As previously announced, the Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing have revealed that the 74th annual Tony Awards will take place in the form of a digital ceremony this fall. Broadway’s biggest night, originally scheduled for June 7, was put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In honor of the theatre’s highest honor, Playbill is looking back on the shows that defined the past decade, earning their spots as either Best Play or Best Musical in Tony Awards history. Can you name all of them?
