The Tony Awards are synonymous with grace, glamour and, of course, a touch of theatrics.
Named after its founder, the actress Antoinette Perry, the annual event celebrates the best of Broadway. It is to theatre what the Oscars are to film, the Grammys are to music and Emmys are to television. In fact recipients of the big four are granted the highly prestigious “EGOT” status, one that so far only 18 people have achieved, including Barbra Streisand, Viola Davis and John Legend.
