Here is a full list of 2026 Tony Awards winners and nominees. Winners are in bold.

Caissie Levy, who won Best Leading Actress in a Musical for 'Ragtime', thanked her family and the village that allows her to be a performer as well as a mother. "I love acting, I love theater, I love this incredible community," she said. Co-star Joshua Henry won Best Leading Actor in a Musical. 

"It is the practice you do when no one is looking" that is paramount, he said, as well as shouting out original "Ragtime" stars Audra McDonald and Brian Stokes Mitchell.

"Every artist in this room, every artist at home, fight, fight, fight to be heard," Henry said.

Rachel Zegler, who will return to Broadway next spring in "Evita," offered a tribute to 'A Chorus Line', which recently celebrated its 50th anniversary, with a performance of 'What I Did For Love'.

The original cast of 'The Book of Mormon' reunited to celebrate the show's 15th anniversary. Tony Award nominees Josh Gad, Andrew Rannells and Rory O’Malley and Tony Award winner Nikki M. James performed, introduced by its Tony Award-winning creators Trey Parker, Matt Stone and Robert Lopez.

Bess Wohl, whose 'Liberation' won Best Play, pointed out that it's been almost 40 years since a woman playwright, Wendy Wasserstein, won. "To all the girls out there, may you speak your truth and may the world be wise enough to listen," Wohl said.

Shoshana Bean, who won the Best Featured Actress in a Musical Tony Award for 'The Lost Boys', was in tears as soon as her acceptance speech began. "This is for the mamas, this is for the single mamas, this is for my single mama," she said. "Take up space, make your own path, make mistakes, make messes, make new things, be free, be proud, be brave," she said.

Zhailon Levingston and Bill Rauch, who won the Tony for Best Direction of a Musical for 'Cats: The Jellicle Ball', gave props to the groundbreakers and marginalized communities of the ballroom community, as well as anyone who finds solace and acceptance within the theater world.

"To the 12-year-old watching this in your bedroom with the volume turned down, come find your home at the Jellicle Ball," they said in their acceptance speech.

On the way to stage for the opening number of 'Schmigadoon!' its star Alex Brightman stopped on the aisle to ask Broadway legend Bernadette Peters for directions.

Former host and Tony Award nominee Ariana DeBose also stopped by to offer Pink some advice. She said to give out encouragement and "hit them with a high note of your choosing," and also said if she needs to stall, remind the audience that Jonathan Groff spits a lot and Nathan Lane is secretly 6'7". 

During a tribute to 30 years on Broadway for 'Chicago," Queen Latifah, who earned an Academy Award nomination for her role as Matron Mama Morton in the film adaptation, joined host Pink, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Alex Newell, Adrienne Warren, Julianne Hough, Whitney Leavitt, Dylan Mulvaney and more for a tribute performance from the musical.

Leslie Odom Jr. sang a hauntingly beautiful 'Without You' from 'Rent' during the show's In Memorium segment.

Billy Crystal, who returns to Broadway this fall in his one-man show '860', announced the winner of Best Revival of a Play.

'Death of a Salesman' was the night's biggest winner, picking up six Tony Awards out of its nine nominations, including Best Revival of a Play, Best Direction of a Play, Best Featured Actress in a Play for Laurie Metcalf, Best Scenic Design, Best Lighting Design and Best Sound Design of a Play.

'Ragtime' also had a huge night, taking home Best Revival of a Musical, as well as Best Leading Actor in a Musical for Joshua Henry and Best Leading Actress in a Musical for Caissie Levy, and Best Sound Design.

'Schmigadoon!' took home Best Musical honors, celebrating the love letter to Broadway based on the Apple TV series. The Golden Age homage also took home wins for Best Book, Best Original Score and Best Orchestrations.

Pink was Peter Pan. She hovered above the Radio City Music Hall stage as the Tony Awards opening number "Began," but multiple-time event host Neil Patrick Harris stepped onstage almost immediately, to raucous applause, urging her to be herself. The pop singer kicked off the 79th annual Tony Awards, held Sunday, June 7, to a full house of performers, creatives and everyone who keeps Broadway running. Pink took on the criticism of some head on, saying she wanted to be accepted for her love of Broadway despite never having been in a show. By the end of the opening number, fans on the internet were already dream-casting her in her first show. 

She earned an ovation for Elphaba's battle cry, before NPH called in the backup of Broadway faves to start a star-filled parody of 'Lady Marmalade'. 

Among the performers was Lea Michele, who was not nominated for her role in 'Chess', singing, "we don't do it for the awards."

"I am here to celebrate the hardest-working people in show business," Pink said in her opening remarks following the musical number, "the people who make art on Broadway."

All seven nominees for Best Musical and Best Revival of a Musical performed during the awards ceremony. Those included: 'The Lost Boys', 'Schmigadoon!', 'Titaníque', 'Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York)', 'Cats: The Jellicle Ball', 'Ragtime' and Richard O'Brien's 'The Rocky Horror Show'.
