Just bring your A game to our Tony Awards game

---

In 2016 it was all about Hamilton. This year, there are actually some very exciting Tony races, especially in the categories of Best Musical, Best Actress in a Leading Role in a Play, and Best Play (four superb new American works! Is this the '40s?!). Regardless of which artists go home with statuettes, you can vie to be a winner too by playing our Tony Awards game. Two champions will be chosen randomly from the entries that correctly predict the most Tony winners. The prize is two tickets from our TDF offers for members, or a $100 TKTS gift certificate for non-members. Members can take the quiz here, while non-members should go here. All entries must be received by noon on Sunday, June 11, the day of the Tonys.
