The Tony Awards, presented by the Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing, will host a multi-platform celebration September 26, starting with the presentation of the American Theatre Wing’s 74th Annual Tony Awards at 7 PM ET on Paramount+, followed by The Tony Awards Present: Broadway’s Back! on CBS.
In honor of an incoming new class of winners, Playbill is looking back on the shows that defined the past decade, earning their spots as either Best Play or Best Musical in Tony Awards history. Can you name them all?
