74th Annual Tony Awards Winners

The Tony Awards are back, following multiple postponements brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, Broadway’s biggest night returned in a major way on Sunday, Sept. 26.

The four-hour celebration of the performing arts proved to be a winning night for Moulin Rouge! The Musical and The Inheritance. Among the notable snubs was Slave Play, which got shut out despite entering the night with 12 nominations, making it the most-nominated play in Tonys history.

McDonald hosted the traditional ceremony from the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City, which streamed for fans exclusively.
