New York — “Perhaps a happy end,” ROM Kum’s music for Anderdes, which was floundering with humanity, had a happy ending at the Tony Awards on Sunday. She won the Best New Music Award on a night when Kara Young made history as the first black person to win two consecutive for “purpose”, who also won the Best New Play Award.

Darren Chris and Helen C. Shin, “Perhaps Happiness ends” draws the romantic relationship between two robots that have been stopped, to become a comment on human themes and the passage of time. She won six tons.

With the “purpose”, a drama in the drawing room for a prominent black family that reveals hypocrisy and pressure during the snow gathering, Branden Jacobs Jenkins was a few wonderful years: in addition to winning the consecutive Tunes title-“won” thanks to “the best revival played in 2024-he won the Politzer Award” for his goals. “(This victory came on Met Gala, where he served in the host committee.)

Jacobs-Jenkins became the first black theater writer to win the category since August Wilson took the cup in 1987 from “Walls”. He urged viewers to support regional theaters; “The purpose” was carried out in Chicago.

Young-the first black actress Tony nominated for four consecutive-consences for “purpose”.

Tony’s prominent moments
“Sunset Blvd.” , With Nicole Scherziner as a desperate fell screen to restore her fame, she won the Best Music Prize, and the composer Andrew Lloyd Weber Wiper handed his first competition since 1995 – when the original show won. The current version is the production of a minimum.

Sherzinger also won the best pioneering actress in a music field, making her a great challenge from Audra McDonald, who wiped out her gun for her seventh statues. It stimulates a wonderful professional axis for Cherzinger, who was one day the lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls and TV Talent Budget.

“Do not give up,” she said. “This is the era that love always wins.”

Chris, who played the starring role in everything from “Al -Ghusaba” to “the assassination of Gianni Versace: American crime story”, won the first Tony about “Perhaps a Happy End”, which he also participated in. He said he shared it with Shin, who was not nominated.

Sarah Snock took the cup for a pioneering actress in a play for her tireless work in the movie “Dorian Gray”, where she plays all 26 roles.

“I don’t feel lonely on any night I do this show,” Snock said, and she rejects the idea of ​​playing it as one woman’s show. “There are a lot of people on the stage, which makes it work and behind the theater, which makes it work.”

CAABARET CABARET star in the center of Cole Escola occupied the best actor in a theater cup to play a copy of the distorted, the oppressive and advanced importance of Mary Tod Lincoln in “Ya Mary!” He beat Hollywood stars like George Clooney and Daniel Day Kim. Sam Penkelton won the Best Exit for “Oh, Mary!” They thanked Escola, saying they taught him, “Do what you love, and not what you think people want to see.”

Francis Joy won the best actor in a distinguished role in a play to revive the “Yellow face”. He said he was talented by an evening of another Asian actor he wanted to wear to Tonys.

Jacques Malon won the Best Actor Award in a distinguished role in a musician for the British import “MINCEMEAT: A New Musical”, and he plays a woman in every performance. He expressed his hope that his victory will be a strong invitation to transit rights. “Urika’s Day”, Jonathan Spitt’s social satire around liberal -intentional liberals who discuss the school policy, won the award for best revival game.

The original “Hamilton” team, “Hamilton”, including the creator Lynn Manuel Miranda, won a victory in black clothes to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the show in Broadway, with a tendency including “Baladi Baladi”, “Sisters of Shueller”, “History has eyes on you” and “the room in which it happens.”

The host with more
The hostess launched for the first time, Sinatia Evo, the show from her dressing room in the Radio City Hall, not sure of her opening number. While she was making her way through the scenes Warren, she faced many people who advise until she reached Oprah Winfrey, who advised “the only thing you have to do is to be yourself.”

Evo then appeared on the stage in a red dress, with white accents, and hip, as it released in the slow original song “Sometimes everything you need is a song”, written by Mark Shaimman, Skut, Wittman, Bengas Basil and Justin Paul. Initially on his own with the pianist, I soon joined Evo’s voice through dozens of members of the Broadway Inspirational Voices, all of whom wear white clothes, making it look like a strong strawberry in a bowl of whipped cream.

In her opening comments, the candidates for the first time identified Escola, Luis McCartney, Sadi Sadi, and “one of the waves that I think you will hear really-George Clooney.”

She noted that the 2024-2025 season took $ 1.9 billion, making it the highest season ever, indicating that Broadway has recently appeared from Covid-19 Blues.

“Broadway officially returned,” said Evo. “Provided that the members of the” caliphate “are not ran out,” a reference to the appearances this season by the former participating stars Snook, Kieran Culkin and the last season by Jeremy Strong.

She and Sara Barils rotated a section in notes, “The Sun Will” from “Annie”, honored the composer Charles Strouse as well as George Wendt, Richard Chamberlain, Athol Fugard, Joan Plowright, Quincy Jones, and Linda Lavin, James Eenl Jones, and Gavin Creel.

Evo was a friendly host, at a stage appearing in the second mezzanine to comment that everyone loves the scene from the balconies of theater – with the exception of perhaps Ibrahim Lincoln. I enjoyed Winfrey later, and asked her to check under her chair, where she found a gift bag with a game car. “You get a car!” Evo is cracked.
