Tony Awards 2026: Death of a Salesman wins six awards as Lithgow and Manville claim acting honours

Monday, 8 June 2026, 06:21 · 1 min read

A pared-down revival of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman swept the 2026 Tony Awards (the annual prizes for Broadway theatre in New York), claiming six trophies including best revival of a play — making it the most decorated play revival in the ceremony's history. John Lithgow, 80, won best leading actor in a play for his role as Roald Dahl in antisemitism drama Giant, becoming the oldest man to claim a competitive acting Tony, while British actress Lesley Manville took best leading actress for the Broadway transfer of Oedipus, her first appearance on Broadway. Best play went to Bess Wohl's Liberation, making Wohl only the fourth woman ever to win that award, while best musical was claimed by Schmigadoon!, a stage adaptation of a cancelled Apple TV comedy series.
