The cast of "Hamilton" will forgo
the use of prop guns in its Tony Awards performance after a massacre at
an Orlando, Florida gay night club that left 50 people dead.
CNN reports: "The cast will instead pantomime during its performance of 'Yorktown (World Turned Upside Down),' which recreates the Battle of Yorktown. The smash-hit musical tells the story of the American Revolution in hip-hop. A representative for 'Hamilton' did not say if the cast would otherwise mark Sunday morning's shooting, which was the worst mass shooting in U.S. history."
“The muskets have been eliminated from tonight’s performance in light of today’s event in Orlando,” Sam Rudy, the show’s spokesman, told Deadline.
