Here Are All the 2023 Tony Award Winners

The 2023 Tony Awards just honored a fresh group of incredible talents. Trophies were handed out at the United Palace Theater in NYC on June 11. This year’s big winners include “Killing Eve” star Jodie Comer for her role in “Prima Facie,” the play “Leopoldstadt,” and the musical “Kimberly Akimbo.”

“Shucked” star Alex Newell and “Some Like It Hot” star J. Harrison Ghee also made history as they became the award show’s first openly nonbinary acting winners. The Tony Awards do not have gender-neutral acting categories. Newell, an alum of “The Glee Project,” took home the award for featured actor in a musical. Ghee also won in their category, best actor in a musical.

The annual theater award ceremony was hosted by Oscar winner Ariana DeBose, who is emceeing without a script amid the 2023 writers strike.
