Tony Awards 2022: See the Complete List of Winners

On Sunday June 12, the best of Broadway was recognized during a ceremony hosted by Ariana DeBose.

On Sunday, during a star-studded event, the 75th annual Tony Awards hosted by Ariana DeBose recognized the best in live theater over the past year by celebrating the achievements of the 2021-2022 season. 

Everyone from RuPaul Charles to Michael Jacksons’ kids, Paris and Prince, took the stage at Radio City Music Hall in New York City to honor the many nominated productions, including A Strange Loop, which was produced by the host of RuPaul’s Drag Race, and MJ, the jukebox musical about the late pop star’s life and career. 

Other top nominees included Paradise Square, Company, The Lehman Trilogy, Six and For Colored Girls, while the performance categories saw Billy Crystal, Hugh Jackson, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Rachel Dratch, Ruth Negga and Uzo Aduba all competing for individual prizes.  

Unfolding over four hours, the night first kicked off with The Tony Awards: Act One hosted by Darren Criss and Julianne Hough, an hour of exclusive content presented on Paramount+. The celebration then continued on CBS as the awards for the 2022 Tonys were handed out live. 

Of course, as with any year, there were many surprises and unexpected moments throughout the ceremony, with Angela Lansbury among the most notable honorees of the night. See below for the complete list of winners highlighted in bold:
