'Harry Potter' star Daniel Radcliffe bags his 1st Tony Award
Tony Awards for excellence in Broadway theater Sunday highlighted history with awards for a musical on the suffragette movement, a gritty remake of a book set in the 1960s and a tale of a 1970s rock band.
The ceremony took place for the first time at New York City's Lincoln Center with Tony-nominated and Oscar-winning actress Ariana DeBose hosting the awards ceremony for the third year in a row, after presiding over last year's writerless event with an elaborately choreographed dance number.
Shaina Taub won best score and best book of a musical for «Suffs,» the story of the suffragette movement, featuring an all-woman cast.
"Stereophonic" took the Tony Awards for best play and best direction for Daniel Aukin. David Adjmi's play about a 70s-era rock band making an album, featuring original songs by Will Butler, formerly of Arcade Fire, broke the record for the most nominations for a play in Tony's history.
«Succession» star Jeremy Strong won best lead actor in a play for his role in the Henrik Ibsen play «Enemy of the People,» and Daniel Radcliffe, best known for his starring role in the Harry Potter movie franchise, won best featured actor for "Merrily We Roll Along."
Will Brill beat out two other actors in his production, «Stereophonic,» for best featured actor in a play. Kara Young, who is the first Black actor, male or female, to be nominated for a Tony three years in a row, won the award for best featured actress in a play for her role in «Purlie Victorious.»
