The 76th Annual Tony Awards has just taken place at the United Palace in New York City’s Washington Heights.

Kimberly Akimbo won the award for Best Musical and garnered the most wins with 5. Kimberly Akimbo follows Kim, a bright and funny Jersey teen, who happens to look like a 72-year-old lady. Forced to maneuver family secrets, borderline personalities, and possible felony charges, Kim is determined to find happiness in a world where not even time is on her side. The show is written by Pulitzer Prize-winner David Lindsay-Abaire and Tony Award-winner Jeanine Tesori.

Leopoldstadt won Best Play and garnered 4 wins, tying with Some Like It Hot, the show that got the most nominations this season with 13. The play is a drama of love and endurance that begins in the last days of 1899 and follows one extended family deep into the heart of the 20th Century. Tom Stoppard’s latest work spans fifty years of time over two hours.
