Parkland Students sing "Season of Love" from RENT at the 2018 Tony Awards

[@JRIJR75]

The Tonys should bring a group of young people on every year. Share the love, help inspire and let youth know their talents are appreciated.

[@armygirl85fuckhitler74]

Yes!!! Broadway also needs to be available to younger generations

[@PolyBiBadger]

This was a beautiful performance, I felt tears in my eyes as they performed. I want to take a master class with Matthew Morrison so I can thank him for everything he’s (and his character on Glee) done for me.

[@masteroogway8916]

huzaifa Gujjar wtf

[@bethanney0825]

huzaifa Gujjar ur fucked up 🗿🗿

[@jimpanza1]

I have to say I am so glad that they did this. These kids deserve this. I also am so glad they chose this song. I think Jonathan Larson who wrote the song and passed away before he could see the actual public performance of it would be so happy to see this and would be there at the Tony awards. He might even be up there singing with those students. Thanks Tony's for doing this. Theater is a great thing for all people and should be supported for all ages.

[@nothingfornothing1836]

Imagine being able to preform at the tonys, like just imagine

[@iamcorinward]

Shame they had to go through something horrific to get to do it though :'(

[@lenniedavis1294]

Right

[@charliep123]

Was Matthew actually a teacher or was he talking about Glee?

[@FayeJones]

Lydia! At The Disco I’m pretty sure it was glee but I could be wrong. He could have been both

[@okidoki4516]

He teaches masterclasses I think

[@katiecarrot31]

He was talking about glee

Am I the only one who can never get through the first verse of this song without crying?

[@51migneri]

How can someone give this thumbs down?

[@eileenjackson7909]

I periodically come back and watch this Video. This is my absolutely favorite song in the world. It has been since I saw the Broadway show, many, many years ago. This rendition is especially poignant because of the trauma these students endured, yet they were able to persevere. The tears stream down my face each time. God bless these young boys and girls.

[@tbisurvivor1500]

They should have pics of those who died on stage as well. Like in memorial

[@maggiewhelan3948]

That was amazing

[@aimeemariefournier1013]

Thanks for sharing this it’s extremely close to my heart. Was directly impacted by the shooting

[@jocelynj356]

I am so so sorry that you were impacted. Gun violence is a tragedy and it needs to be stopped. I hope you are doing better now

[@NoodleBerry]

They’re good, and it’s a good song. A celebration of life and love and community, even surrounded by death

[@denariuswright8284]

Its tragic that when Middle Class and Upper Middle Class kids are victims of a shooting the world listens and takes action but closes it's eyes to the children going through violent situations living in poverty every F****** day. That's a tragic misuse of compassion.

[@huzaifagujjar6112]

Nikolas Cruz is innocent boy yes

[@harrisburgpa1]

Why do you see it an either/or situation? No child chooses the circumstances into which they are born. I agree that far more attention needs to be paid to children in poverty, suffering violence. But a child's life cut short by violence is something that should never be taken for granted, whatever the child's family's economic situation.

[@darth_kal-el]

Takes action? Are you fucking kidding me? There has been no action taken. No gun reform. No gun regulations. Nothing. Educate yourself.

[@ryancruz1876]

Why would any gun violence anywhere be acceptable? 🤨 Gun violence affects literally everyone everywhere on a daily basis.

I just say this in my recommendation feed and I was a junior second semester of high school when this happened I agreed with a senior that I didn’t feel safe and now my brother is going back to school and I worry about him sometimes I don’t want anything to happen to him he’s the last thing holding my heart together I lost my cousin at a early age I lost her father my uncle at twelve my mom in 2018 of this month it’s horrible

[@MrStGeorgeIllawarra]

I really hate this song but I can put that aside. This was really beautiful.

[@carlosmanzana4598]

Am I the only one thinking this is weird? Like they were using that terrible tragedy for personal attention? Maybe I just assume the worst in people, but the whole premise just feels very strange to me. I remember thinking that when it first aired. I am sorry for the tragedy that happened, and we should all pay our respects to those who lost their lives. Not only in parkland but in other events as well. That being said, merely being a survivor doesn't make these kids immune to criticism. They went through something horrible, but they are imperfect as are we all. This video just feels creepy to me. Sorry if that isn't a popular opinion, truly.

[@cherryblossom9032]

Damn. Some of them lost their friends, and even if they weren’t on the building at that moment they didn’t know well in what building the shooter was (which you can see based on all the different locations people were giving to the police), they were clearly showing love to the people they lost and it’s always good to show something like these after a traumatic event. Idk about you, but school did in fact feel safer to me knowing more kids were trying to bring awareness to the situation, seeing them in tv getting attention and support does in fact make a lot of us feel better and not like nobody cares.

[@is0pod315]

I feel as if this performance is more of a tribute than using their tragedy for attention.

[@thehorsesnamewasfriday8695]

Like the other person said, it’s like a tribute I guess

[@alhambralions5985]

Carlos Manzana It May seem like an odd venue for these children to sing, but this was a show of resilience, not one of exploitation.

[@bethanney0825]

They are using this song to show that they miss the friends they lost. This song is about remembering and sharing love.

[@Elecktra.g]

This is a very Caucasian cast of rent 🤔

[@katiecarrot31]

?? Thats not the point of this

[@revaamritkar7281]

who cares if they're white when they've gone through so much trauma? jesus.

[@selinapoochie]

These are students who had gone through trauma, and you're going to pick on they're skin colour? Wtf is wrong with you seriously

[@griffin1837]

they’re not actually putting on the show they were paying to tribute to their own fucking friends and family who were shot dead in front of them where is your decency?

[@William-Hurwitz]

Outside of the context of the show, it doesn’t matter. Anyone can sing a song.

[@howardgofstein9694]

Notice how uninterested the ppl in the audience seem to be.

[@tdog8480]

fuck off.

[@NalaBalenciaga]

Nobody notices that becaus it’s clearly not true

[@Elecktra.g]

😴😴😴 that was boring....I've heard from highschool students

[@katiecarrot31]

Someone get their disrespectful ass kid. It was a tribute to their classmates

[@R3ILLV]

Why are ppl crying lmfao

[@cherryblossom9032]

Because it’s sad to know some of them lost friends and were in a traumatic situation?

[@rysachibana1486]

LITERALLY THE FUTURE OF BROADWAY.
