The 79th annual Tony Awards are happening tonight at Radio City Music Hall on June 7. Hosted by Grammy Award winner P!NK, the ceremony is honoring Broadway productions that opened between April 28, 2025, and April 26, 2026. Here, we’ll be updating the winners as they are announced.
As a reminder: “Schmigadoon!” and “The Lost Boys” lead the nominees, with each musical receiving 12 nominations, including Best Musical — but Lincoln Center Theater’s revival of “Ragtime” is close behind with 11. “Death of a Salesman” is the most-nominated play with nine nods.
The “Act One” pre-show with select awards aired ahead of the official broadcast. (Find out how to watch it all here.) Winners can be found below in bold and preceded by an asterisk. This article will be updated live as each category is announced.
