Brian MacDevitt and Hana S. Kim win the Tony for best lighting design of a musical for “The Outsiders.”

Broadway royalty Idina Menzel is back at the Tonys days after she announced her return to Broadway. The "Rent" and "Wicked" star will star in a new musical, "Redwood," in 2025. Speaking to Playbill on the blue carpet, Menzel said her new show is "like nothing anybody's ever seen before."

“It’s the place I feel most at home; it’s the place I feel most like myself,” Menzel said of her return to the Broadway stage.

Jonathan Groff has solidified himself as one of Broadway’s pre-eminent stars. But the actor is still chasing a Tony win after nearly two decades in the industry.

The third time could be a charm for Groff, 39, who is nominated for best leading actor in a musical tonight for the acclaimed revival of Stephen Sondheim’s “Merrily We Roll Along.”

Groff made his Broadway debut in 2006 as Melchior Gabor in the original production of “Spring Awakening” alongside Lea Michele, earning his first Tony nomination. He later voiced the role of Olaf in Disney’s “Frozen” and earned a second Tony nomination for originating the role of King George III in “Hamilton.”

Ten-time Tony nominee David Zinn wins the Tony for his work on "Stereophonic."

Justin Peck won the award for best choregraophy for “Illinoise."

The Wilma Theater was honored with the Tonys' regional theatre award. The Philadelphia stage is being recognized for its contributions to the local and national theater scenes.

The title is accompanied by a $25,000 grant.

Director Jack O’Brien and writer-director-producer George C. Wolfe will be honored tonight with the special Tony award for lifetime achievement.

O’Brien has won three Tony Awards, for his work directing “Hairspray,” “Henry IV” and “The Coast of Utopia.” He was nominated last year for his direction of “Shucked.” Wolfe has been nominated for 23 Tonys and won three.

Tom Scutt won the Tony for his work on "Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club."

Although “Stereophonic” revolves around music, it is distinctly a play — not a musical. The show follows a band in the 1970s through the process of recording an album, a journey that is littered with rock 'n' roll tension and breakups akin to the story of Fleetwood Mac.

The play’s score, written by Will Butler, formerly of the band Arcade Fire, was nominated for best score, an accomplishment The Hollywood Reporter called “a rarity in a category typically populated by musicals.”

But the music in the play itself does not drive the plot; instead, it acts as the product of the band’s turmoil. Only two of the band’s songs are played in full to keep the audience's attention on the details of the recording studio.
