Here's the complete list of TonyAwards winners:
The InheritanceHowards End,López, after thanking and acknowledging three queer artists who inspired him , noted that he was the first Latinx playwright to win a Tony Award for Best Play. He said that while the Latinx community made up 19% of the U.S. population, the number drops to only 2% on, nominated for 12 Tonys, ended the night with no awards. The shut out is easily the biggest upset of the night.
In perhaps the least surprising moments, Aaron Tveit, the sole nominee in the leading actor/musical category, won, delivering a good-natured and moving speech in which he thanked the late Terrence McNally, and Adrienne Warren, star ofwon the lead actress/musical trophy. Warren, aside from Tveit, was considered the night’s shoo-in for her star-making performance as music icon Tina Turner.
Lauren Patten, winning the Tony Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Musical for her role inthanked her trans and non-binary colleagues for engaging in a dialogue about her character Jo. “I want to thank my trans and nonbinary friends and colleagues who have engaged with me in difficult conversations that have joined me in dialogue about my character, Jo,” Patten said. “I believe that the future for the change we need to see on Broadway comes from these kinds of conversations that are full of honesty and empathy and respect for our shared humanity.
