The 2024 Tony Awards Winners
By Jason P. Frank, a Vulture writer covering comedy, theater, and music

The 2023-24 theater season is finally coming to a close. It was a year with water features (Days of Wine and Roses and The Notebook) and rain (The Outsiders and Uncle Vanya) and fire (Suffs) and puppets (Water for Elephants) and one floating car (Back to the Future). We’re exhausted just thinking about it. Now, on June 16, Ariana DeBose is singing them goodnight at the 77th Tony Awards at Lincoln Center. Coming into the night, the most-nominated projects were play-with-music Stereophonic and musical-with-Alicia-Keys-music Hell’s Kitchen, both of which managed 13 nominations. But that doesn’t mean everybody else’s water/fire/floating cars should go unnoticed by the theater people watching CBS at home! Below find all the winners at the 2024 Tony Awards.
