The cast of Broadway smash “Hamilton” will not be using prop muskets during their Tony Awards performance tonight after the deadly shooting at an Orlando, Fla., gay nightclub early Sunday Morning.
New York Times theater reporter Michael Paulson first reported that “Hamilton,” which is up for a record 16 Tonys, will not use the muskets on CBS’ Tonys broadcast tonight. The show takes place partly during the Revolutionary War, and some songs require the use of soldiers with weapons.
