On Sunday. June 16, 2024, the 77th Tony Awards took place in Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater in New York City, celebrating the achievements of Broadway during the 2023-2024 season. 26 awards for a variety of categories were given out during the three-hour celebration, which was streamed on Paramount+ and CBS.com. Naturally, the night had a healthy dose of star-studded performances alongside some over-the-top theatrics.

Stereophonic won the most awards of the night, with a total of five out of the 13 they were nominated for, including best play, best scenic design of a play and best sound design of a play. The Outsiders and Merrily We Roll Along both took home four awards each, with The Outsiders winning the coveted best musical award.
Other notable successes were Appropriate, winning best revival of a play, and Suffs, winning best original score (music and/or lyrics) written for the theatre.

The night produced several special moments for both the award winners and the viewers at home. Kara Young was notably the first Black performer to ever be nominated for a Tony Award three years in a row. The third time truly was the charm, as Young won this year for the first time. A visibly surprised Daniel Radcliffe won his first Tony Award after previously acting in five separate Broadway shows, and gave an emotional acceptance speech that was capped off with a heartfelt thank-you to his parents, his wife and his son. Hillary Rodham Clinton even got onto the stage to introduce the performance of Suffs, a musical she produced, where she joked about the difficulties that come with making change.

Between the awards, performances were given throughout the night by Jay Z and Alicia Keys, the company of Hell’s Kitchen, the company of Merrily We Roll Along, host of the night, Ariana DeBose and many more.
This year was DeBose’s third year in a row of hosting the Tony Awards. Due to the at-the-time Writers Guild of America strike, DeBose hosted last year’s ceremony entirely script-free. Her return this year was a mark of the quality she upheld last year, and she delivered once again. DeBose even opened up the show with the night’s first performance.
The American Theatre Wing’s Tony Awards are presented by The Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing.
