Tony Awards 2026 winners announced, Schmigadoon! and Cats score big

The #TonyAwards this year feel wild, messy, joyous, unleashed, and a true expression of loud community. They feel like an underground defiance of the people who are attempting to hijack society with their hatred and conformity.

It is insane that no play by an American woman has won best play since Wendy Wasserstein's HEIDI CHRONICLES, as Bess Wohl pointed out. But those of us who care about off-Broadway and regional theatre know: America's lady playwrights are fucking amazing. #tonyawards

I just know the Ellisons hate this and it brings me endless joy. #TonyAwards

First-time Tony Award host Pink kicked off Sunday’s telecast by leading a crowded, exuberant version of “Lady Marmalade” and John Lithgow took home the first award for “Giant.”

As I was saying, I love P!NK. That is all. #tonys #tonyawards

This #Tonys speech is EVERYTHING “This is dedicated to the beautiful tapestry of immigrant families who make this country really special. May you one day not have to audition for the empathy that should be freely given by this country that benefits from your beauty.

Just watched Andrew Lloyd Webber chat with Bernadette Peters and Nicole Scherzinger, in “totally normal things that happen two feet in front of you all the time.” #TonyAwards

Side note: support your local theater. Not just Broadway. I went to a great local production of Expecting Isabelle. It was great! Zero budget and still great! #Tonys #TheTonys #TonyAwards

40 years since a female playwright won a Tony. FOR FUCK’S SAKE. #TonyAwards #Tonys

I love how often the show just randomly goes “anyway, fuck AI” lmao. #TONYs

Hell of a speech, beautifully written. Best one of the night. #Tonys

it’s been so much fun following Alex Newell’s career seeing them start on the glee project to now being a huge Tony winning broadway star #tonys

the tony awards are so good at engaging current events from 4 years ago

Yo I don’t even Stan Shoshana bean like that but miss girl has been WORKING for DECADES and I’m just crying thinking about her finally winning her first Tony. Like she dreamed about that for decades 😭 #tonys
