Photo Gallery: 2016 Tony Nominees Gather for Press Junket

The 2016 Tony nominations were announced May 3, 2016 (see my assessment here). The next morning, the nominees always gather for a press junket in midtown Manhattan. I was on hand to take photos of many of the stars.

See my separate gallery of the stars of “Hamilton,” the Broadway musical that has taken the city (and the world) by storm.
