Tony Awards 2026: see all the winners of the edition
The 79th edition of the Tony Awards takes place this Sunday night (7) in a ceremony at Radio City Music Hall, in New York, led by singer Pink.
The debut musicals "The Lost Boys" and "Schmigadoon!" are the most nominated in the edition, with 12 each, followed by the revival "Ragtime", with 11. The main competitors in the category, with "Titaníque" and "Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York)", strongly won over the public, making this year one of the most competitive for the music scene.
It's worth highlighting two well-known Hollywood names who could win their first Tony tonight: Rose Byrne for "Fallen Angels", nominated this year for the Oscar for Best Actress for "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You"; and Carrie Coon, for "Bug", known for the series "The Gilded Age" and "The White Lotus".
