The 2007 Tony Awards were bestowed on Sunday night at Radio City Music Hall and, as always, the Broadway community came out in full force for the big event. Here are the four very happy winners for their leading performances: Frank Langella (Frost/Nixon), Christine Ebersole (Grey Gardens), Julie White (The Little Dog Laughed), and David Hyde Pierce (Curtains).
Lincoln Center Theater’s production of The Coast of Utopia made Tony history by winning seven awards, the most ever for a play. Among the production’s honorees were Best Featured Actor Billy Crudup…
…and Best Featured Actress Jennifer Ehle, who posed with co-star and fellow Tony nominee Ethan Hawke.
Best Featured Actress in a Musical winner Mary Louise Wilson, who plays Big Edie in Act II of Grey Gardens, finally got her first Tony Award — a mere 44 years after she made her Broadway debut in the musical Hot Spot.
Journey’s End co-stars Stark Sands and Hugh Dancy got their hands on the show’s Tony for Best Revival. Unfortunately, the powerful drama also played its closing performance on Sunday afternoon.
At age 22, John Gallagher, Jr., chosen as Best Featured Actor in a Musical for Spring Awakening, is one of the youngest winners in history.
Spring Awakening was the evening’s biggest winner: a total of eight awards, with two each going to Duncan Sheik, who took home the trophies for Best Score and Best Orchestrations, and Steven Sater, who shared the Best Score award with Sheik and earned another Tony for Best Book of a Musical.
The evening boasted a bevy of star presenters, including Donny Osmond, who will return to Broadway on July 29 for the closing performance of Beauty and the Beast…
