Tony Awards 2017: Nominations
The annual Tony Awards is a showcase of the best of the best in theatre. Everything from outlandish musicals to deep, one-man plays are celebrated at the prestigious awards.
The Tony’s are like the Oscars for stage – with a little more glitter and a whole lot of jazz-hands.
