At the Tonys, Tony Awards!!

I accidentally deleted my last blog, so I made another just like the first!
I haven't blogged in a while, so I at first find myself with a new blog but without a topic.
Then I remember that the Tony's were on a few weeks ago and how much of a theater dork I am...

The Tony Awards are the equivalent of the Oscars. Instead of awards for movies, the awards are for either musicals or plays and all the people that help to make them happen. The awards include famous stars presenting and live performances. This year, almost (if not all) the nominees came from shows that are all fresh on Broadway. Every show has something different, and every year I want to see all every single one.

In my other blog, I did a post with the list of the 2010 Oscar winners, and so, here's the winners of the Tony Awards for 2010!
