Hadestown’s Andre De Shields Gives Touching Acceptance Speech at Tony Awards 2019

Andre De Shields accepts his award on stage at the 2019 Tony Awards on Sunday (June 9) at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

The 73-year-old legendary actor won his first Tony for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical for his work in the new musical Hadestown.

During his touching speech, Andre provided his three rules for longevity.

“1: Surround yourself with people whose eyes light up when they see you coming. 2: slowly is the fastest way to get to where you want to be. 3: the top of one mountain is the bottom of the next so keep climbing,” Andre said.
