Dalla consueta cornice del “Radio City Music Hall” di New York, è andata in scena ieri notte l’edizione 2019 dei “Tony Awards” (che sono un po’ l’equivalente degli “Oscar” del teatro), condotta quest’anno ancora da James Corden, che già aveva fatto da padrone di casa nel 2016, protagonista dell’applauditissimo numero corale di apertura.
