A new production of Arthur Miller&#8217;s Death of a Salesman dominated the night overall, notching up six wins in total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSchmigadoon!\u201d and \u201cLiberation\u201d were the best musical and best play winners, respectively, at the Tony Awards on Sunday. Bess Wohl&#8217;s Liberation won Best Play, making Wohl only the fourth female playwright to win the award in Tonys history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Musicals Ragtime, The Lost Boys and Schmigadoon! tied with four wins each. Ragtime earned the Best Revival of a Musical Tony Award, and stars Caissie Levy and Joshua Henry took home Best Performance by an Actress and Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical, respectively. This marks the first time in 28 years that a musical revival has claimed both prizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other big winners included Ragtime, about three families pursuing the American dream at the dawn of the 20th Century, and Schmigadoon!, a comedic celebration of theatre&#8217;s golden age, adapted from the Apple TV series. Schmigadoon! producer Christine Schwarzman joked: &#8220;I think I should start by thanking Apple TV for cancelling the third season of Schmigadoon!, the TV show, because without them dropping it, we couldn&#8217;t have picked it up and ran with it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DZT0vORucQY\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

The actor&#8217;s latest Tony trophy comes more than five decades after his first, when he won for his role in a 1972 Broadway production of Changing Rooms. &#8220;Two Tony bookends with 53 years between them,&#8221; Lithgow noted in his acceptance speech. &#8220;In those years, I have worked with hundreds of just fantastic theatre artists. I&#8217;ve had dozens and dozens of ecstatic moments on the stage, but I have to tell you right now, this moment has got to be one of the best.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">British actress Manville won the first Tony of her career for her performance as Jocasta in the Greek tragedy Oedipus. Accepting the award, Manville said: &#8220;I&#8217;m a bit overwhelmed, it was my first time on Broadway so this is such a big deal.&#8221; She also paid tribute to her fellow nominees \u2014 Rose Byrne, Carrie Coon, Susannah Flood and Kelli O&#8217;Hara \u2014 and joked: &#8220;Would someone like to write a play for five women? We are quite bankable.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Death of a Salesman&#8217;s wins included best revival of a play as well as the lead actress prize for Metcalf, a Bafta and Oscar-nominated actress known for Roseanne and Lady Bird. Metcalf said: &#8220;When I was in college, I met six fellow students in the theatre department. We worked really hard to amuse each other, and I still consider them family &#8211; and I still draw on lessons that I learned from them.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cats: The Jellicle Ball received three wins: Costume designer Qween Jean made history as the first transgender Tony winner, Zhailon Levingston and Bill Rauch won for Best Direction of a Musical and Omari Wiles and Arturo Lyons won Best Choreography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shoshana Bean won for playing the mom in \u201cThe Lost Boys\u201d and Joe Mantello won for directing \u201cArthur Miller&#8217;s Death of a Salesman.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sources:<\/strong> This article was directly quoted and compiled from texts written by Steven McIntosh (BBC), Jamie Kravitz (Broadway.com), and the Associated Press (via WECT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That&#8217;s a wrap on the 2026 Tony Awards, hosted by P!NK at Radio City Music Hall!
