The context
The 79th Tony Awards took place on June 7, 2026, at Radio City Music Hall, hosted by P!nk. The evening’s biggest winner was the revival of Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman, which swept six awards including Best Revival of a Play and Best Direction for Joe Mantello. Laurie Metcalf won Best Featured Actress in a Play for her role in the production, earning her third Tony.
Schmigadoon! claimed the top prize, Best Musical, along with three other awards, capping a ceremony that saw the show convert its co-leading 12 nominations into victory. The Lost Boys, which also entered with 12 nominations, won four Tonys but did not take Best Musical. Ragtime won Best Revival of a Musical, and leads Caissie Levy and Joshua Henry both won the top performance prizes — the first such revival sweep in 28 years. Bess Wohl’s Liberation took Best Play.
The nominations, announced May 5, had created significant buzz around the Schmigadoon!/Lost Boys rivalry. The ceremony, broadcast on CBS and streamed on Paramount+, delivered a night that spread its wins broadly across productions.
