The musical Kimberly Akimbo, starring Victoria Clarke, was the first winner of five awards at the 76th Tony Awards in New York. The story of a teenager who ages five times faster than usual was honored in the categories “Best Musical”, “Best Musical” and “Best Actress in a Musical”.

But J. Harrison Ghee and Alex Newell have also gotten a lot of attention. For the first time, the organization has given awards to non-binary actors. Harrison G won Best Actor for his lead role in Some Like It Hot, and Alex Newell won a Tony for his supporting role in Shuked. “To anyone who thinks they don’t have it, I want to tell you that you can do anything if you want to,” said Newell, who achieved his breakthrough with a role on Glee.

“Leopoldstadt,” a drama about the Holocaust written by 85-year-old British playwright Tom Stoppard, won the Tony Award for Best Play.

Just like last year, the ceremony was presented by the American actress Ariana DeBose.
