'Hell's Kitchen' and 'Stereophonic' share the most nominations at the Tony Awards with 13.
“The Outsiders,” a gritty adaptation of the classic young adult novel, became the essence of a Broadway insider on Sunday, winning the Tony Award for best new musical on a night when women made strides.
Two special guests electrified the crowd — Jay-Z and Hillary Rodham Clinton. The latter, a producer of a musical about suffragettes, presented “Suffs.”“I have stood on a lot of stages, but this is very special,” Clinton said. “I know a little bit about how hard it is to make change.” Then Shaina Taub, only the second woman in Broadway history to write, compose and star in a Broadway musical, won for best score, the ninth woman to do so. The “Suffs” creator had already won for best book earlier in the night.
"Thank you to my ancestors," she said, giving thanks to a list that included playwright Ossie Davis and co-star Ruby Dee, who originated her role. Groff, who said he used to watch the Tonys in Pennsylvania as a kid, also thanked his parents and brother for letting him act out scenes from “I Love Lucy” as a child.
