79th Annual Tony Awards · June 7, 2026 · Radio City Music Hall

Tony Award Winners 2026

The complete results from Broadway’s biggest night — and what every major win means for planning your summer visit.

The 79th Annual Tony Awards took place on June 7, 2026, at Radio City Music Hall, hosted by P!nk — who opened the ceremony descending from the ceiling dressed as Peter Pan. No single show swept the night; awards spread across four productions, with Death of a Salesman taking the most trophies at six, while Schmigadoon!, The Lost Boys, and Ragtime each won four. Here’s the full list of winners, with notes on what each result means for your summer Broadway plans.

Best New Musical

Winner

Schmigadoon!

The win validates what Tony voters have rewarded before: an original, creator-driven musical with a singular voice. Cinco Paul wrote the book, music, and lyrics — making Schmigadoon! only the sixth show in Tony history where one writer held all three credits, following Hamilton and Hadestown. The show is now Broadway’s most talked-about ticket heading into summer. Expect weekend availability to tighten fast. See the Schmigadoon! planning guide →

The Lost Boys — 12 nominations
Schmigadoon! — 12 nominations
Titaníque
Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York)

Best New Play

Winner

Liberation

Bess Wohl’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play made history twice over — it’s the win that confirms the show’s place as the serious drama of the season, and Wohl becomes only the fourth female playwright to win Best Play in Tony history. Liberation had one of the most competitive fields of the night (Giant and The Balusters were both strong contenders), making this a genuine surprise. For visitors who want theater that goes beyond the crowd-pleaser, this is the summer pick.

Giant
Liberation — Pulitzer Prize winner
Little Bear Ridge Road

Best Revival of a Musical

Winner

Ragtime

Ragtime dominated the revival categories — it won Best Revival of a Musical and swept both lead acting prizes, the first musical revival to claim both in 28 years. If you want to see something emotionally substantial with serious performances, this is the revival to book.

Cats: The Jellicle Ball — 9 nominations
Ragtime — 11 nominations
Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show — 9 nominations

Best Revival of a Play

Winner

Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman

Death of a Salesman was the biggest winner of the night with six Tonys — Best Revival, Direction (Joe Mantello), Featured Actress (Laurie Metcalf), Scenic Design, Lighting Design, and Sound Design. The production stars Nathan Lane and is a rare case where a play revival competes directly with new work on pure craft. For visitors willing to go serious, this is the prestige pick of the season.

Planning Your Summer Around the Winners

Tony wins shift ticket demand fast — Best Musical in particular. Availability for the winning show typically tightens within days of the ceremony, especially for weekend evenings and Saturday matinees. If you’re planning a summer trip around what won, don’t wait more than a week or two to lock in dates.

Best Play and Best Revival winners are often overlooked by casual visitors, which can work in your favor — better availability and sometimes lower prices. These shows are frequently the stronger picks for theatergoers who want something more than the crowd-pleaser of the moment.
