If 2018 were a Broadway musical, what would it be called? Josmar Taveras, USA TODAY
The Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School drama department received a standing ovation at Sunday’s Tony Awards.
The crowd was full of emotion after the rousing rendition of Seasons of Love from the Broadway musical Rent by the students from the Parkland, Fla., high school as a surprise to drama teacher Melody Herzfeld, who protected her students during the school shooting in February.
After an introduction from Glee star Matthew Morrison, the students took the stage to honor Herzfeld’s win for the excellence in theater education prize during the awards, singing the familiar refrain from the popular musical number.
