Presenters included Billy Porter, Victoria Clark, Terrence Mann, Andrea Martin and Shuler Hensley.
As previously reported, the new musical A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder won four awards, the most of any production of the season. The musical comedy was honored with prizes for Outstanding New Broadway Musical, Outstanding Book of a Musical (Robert L. Freedman), Outstanding Director of a Musical (Darko Tresnjak) and Outstanding Actor in a Musical (Jefferson Mays).
Bullets Over Broadway, the new musical based on the Woody Allen film of the same name, and the critically acclaimed revival of Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie each won three awards apiece. Based on recommendations by the OCC Executive Committee, a Special Achievement Award will be given to animal rescuer, trainer and coach Bill Berloni of Bill Berloni Theatrical Animals in recognition of this season's outstanding performances by his dogs in Annie, The Open House, The Threepenny Opera, Bullets Over Broadway and Lady Day as well as for the 300 dogs he has found in homeless shelters and made into theatre stars over his career.
