Tony Awards 2023: The Complete Winners List

Here are all the winners at the 76th annual Tony Awards, honoring the best of Broadway from the past season.

On Sunday evening, the 2023 Tony Awards will recognize the best of Broadway during the 76th annual celebration hosted by Ariana DeBose. The ceremony, which unfolded a bit differently this year after the Writers Guild of America (WGA) went on strike with studios over fair compensation, revealed the winners of 26 categories while still providing a showcase for many of the top nominees with live musical performances.

Leading up to the big night, a total of 27 new productions were nominated, with the musical adaptation of Some Like It Hot coming out on top with a total of 13. The other top musicals were & Juliet, New York New York and Shucked with nine each and Kimberly Akimbo with eight. The most nominated revived musical, meanwhile, was Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, which also garnered eight nods. 

On the play side, Ain't No Mo' and Leopoldstadt were the most nominated originals while A Doll's House was the most recognized revival of the year. All three productions garnered six nominations each and were followed closely by Cost of Living and Fat Ham, each of which earned five, and Prima Facie, which landed four. 

When it comes to the acting prizes, Alex Newell of Shucked and Some Like It Hot's J. Harrison Ghee broke new ground as the awards' first-ever nonbinary acting nominees while Audra MacDonald continued her historic run as the most nominated performer by earning her 10th for Ohio State Murders

The 2023 Tony Awards, meanwhile, unfolded over a four-hour event that first kicked off with The Tony Awards: Act One, a pre-show of exclusive content leading up to the main celebration. That event started at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT on Pluto TV before DeBose took over as host with awards handed out live from the United Palace Theatre in New York City, starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS and Paramount+.
