2025 Tony price Had everything – Cynthia Erivo, Oprah, a “Hamilton” meeting, and a good part of snobs and surprises to keep the prognosticators of the reward season on their guards. After doing Our prediction winners Earlier this week, these are the biggest twists and turns of the night.
SURPRISE: Nicole Scherzinger Triumph in “Sunset boulevard”
The best actress of a musical prize has always been at the shoulder to shoulder, and people were starting to think that Nicole Scherzinger, early for her galvanizing performance in “Sunset boulevard”, had lost the good will of the voters after a blunder on social networks involving a baseball cap adjacer Maga-Adjace. By Tony Night, the winner seemed to be a real blow between Schcherzinger and Tony Fave Audra McDonald (“Gypsy”), with a slight edge given to McDonald. But Scherzinger triumphed after all, moving away with the trophy in what looked like the most competitive category of the season.
Snub: “Gypsy” and Audra McDonald leave empty -handed
To judge by the voters interviewed this year, McDonald was celosis To win her seventh Tony for her devastating performance while Mama increased in “Gypsy”. The renewal itself was also a real competitor for the price of musical renewal, and the choreographer of the musical, Camille A. Brown, was a nominated five times waiting to win his first prize. But “Sunset Boulevard” worn the day, winning high -level prizes for musical recovery and the leading actress in a musical (Nicole Scherzinger), and the other nominees for the show were also disappointed.
Snub: Little recognition for “Death becomes her”
The popular transfer of the cult comedy “Death Death Bed” was one of the three musicals to win 10 Tony nominations each year. But while “perhaps a happy ending” won six prizes, including the best musical and the “Buena Vista Social Club” marked four, including the best featured actress for Natalie Venetia Belcon, “Death Befet Her” left with a single trophy for the costume designer Paul Tazewell.
Surprise: Darren Criss marks for “maybe a happy ending”
We had thought that the best actor of a musical trophy would go to Jonathan Groff, who had won, among the voters to whom we talked, a lot of admiration for having worn the organic Bobby Darin “just in time” on his capable shoulders. But the tight competition of Groff in the race was Darren Criss, the former star of “Glee” who became a regular presence in Broadway (“Hedwig and the Angry Inch”, “American Buffalo”, “How to succeed in business without really trying”). He ended up catching the honor of his charming physically precise performance as a robot in the romance close to the “perhaps happy end”.
Surprise: Tony’s ceremony was charged at the front and full of action
The Tonys did not give the public a great chance to get bored, exciting the show with performance as soon as the door is released. After the pre -Télécast awards, the official ceremony started with a starry victory – Sarah Snook for her solo turn of Bravura in “The Picture of Dorian Gray” – before stimulating the numbers of “Death becomes”, “Buena Vista Social Club” and “Just in Time” (with Jonathan Groff), all the first hour. One of the first two prices of the night, Best Play, was given at 9:30 p.m. (in Branden Jacobs-Jenkins to “purposes”)
Snub: “dead outlaw” is stiff
Back before the announcement of the appointments, the two frontrunners of the musical top Award seemed to be popular and critical “perhaps happy” and “Dead Outlaw”, a show that won critical distinctions and its fair share of the prices of a race outside Broadway last season. A darkly funny show on a Wild-Well Ne’er’er-Well Wild-West whose corpse obtains a surprisingly long life, “Dead Outlaw” was nominated for seven tones, including the best musical. In the end, however, the darling of criticisms did not mark a single statuette.
Snub: “yellow face” loses against “Eureka Day”
There were two ways, the best renewal of a game race could have gone, and We predicted The victory would go to “Yellow Face”, the play by David Henry Hwang – on the race, the representation and the theater industry – which seemed just as appropriate, if not more, this season that it did when the play ran for the first time in New York in 2008. Instead, the Prix de la Rangeuit went to “Eureka Day”, the comedy that will appeal to the Fig humanity in a group of parents and parents. (“Yellow Face” was not excluded in the cold, however; the show won a Tony for the pillar of the Frances Jue theater, the star actor in production.)
Surprise: Who says advertisements cannot be live too?
The advertisements for the teas in the bottle of pure leaves were in heavy rotation throughout the show, but about an hour, Pure Leaf attracted the attention of home viewers with live advertising, behind the scenes of the Tonys, with the nominated of the best actor Darren Criss. The Gambit worked, because the announcement stood out: the actor was able to mention his program, “perhaps Happy Ending”, in a apparently intimate moment behind the scenes, and Pure Leaf had a fairly unusual socket to prevent viewers from hitting the silent button. Later, Aaron Tveit introduced himself to talking about a competition from another sponsor of Tony Awards, American Express.
