"When something bad happens we have three choices: we can let it define us, we can let it destroy us, or we let it strengthen us," said Frank Langella, Tony Award winner for Best Leading Actor in a Play in Sunday's broadcast of the 70th Tony Awards in New York City.

And we're so glad he talked about it.
The Tony Awards brought so much joy on a day we would rather forget. The theatrical arts have always brought laughter, love and peace to audiences for decades. This tradition hasn't vanished from the stage, and I don't think it ever will disappear from Broadway. Sunday's airing of the Tony Awards proves that music and lyrics are healing hands for audiences of all ages.
I could include a list of all of the winners, but instead I will provide the link to my Storify recap of the Tony Awards. I followed Twitter conversations during Sunday's broadcast, engaged with other theatrical fans and provided my own comments about the ceremony in a live-tweeting session.

It was so wonderful to see so many people sharing their love for the musical performances, as well as their thoughts on how the award ceremony has brought laughter and enjoyment to their lives on such a devastating day. Many of the acceptance speeches were humble and kind, intelligent and wise, and sophisticated blended with sincerity.
Thank you, Tonys, for bringing the magic on a day the lights went out across the world.
