Tony Awards 2021 winners list: See which Broadway shows won big
"Moulin Rouge! The Musical" won 10 Tonys, twice more than any other production.
The 2021 Tony Awards celebrated Broadway on Sunday night by honoring productions that went live during the 2019-2020 season.
The 74th annual ceremony was delayed a year because of the COVID-19 pandemic and, ultimately, resulted in a cumulative four-hour broadcast that was simulcast on CBS and the Paramount+ streaming service.
The show -- the first Tony Awards in more than two years -- went smoothly, with host Audra McDonald proclaiming that the audience was comprised of "vaxxed and masked" individuals -- reflecting the current Broadway policy.
Among the big winners of the night was newcomer "Moulin Rouge! The Musical," which earned 10 trophies, including best musical. Meanwhile, "The Inheritance" was honored with best play while "A Soldier's Play" was deemed best revival.
