TONY AWARDS
 


The nominees for the 2007 Tony Awards appear to the left.
Winners are listed first in bold.



The first Tony Awards were held on April 6, 1947 at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. The evening included dinner, dancing, and an awards ceremony to celebrate excellence in theatre.


The Tony Awards Administration Committee is comprised of 24 members, of whom 10 are designated by the American Theatre Wing, 10 by the League of American Theatres and Producers, and one each by the Dramatists Guild, Actors' Equity Association, United Scenic Artists, and the Society of Stage Directors and Choreographers. This committee determines eligibility for nominations in all awards categories, reviews the rules governing the awards, and appoints the Nominating Committee. The ceremony takes place annually.
