The new musical Memphis and the revival of La Cage aux Folles each won four awards apiece, the most of any production of the season. There were also ties in three categories.
The current cast of the Tony-winning comedy God of Carnage — Dylan Baker, Jeff Daniels, Lucy Liu and Janet McTeer — will be presenters at the awards, which will be held May 27 at Sardi's Restaurant.
