Another Tonys has come and gone The American Theatre Wing’s 75th Annual Tony Awards, hosted by Ariana DeBose, aired live from Radio City Music Hall last night, honoring theatre professionals for distinguished achievement on Broadway and wrapping up the 2021-22 awards season.
With several shows winning one or two trophies, “Broadway’s Biggest Night” didn’t have a biggest winner this year.
Last season, Moulin Rouge! ended the 74th Annual Tony Awards with 10 awards to its name. In recent years, Hamilton has claimed 11 top honors, The Band’s Visit went home with 10 Tonys, and Hadestown eight. The 2021–2022 season played out a little differently at the 75th Annual Tony Awards, held June 12 at Radio City Music Hall. While there were a quite a few shut-outs at Broadway’s Biggest Night, there wasn’t a singular big winner sweeping the awards. For that matter, there weren’t even any mini-sweeps that are often seen in the design, creative, or performance categories.
A Strange Loop entered the race Sunday night with the most nominations at 11, followed by Paradise Square and MJ each boasting 10, Company with nine, and The Lehman Trilogy and SIX each with eight. Twenty-three other shows received 1–7 nominations, but the bulk of winners came from that first group, with the West End transfers Company and The Lehman Trilogy
leading the trophy tally with five awards each.
The Tonys often see a hot new musical taking Best Musical, Best Book, and Best Score in a single evening. This year, only A Strange Loop, Paradise Square, and Mr. Saturday Night
were nominated in all three categories. A Strange Loop took Best Musical, and Best Book went to its writer Michael R. Jackson. Best Score ended up in the hands of SIX writers Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, who were also nominated for Best Musical, but not for book. Best Musical, Best Play, and both Revival categories often also see nods for direction and choreography. That was true this year, with the Best Musical Revival winner Company also garnering a win for its director Marianne Elliott, but Best Choreography went to Christopher Wheeldon for MJ.
It’s also not uncommon to see a single play or musical take home all four design awards: Best Costume, Sound, Lighting, and Scenic Design. That was not at all true this year, with awards in those eight categories going all over the place. For musicals, MJ took two (sound and lighting), with SIX winning for costume and Company for scenic design. In the play categories, The Skin of Our Teeth won its sole award of the night for costume design, Dana H. won for sound design, and The Lehman Trilogy took Best Lighting and Scenic Design.
It is far more rare to sweep all four performance categories (Best Lead and Best Featured Actor and Actress). In fact, it’s actually only happened once, with South Pacific in 1950. However, there certainly have been shows where three performers from a single show went home Tony winners (Hamilton, Hairspray, and The Producers for example), but this year didn’t see any show dominating. To the contrary, only Company even won more than one performance award, with Best Featured Actor and Actress going to Matt Doyle and Patti LuPone, respectively.

Billy Aberle and Chris Sabol’s Straight Forward is an original musical inspired by an article by Mike Iamele that went viral on social media in 2014, explaining how he began developing romantic and sexual feelings for his male best friend Garrett Lech, despite them both identifying as straight.
It was a Broadway season like no other. Following the pandemic-related shutdown, the 2021-2022 season saw marquees once again shine brightly up and down the Main Stem as curtains rose to houses filled with enthusiastic (but masked) theatregoers, eager to once again enjoy the thrill that only a live performance can bring—and did Broadway performers bring it!
With a more diverse slate of productions than ever before, Broadway demonstrated once again that no one tells a story like Broadway playwrights, composers, lyricists, and librettists, and no one brings these stories to full life better than the skilled designers and the multitalented artists who delve deep into their souls eight times a week. And, in a season where a virus and its variants hid around every corner, no one may have been more important than the understudies and standbys who helped production after production keep its doors open and audiences entertained.
TV watchers around the world celebrate the remarkable season June 12 during the two-part, four-hour 75th Annual Tony Awards. The Tony Awards: Act One—hosted by Emmy winners Darren Criss and Julianne Hough—kicks off the evening at 7 PM ET with an hour of exclusive content streaming live on Paramount+ that features performances and the presentation of several honors. The three-hour The 75th Annual Tony Awards—hosted by Oscar winner Ariana DeBose—will follow at 8 PM ET on CBS, also streaming live (for premium-level subscribers) and on demand on Paramount+, making this year’s ceremony the first in Tony Awards history to be available live nationwide.

The season celebrated its first opening August 22, 2021, with Antoinette Chinonye Nwandu’s Pass Over, which marked the playwright’s Broadway debut and concerned two young Black men who dream of an existence beyond their street corner. Nearly 40 other productions followed, with critics penning their final review of the season for the Sam Gold-directed revival of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, co-starring Daniel Craig and Ruth Negga.
Nominations for the 2022 Tony Awards were announced May 9 by Broadway favorites Adrienne Warren and Joshua Henry with A Strange Loop becoming the most-nominated production of the season, earning 11 nominations including Best Musical, Best Original Score, and Best Book of a Musical. Also leading the pack of nominees: MJ The Musical and Paradise Square, each with 10 nominations. The most nominated play of the season is the recent limited engagement of The Lehman Trilogy. (Scroll down to view the complete list of nominees.)
This year’s ceremony has the chance to make LGBTQIA+ Tony history should SIX‘s Toby Marlow (the first openly Non-binary composer Tony-nominated), A Strange Loop‘s L Morgan Lee (the first openly Trans artist nominated), or The Skin of Our Teeth‘s Adam Rigg (the first openly agender artist to be nominated) win in their respective categories of Best Original Score Written for the Theatre, Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Musical, or Best Scenic Design of a Play. In terms of BIPOC representation, should Camille A. Brown win the Best Choreography Tony for her work on the acclaimed revival of for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf, she would become the first Black woman to win the prize. Brown, it should be noted, is also nominated for Best Direction of a Play for Ntozake Shange’s choreopoem. A win for Brown or The Skin of Our Teeth‘s Lileana Blain-Cruz in that category would mark the first time a Black female director has nabbed the prize.
Viewers can expect special performances from Tony winners Bernadette Peters and Billy Porter as well as The New York City Gay Men’s Chorus and original cast members from Broadway’s Spring Awakening. The ceremony will also feature performances from Tony-nominated productions A Strange Loop, Company, Girl From the North Country, MJ, Mr. Saturday Night, The Music Man, Paradise Square, and SIX: The Musical.
Also set to make appearances during the ceremony are Utkarsh Ambudkar, Skylar Astin, Zach Braff, Danielle Brooks, Danny Burstein, Len Cariou, RuPaul Charles, Jessica Chastain, Lilli Cooper, Bryan Cranston, Wilson Cruz, Colman Domingo, Anthony Edwards, Cynthia Erivo, Raúl Esparza, Laurence Fishburne, Andrew Garfield, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Tony Goldwyn, David Alan Grier, Marcia Gay Harden, Vanessa Hudgens, Jennifer Hudson, Samuel L.

2022 Tony honorees include Angela Lansbury, who will receive the Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre; Robert E. Wankel, receiving the Isabelle Stevenson Tony Award; James C. Nicola, receiving a Special Tony Award; Chicago’s Court Theatre, receiving the Regional Theatre Tony Award; and Asian American Performers Action Coalition, Broadway For All, Emily Grishman, Feinstein’s/54 Below, and United Scenic Artists Local 829, each receiving a Tony Honor.
