8 hours ago 21

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Broadway’s biggest night delivered no shortage of surprises, celebrations, and standout performances as the 2026 Tony Awards honored the year’s finest achievements in theater. Presented at Radio City Music Hall in New York, the ceremony unfolded in two parts: The Tony Awards: Act One, co-hosted by Laura Benanti and Tituss Burgess, followed by the main telecast hosted by P!nk, who became one of the biggest pop stars ever to helm the event.

While dozens of productions competed for top honors, three musicals emerged as the evening's dominant forces. Schmigadoon!, The Lost Boys: A New Musical, and Ragtime each claimed four awards, turning a fiercely competitive race into a shared victory lap for some of the season's most acclaimed productions.

The night also produced several memorable milestones. Lorne Michaels earned his first-ever Tony Award as a producer of Schmigadoon!, adding Broadway's highest honor to a trophy cabinet already filled with Emmy Awards.

Meanwhile, Shoshana Bean captured her first Tony for her featured performance in The Lost Boys: A New Musical. Zhailon Levingston and Bill Rauch also made history with Cats: The Jellicle Ball, becoming just the fourth directing duo ever to win Best Direction of a Musical.
