Mary-Mitchell Campbell will receive the 2026 Isabelle Stevenson Tony Award, recognizing a member of the theater community who has made a substantial contribution in time and effort toward humanitarian causes and social service.

Campbell serves as music supervisor on Death Becomes Her. She was also music director of The Queen of Versailles earlier this season, and she is credited as the music consultant on Fallen Angels. Her previous productions include Water for Elephants, The Prom, and Mean Girls. She won a 2007 Drama Desk Award for her orchestrations for the Broadway revival of Company, directed by John Doyle. She won a Grammy in 2024 for the cast album of Some Like It Hot.

She is a founding member of Musicians United for Social Equity (MUSE), is on the advisory board of MAESTRA, and she has music directed and/or supervised numerous events for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, the Serious Fun Children’s Network, and Kristin Chenoweth’s Broadway Bootcamp.

In 2006, Campbell joined forces with a group of Juilliard students to found Artists Striving to End Poverty (ASTEP), created with the belief that every young person has a story and a voice that deserves to be heard. Marking its 20th anniversary this year, the organization (now called Arts Ignite) has helped over 45,000 young people globally.

Campell will accept her award during the Tony Awards ceremony, which will be televised on June 7.
