Tony Award Winners 2018
Josh Groban and Sara Bareilles hosted the Tony Awards tonight at Radio City Music Hall and we’ve got the complete list of winners below. (Click here for the list of nominees.) If you put The Band’s Visit down for pretty much everything it was nominated for, you probably won your Tony pool! The tuner took home 10 awards, including Best Musical, Best Score, Best Book, Best Director of a Musical, and Best Leading Actress and Actor in a Musical. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child snagged six statuettes. Although SpongeBob SquarePants had 12 nominations, it only received one award for Best Scenic Design for a Musical. Meanwhile, Mean Girls was shut out completely. In one of the evening’s biggest surprises, Once on This Island won Best Revival of a Musical, an absolutely joyful moment. And Angels in America, the most nominated play in Tony history, earned three awards, including Best Revival of a Play.
