The Lost Boys and Schmigadoon! went into the 2026 Tony Awards with the most nominations, followed by Ragtime. And when the winners were announced on June 7, 2026, live on CBS from Radio City Music Hall, it turned out voters spread the wealth around, awarding Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman six Tony Awards, and Schmigadoon!, The Lost Boys, and Ragtime won four each.
P!nk did a fantastic job as host, performing multiple numbers while keeping the awards show moving along. Additional performances included the casts of The Lost Boys, Schmigadoon!, Titaníque, Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York), CATS: The Jellicle Ball, Ragtime, and Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show. Plus, the original cast of The Book of Mormon celebrated the show’s 15th anniversary, and Queen Latifah led a show-stopping celebration of Chicago‘s 30 years on Broadway.
