Gala Premiilor Tony: musicalul Kinky Boots, marele castigator la Oscarurile teatrului in 2013. Vezi lista completa

Pe langa categoria "cel mai bun musical", "Kinky Boots", inspirat din filmul britanic omonim lansat in 2005, s-a impus si la categoria "cel mai bun actor dintr-un musical" (Billy Porter) si "cea mai buna coloana sonora", o recompensa care a revenit cantaretei si compozitoarei Cyndi Lauper. Artista americana a debutat anul trecut pe Broadway si a castigat astfel primul ei premiu Tony din cariera.

Kinky Boots" s-a mai impus la categoriile "cea mai buna orchestratie", "cel mai bun sunet" si "cea mai buna coregrafie". Spectacolul "Matilda", inspirat din cartea omonima pentru copii scrisa de britanicul Roald Dahl si creat la Londra, unde a castigat anul trecut sapte Olivier Awards, a fost recompensat cu patru premii Tony: "cel mai bun actor in rol secundar", "cea mai buna partitura muzicala", "cele mai bune lumini" si "cele mai bune decoruri".

"Pippin" a fost recompensat cu premiul Tony pentru cea mai buna reluare a unui musical. Versiunea originala a fost lansata in 1972.

Intr-o seara plina de surprize, anumiti actori si anumite productii, considerati favoriti, au plecat acasa cu mana goala. Tom Hanks, care si-a facut debutul pe Broadway in piesa de Nora Ephron "Lucky Guy", bazata de viata jurnalistului laureat cu Pulitzer Mike McAlary, nu a castigat premiul Tony la categoria "cel mai bun actor de teatru". Acest trofeu a revenit actorului Tracy Letts, pentru rolul sau din productia "Who is afraid of Virginia Woolf?".

Premiul Tony la categoria "cea mai buna piesa de teatru" a revenit productiei "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike", de Christopher Durang, o remarcabila cronica a unei familii disfunctionale.

Cea de-a 67-a gala a premiilor Tony a avut loc duminica seara, la Radio City Hall din New York, in prezenta a 6.000 de persoane, si a fost prezentata pentru a patra oara de actorul Neil Patrick Harris. Acesta a avut un numar special in deschidere, cand pe scena a urcat alaturi de el si celebrul boxeur Mike Tyson. Premiile Tony sunt considerate echivalentul in teatru al Oscarurilor si recompenseaza cele mai bune piese si musicaluri de pe Broadway.

Acordate de American Theatre Wing si de League of American Theatres and Producers, premiile Tony au fost create in 1947, in memoria Antoinettei ("Tony") Perry, presedintele American Theatre Wing in timpul celui de-al Doilea Razboi Mondial. Din 1978, premiile Tony sunt difuzate de postul de televiziune CBS.
