(NEW YORK) — The acclaimed and sprawling British import Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and the shimmering, American, grown-up musical The Band’s Visit were the big winners at the Tony Awards on Sunday. The Band’s Visit, based on a 2007 Israeli film of the same name about an Egyptian band that goes to the wrong Israeli town, won seven — best direction, orchestration, sound design, best book of a musical, lighting and featured actor Ari’el Stachel, who gave a heartfelt speech about his past. “For so many years of my life I pretended I was not a Middle Eastern person,” he said, addressing his parents in the audience.
