Tony Awards push forward despite Hollywood writers’ strike
A nervy Tony Awards kicked off Sunday with a pre-show heavy on unpredictability and very low on jokes after the Hollywood writers’ strike left Broadway’s biggest night without a script.
“Tonight is unscripted, darlings,” host Ariana DeBose warned those attending the show. She revealed to the crowd the only words that will be seen on the teleprompter: “Please wrap up.” Many of the technical awards – for things like costumes and scenic design – were handed out at a breakneck pace, allowing winners plenty of airtime for acceptance speeches.
A total of 26 Tony Awards will be handed out Sunday for a season that had 40 new productions – 15 musicals, 24 plays and one special engagement during the first post-pandemic full season., which won best score for Jeanine Tesori and David Lindsay-Abaire.
