The 2023-24 theater season is finally coming to an end. This year was a year in which waterfront productions stood out (Days of wine and roses and notebook) and rain (Outsider and Uncle Vanya) and Fire (Saffus) and doll (Water for elephants) and one water cart (Back to the Future). Just thinking about it makes me exhausted. Now, on June 16th, Ariana DeBose will sing them goodnight at the 77th Tony Awards ceremony at Lincoln Center. The most nominated play of the night was a musical play. Stereophonic Musical with Alicia Keys Hell's Kitchenboth of which received 13 nominations. But that doesn't mean all the other Wed/Fire/Float vehicles won't be noticed by theatergoers watching on CBS at home! Below are all the 2024 Tony Awards winners.
