Tony Awards history was made Sunday when Alex Newell and J. Harrison Ghee became the first nonbinary people to win Tonys for acting,
were handed out Sunday for a season that had 40 new productions — 15 musicals, 24 plays and a special engagement during the first post-pandemic full season.
Victoria Clark, as the lead in the show, added a second Tony to her trophy case, having won one in 2005 for “The Light in the Piazza.” Stoppard, the British Czech playwright who now has five best play Tony Awards, joked that he won his first in 1968 and said playwrights were “getting progressively devalued in the food chain” despite being “the sharp ends of the inverted pyramid.”
Before the pre-show began, DeBose revealed to the audience the only words that would be seen on the teleprompter: “Please wrap up.” Later in the evening, virtually out of breath after her wordless performance, she thanked the labor organizers for allowing a compromise.
