Dear Evan Hansen has won big at this year's Tony Awards, the highest U.S. theater honor that recognizes excellence in live Broadway theatre. The musical snagged the Tony for Best Musical on Sunday, June 11.

Oslo, Come From Away, and the Hello, Dolly! Revival, among others, also won big this year.

Oscar and Tony-winning actor and House of Cards star Kevin Spacey hosted this year's ceremony, kicking the show off with comedy. Spacey joked, as did Neil Patrick Harris when he hosted the show years ago, that he wasn't the first choice to host this year's awards show. Cue late night talk show host Stephen Colbert, who entered the stage as the groundhog from the production of Groundhog Day, there to give Spacey hosting advice.

"Just read the prompter," sang Colbert. "Hey, even Steve Harvey would be okay. You're no dope. Never give up hope. Never let yourself be defeated."

Hollywood stars Whoopi Goldberg and Billy Crystal soon followed Colbert, arming Spacey with hosting advice aplenty.

"Kevin, if all else fails, put on a dress," said Crystal.

71st Tony Awards

This year's most nominated play, an adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace titled Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812, snagged two awards out of 12 nominations, while Hello, Dolly! reaped four awards from 10 nominations.

Dear Evan Hansen won big with six awards out of nine. An original musical by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, Dear Evan Hansen opened in December 2016, featuring the titular character Evan, a high school senior with social anxiety disorder. The New York Times called it a "daringly unflinching exploration of loss, lies and loneliness in a high school community."

Oslo, The Little Foxes, and Indecent each came home with two Tony awards; while A Doll's House, Part 2, Jitney, Present Laughter, Bandstand, The Play That Goes Wrong, and Come From Away each received one.
