Tonys 2025 TakeaWays: “ may be happy end ” wins 6 prizes

“Maybe a happy ending,” A moving Broadway musical about two thrown robots that make a road trip and forges a relationship, won the coveted tony of the best new musical on Sunday evening, capping a remarkable journey for a show that was confronted with long chances but won both critics and fans.

The triumph of a show with a confusing title and themes that are difficult to explain was a vote of trust in originality by an industry often dominated by the intellectual property of the big brand and the stars of Big-Name Hollywood.

The Prix de la Comédie Musicale crowned a night in which Broadway rewarded the new adventurous arrivals: Sarah SnookThe star of the “succession” who played 26 roles in a technologically complicated adaptation of “the image of Dorian Gray”; Nicole ScherzingerThe old Pussycat doll which, barefoot and bloody, delivered a hot performance in a renewal of “Sunset boulevard”; And Cole EscolaAn alt cabaret artist who imagined Mary Todd Lincoln as an alcoholic who aspires to be a singer and transformed this wacky idea into a successful game “Oh, Mary!”

The price show took place as Broadway finally seems to bounce back After a harmful pandemic closure. The season that has just ended was the most profitable ever recorded when the figures are not adjusted for inflation. But attendance remains slightly lower than the prepondeal levels and very few musicals reach profitability. The success of the season has been largely attributable to three star plays whose races are now ending: “Good night and good luck”, “Othello” and “Glengarry Glen Ross”.
