The biggest stars of Broadway came together on June 7, 2015 for the 69th Annual Tony Awards held at NYC’s Radio City Music Hall. This year’s awards extravaganza was hosted by Kristin Chenoweth and Alan Cumming who kept the audience entertained with jokes and musical numbers, but the evening was really all about Fun Home and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. Fun Home took home the Best Musical award as well as four other wins, and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time also earned five Tonys including Best Play.
