\n<\/p>\n
Students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, which four months ago was the site of a deadly school shooting that took the lives of 17 of their classmates and injured 17 others, performed \u201cSeasons of Love\u201d from Rent last night at the 2018 Tony Awards and had many audience members (and no doubt many at home) in tears.<\/p>\n
The WaPo reports<\/a>: \u2018The students were introduced by former \u201cGlee\u201d star Matthew Morrison, who recalled performing with some of them at a benefit concert two months ago. \u201cFor us it was a life changing experience to see these inspiring young people channeling their intense feelings of hurt and rage and sorrow into art,\u201d Morrison said.\u00a0One of the students, Tanzil Philip, then reached out to the awards show and asked to be on the telecast to thank the Broadway community, Morrison said, quoting a letter Philip had written.\u00a0\u201cThe Broadway community showed up in our time of need and brought some much needed light into the dark,\u201d Philip wrote.\u2019<\/p>\n The post Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Students Perform \u2018Seasons of Love\u2019 from \u2018Rent\u2019 at the Tony Awards: WATCH<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\nREAD THIS NEXT:\u00a0The Grit and Heart of the 2018 Tony Award Winners Show Theatre Is More Relevant Than Ever: RECAP<\/a><\/em><\/h2>\n
