Last night, the 2018 Tony Awards brought together Broadway‘s biggest stars of the season for an unforgettable night of performances and top honors. Hosts Sara Bareilles and Josh Groban entertained crowds as many first-time winners picked up their Tonys at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Shows like Angels In America, The Band’s Visit, and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts One and Two had an incredible evening, picking up the majority of trophies across disciplines. (Celeb Secrets predicted many of these victors, but we too were left with quite a few surprises!)
