Tony Award Winners 2025: A Recap Of Broadway’s Biggest Night
Are your **Tony Award predictions** coming to fruition? **Broadway’s** biggest night is underway, and the theater community is celebrating an extraordinary year in plays, musicals, and dramas as Cynthia Erivo of *Wicked* assumes hosting duties. This year, Broadway got a little taste of Hollywood thanks to George Clooney’s *Good Night, And Good Luck*and Jake Gyllenhaal and Denzel Washington’s modernized retelling of ***Othello*** *—* both of which broke records at the box office. It’s also been an adventurous year with the arrival of *Stranger Things: The Last Shadow * and a nostalgia revery with *Mama Mia * returning this summer. But these are just a few tidbits of an extraordinary time for the Great White Way. If you’re not **watching along** with the fun happening at Radio City, allow us to fill you in on the winners thus far.
