The legend that is Cicely Tyson went home with a Tony Award last night for her performance in The Trip To Bountiful. She truly deserved this award. It was her first nomination and I think we all knew it was going to be her first win. We salute her in her ability to take on such an amazing role with ease and grace. Her acceptance speech touched the lives of many and will be a moment in theatre history that we will never forget. Listen to Cicely tell her story and her thank yous below.
