Corden set the tone for the evening by saying, “On behalf of the whole theatre community and every person in this room, our hearts go out to all of those affected by this atrocity.

“All we can say is, you are not on your own right now,” he said. “Your tragedy is our tragedy,” Corden said. “Theatre is a place where every race, creed, sexuality, and gender is equal, is embraced, and is loved.”
