Ready for the Real Deal on the Tony Awards?**
The spotlight shines bright on Broadway as the theater community recognizes an exceptional year in plays, musicals, and dramas, with Cynthia Erivo, known for her magic in Wicked, taking the reins as the host.
This year, Broadway gathered a dash of Tinseltown thanks to George Clooney's Good Night, And Good Luck and the contemporary reimagining of Jake Gyllenhaal and Denzel Washington's Othello, which gleefully smashed box office records.
It was quite the thrilling ride with the arrival of Stranger Things: The Last Shadow and the summer's return of Mama Mia. These are only a few gems of an extraordinary era on the Great White Way. If you're not quite up-to-speed at Radio City, we've got the scoop on this year's winners.
