Tony Awards 2022 si-a desemnat castigatorii
„A Strange Loop” de Michael R. Jackson, care a castigat deja premiul Pulitzer pentru acest meta-musical a fost recompensat, duminica, 12 iunie, cu trofeul la categoria „best musical” la cea de-a 75-a editie a premiilor Tony. Jennifer Hudson a atins statutul de EGOT odata cu castigarea premiului Tony pentru ca a produs „A Strange Loop”. (EGOT se refera la persoanele care au castigat un premiu Emmy, un Grammy, un Oscar si un Tony de-a lungul carierei lor in divertisment. Personalitatile notabile care au obtinut trofee la toate cele patru mari ceremonii sunt: Rita Moreno, Alan Menken, Andrew Lloyd Webber, John Legend, Mike Nichols, Mel Brooks si Whoopi Goldberg.) Spectacolul „The Lehman Trilogy” a fost desemnat castigator la categoria „best play”, „Company” a fost castigator la „best musical revival”, iar „Take Me Out” a fost ales „best revival of a play”, anunta Variety. „Company”, care a schimbat genul protagonistului musicalului clasic al lui Stephen Sondheim pentru a spune o poveste mai concentrata despre femei, a castigat cinci premii. Victoria a venit la aproximativ sapte luni dupa ce creatorul sau a murit la varsta de 91 de ani. „The Lehman Trilogy”, o drama despre una dintre institutiile financiare care a contribuit la declansarea recesiunii din 2008, a castigat cinci premii Tony, inclusiv pentru regie, Sam Mendes, si pentru rol principal, Simon Russell Beale. Patti LuPone a castigat al treilea premiu Tony din cariera. De data aceasta pentru cea mai buna actrita in rol secundar intr-un musical, pentru interpretarea ei din spectacolul „Company”.
