The Tony Awards took over Radio City Music Hall in New York on Sunday night to honor the best of Broadway.
Notably, Neil Patrick Harris and Sophie Okonedo took home the awards for best performance by a leading actor in a musical for Hedwig and the Angry Inch and best featured actress in a play for A Raisin in the Sun, respectively. Audra McDonald made history by becoming the actress with the most Tony awards ever, after winning the award for best lead actress in a play for her role as Billie Holiday in Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill.
Of course, Twitter was all over theaters biggest night of the year.
Many prepared for the big event.
I have to go to church on Sunday, and by church, I mean watch the #TonyAwards and drink wine.

And Clint Eastwood.
Clint Eastwood has so much gravitas he almost makes you forget about the chair. Almost. #tonyawards
