Tony Awards 2026 Summary
Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman” was the clear winner of the night with six Tony Awards. The plays “Schmigadoon!,” “The Lost Boys” and “Ragtime” each received four.
The play “Schmigadoon” is a comedy that is produced by former Saturday Night Live big cheese Lorne Michaels. It won best musical, best score, best book, and best orchestrations. It is adapted from the Apple+ series of the same name, a parody of classic Broadway shows such as “Brigadoon,” “The Music Man,” and “Carousel” to tell a new story about love and acceptance, with many musical performances.
During his acceptance speech, Michaels said, “Sometimes singing, dancing, a lot of jokes, and a happy ending is really all you need.”

However, the awards ceremony itself is also highly entertaining. P!nk was an odd choice to host the Tony Awards, but she did a good job.
