7 Heartbreaking Moments Missed At The 2016 Tony Awards — Find Out What Happened

The saying "the show must go on" in show business rang true at the Tony Awards on June 12.

As Star previously reported, the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history took place less than 24 hours before the awards ceremony.

As of June 13, 49 people are reported dead, and at least 53 are reported wounded.

As news of the tragedy broke, the official Tony Awards Twitter account announced that the ceremony would go on in "dedication to those affected by the events in Orlando."

The night's attendees wore silver ribbons in honor of the victims — and the tributes didn't stop there.

James Corden opened the show with a monologue addressing the tragedy, saying, "All around the world, people are trying to come to terms with the horrific events that took place in Orlando this morning. On behalf of the whole theater community and every person in this room, our hearts go out to all of those affected by this atrocity. All we can say is that you are not on your own right now, your tragedy is our tragedy. Theater is a place where every race, creed, sexuality, and gender is equal, is embraced, and is loved. Hate will never win. Together, we have to make sure of that. Tonight's show stands as a symbol and a celebration of that principle. This is the Tony Awards."

Former Tonys host— and LGBT advocate — Neil Patrick Harris attended the event to support Hamilton as well.

The show's star Lin-Manuel Miranda dedicated his acceptance speech for Best Original Score to the shooting as well, saying, "When senseless acts of tragedy reminds us that nothing here is promised. Not one day. This show is proof that history remembers, we live through times when hate and fear seem stronger, we rise and fall and light from dying embers, remembrances that hope and love last longer. Love is love is love is love is love, and love cannot be killed or swept aside. Fill the world with music, love and pride."

Frank Langhella also addressed the tragedy, saying, "I urge you Orlando to be strong. I'm standing in a room full of the most generous human beings on earth and we will be with you every step of the way."
