“The Lost Boys” and “Schmiga Doon!” are the most unpredictable Tony Awards in years. Gunning of top hardware. Here are the players who took home the trophy on Sunday.
Vampires fight for blood at this year’s Tony Awards.
This season’s most nominated musical, “The Lost Boys,” is vying for top honors at this year’s ceremony with “Schmigadoon!,” “Titanic” and “Two Strangers” and will be broadcast live from New York’s Radio City Music Hall on June 7 (streaming on CBS at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, Paramount+).
For theater fans, this is one of the toughest races of all time, with a heated battle between Tony Award-winning veterans John Lithgow (“Giant”) and Nathan Lane (“Death of a Salesman”) and popular supporting actress nominees Shoshana Bean (“The Lost Boys”) and Anna Gasteyer (“Schmigadoon!”). Most exciting of all, the critically acclaimed “Ragtime” and “Cats: Jellicle Ball” will face off as the best musical revival.
We’re updating live with the full list of 2026 Tony Awards winners, hosted by pop singer Pink for the first time.
