aud. Record on CBS since 2019

Last Sunday (11), the American TV channel CBS broadcast the annual ceremony of the tony awards, the highest and most prestigious theater award in the United States. Celebration equals rewards GrammyIn the song; oscarat the movies and emmyOn TV.

The organization is from American Theater Wing and the The Broadway League. This year’s CBS telecast broke an important milestone: it became the most-watched theater awards telecast since the tony awards 2019 with 4.3 million viewers. The mark represents a 2% increase over the previous year, when 3.9 million viewers watched the awards show, which was the first to be broadcast across the entire United States, from coast to coast.

In addition, the award had more reason to become historic: Alex Newell and J. Harrison Ghee became the first openly non-binary actors to win a Tony. Newell received the award for his performance as the character Lulu in the musical “shucked”, while Ghee received the award for his performance with Jerry/Daphne in the musical “Some Like it Hot”.

Another notable fact of the awards is that it was completely improvised. A WGA, Writers Guild of America (Screenwriters League of America) declined to write for the ceremony (which needs a script) because of the writers’ strike, which has been going on since May. This opened space for the organization of the event to seek a solution in improvisation. Ariana DeBose hosted the event and started the awards with a dance performance and took a stand in favor of the writers.

In addition to Newell and J. Harrison Ghee, actors Victoria Clark (best lead actress in a musical) were awarded for the musical “Kimberly Akimbo”; and Sean Hayes (Best Lead Actor in a Play), for “Good Night, Oscar”. The best play award went to “leopoldstadt”, by director Tom Stoppard.
