential race. Andrew Rannells and Glenn Close came out dressed as Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton to sing a few numbers from "new" Broadway shows, joking about what really is going through their minds. "The Book of Moron" will tell the story of a candidate going door to door telling people about his plan to build a wall through their homes. "A Clinton Line" informs us that Hilary Clinton just really needs this job.

And there was also the phenomenon of "Hamilton" running through the audience. James Corden went up to speak to his parents during the show and his father mentioned hearing about the musical as his take on the night. The show swept the board that night, taking away Tonys for 11 out of it's 16 nominations. The show was created by Lin-Manuel Miranda who won Tony Awards for Best Original Score and Best Book of a Musical this year, both for "Hamilton". He reached everyone's hearts by reading sonnets he wrote as his acceptance speeches, repeating the line "Love is love, is love, is love, is love..." Miranda was also nominated for Best Lead Actor in a Musical for his role as Alexander Hamilton.

"Hamilton: An American Musical" tells the story of Alexander Hamilton and his rise from immigrant to founding father in the beginning of American history. The timeline of the show starts in 1776 when Alexander Hamilton meets Aaron Burr in New York City and ends with Hamilton being shot by Burr in 1804 in New Jersey. The musical is unique in its use of rap and hip hop to tell the story of a historical figure and cover important parts of American history. It is educational because it teaches kids about the founding of America, the founding fathers, and the creation of Hamilton's financial plan. "Hamilton" is a groundbreaking story created by genius minds which helps attract new people to the theater and show the world how unique and important the theater world is.

The 2016 Tony Awards were a special show this year for many reasons, one of the big ones being the community feeling it brought to the viewers. Corden and the other guests of the awards showed the nation their joint support for the Pulse Victims by wearing silver ribbons in their honor. They brought laughter to the show by making jokes about political campaigns and the stress they have been giving the country. The talented stars gave previews of the work they have done over the years by performing musical numbers. Multiple people of color won awards for their amazing talent and showed critics that diversity is important and everyone has something special in them.
