2023 Tony Awards: Nominees & Winners
Find out who was nominated and won at this year's Tony Awards!
On June 11th, the 2023 Tony Awards took place! Ariana DeBose was back to host this year's show. With the ongoing writers strike, Ariana confirmed the show was unscripted.
One of the night's big winners was the musical Kimberly Akimbo, which ended up with five awards. Some Like It Hot and Leopoldstadt finished with four awards each.
There were lots of incredible performances. Josh Groban and the cast of Sweeney Todd took to the stage to perform "The Ballad of Sweeney"; the show ended the night with two awards. Plus, Ben Platt and Micaela Diamond sang "This Is Not Over Yet" from musical Parade, which won the award for Best Revival of a Musical. And thirteen years after she first performed the song at the Tony Awards, Lea Michele once again sang "Don't Rain On My Parade" alongside the cast of Funny Girls. You can read more about all of the performances here.
