The Antoinette Perry “Tony” Awards are awarded annually to theater professionals for distinguished achievement. The show was aired despite the Writers Guild of America strike. The walkout meant that the ceremony was unscripted with no opening and closing numbers, Variety reported.

Organizers made a deal with the WGA to not use a script, while guild members promised not to picket the ceremony, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

“Leopoldstadt,” the story of Jewish identity, won four Tonys, including one for best new play.

The best musical award went to “Kimberly Akimbo,” about a teen who ages four times faster than the average human. It was one of five honors the play earned.

Alex Newell of “Shucked,” and J. Harrison Ghee of “Some Like It Hot” became the first out nonbinary performers to win acting Tonys.

Sean Hayes won best leading actor for “Good Night, Oscar,” while Jodie Comer won best leading actress for her role in “Prima Facie.”

“Some Like It Hot” led the field with 13 nominations, while “& Juliet,” “Shucked” and “New York, New York” had nine nominations apiece, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

To be eligible for an award, a Broadway show must have opened between April 29, 2022, and April 27, 2023, according to The New York Times.
