History had its eyes on the Beacon Theatre on June 12! The Tony-winning Carpool Karaoke king himself, James Corden, hosted the 70th Annual Tony Awards and Broadway.com Resident Artist Justin “Squigs” Robertson was on hand to pen a portrait of the celebration. There are all the acting winners: Cynthia Erivo, Jessica Lange, Leslie Odom Jr., Frank Langella, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Daveed Diggs, Jayne Houdyshell and Reed Birney, along with all the winning musicals and plays, as well as Barbra Streisand, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Steve Martin, Edie Brickell, Sara Bareilles, James Corden and little James Corden. A true snapshot of the room where it happened!
About the Artist: With a desire to celebrate the magic of live theater and those who create it, and with a deep reverence for such touchstones as the work of Al Hirschfeld and the wall at Sardi’s, Squigs is happy and grateful to be among those carrying on the traditions where theater and caricature meet. He was born and raised in Oregon, lived in Los Angeles for quite a long time and now calls New York City his home.
