Winners of the 75th annual Tony Awards were announced at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Sunday and broadcast live on CBS and Paramount+ with newly minted Oscar winner Ariana DeBose hosting the ceremony, who was nominated for a Tony in 2018 for playing mid- career Disco Donna in “Summer: The Donna Summer Musical” and was also in the cast of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s megahit “Hamilton” in 2015.
Jointly presented by The Broadway League and the American Theater Wing, The Tony Awards honors the best of Broadway in a season that got off to a late start due to the gradual reopening of theaters last summer and fall amid the COVID pandemic. It recognizes new shows that have opened since Broadway reopened last fall, with an eligibility cut-off of April 28.
Angela Lansbury, who has won five Tonys over her 75-year career, received the 2022 Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre.
Among the Tony-nominated musicals featured as part of Sunday’s performance lineup were “Music Man,” “A Strange Loop,” “Company,” “Girl From the North Country,” “MJ,” “Mr. Saturday Night,” “Paradise Square” and “Six.”
The show is produced by Tony Award Productions, a joint venture of the Broadway League and the American Theater Wing, and White Cherry Entertainment. Ricky Kirshner and Glenn Weiss are executive producers for White Cherry Entertainment. Weiss serves as director of the show.
We’ll be updating this post with the winners as they’re announced, with the show kicking off with the Paramount+-only program “The Tony Awards: Act One.”
