Winners of the Tony Awards 2026
The event of the year—just like all the other major award shows—took place yesterday evening at Radio City Music Hall in New York. This massive event honors all the shows currently playing on Broadway, featuring everything from prestigious awards to spectacular live performances.
Remarkably, there was a strong international presence this year, with UK stars such as Sam Tutty (Dear Evan Hansen, Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York)), Layton Williams (Titanique), and Daniel Radcliffe (Every Brilliant Thing), among many others.
It was the 79th annual edition of the Tony Awards, hosted by global music icon P!nk. The night featured some truly remarkable performances, including a wild, showstopping opening number, and showcases from hit shows like Paddington, Moulin Rouge!, Schmigadoon!, and Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York).
