The Antoinette Perry Award for Excellence in Theatre, more commonly known informally as a Tony Award, recognizes achievement in live Broadway theatre. The awards are presented by the American Theatre Wing and The Broadway League at an annual ceremony in New York City. The awards are given for Broadway productions and performances, and an award is given for regional theatre. Several discretionary non-competitive awards are also given, including a Special Tony Award, the Tony Honors for Excellence in Theatre, and the Isabelle Stevenson Award. The awards are named after Antoinette Perry, co-founder of the American Theatre Wing.

The rules for the Tony Awards are set forth in the official document "Rules and Regulations of The American Theatre Wing's Tony Awards", which applies for that season only. The Tony Awards are considered the highest U.S. theatre honor, the New York theatre industry's equivalent to the Academy Awards (Oscars) for motion pictures, the Grammy Awards for music and the Emmy Awards for television, and the Laurence Olivier Award for theatre in London, England.

Since 1997, the Tony Awards ceremony has usually been held at Radio City Music Hall in New York City in June and broadcast live on CBS television. The 65th Tony Awards ceremony was held on June 12, 2011 at the Beacon Theatre in New York City, and broadcast on CBS television. The Tony ceremony will return to the Beacon Theatre in 2012.

History[link]

The award was founded in 1947 by a committee of the American Theatre Wing headed by Brock Pemberton. The award is named after Antoinette Perry, an actress, director, producer and co-founder of the American Theatre Wing, who died in 1946.

The first awards ceremony was held on April 6, 1947, at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York City. The first prizes were "a scroll, cigarette lighter and articles of jewelry such as 14-carat gold compacts and bracelets for the women, and money clips for the men." It was not until the third awards ceremony in 1949 that the first Tony medallion was given to award winners.

Since 1997, the Tony Awards ceremony has been held at Radio City Music Hall in New York City in June and broadcast live on CBS television, except in 1999, when it was held at the Gershwin Theatre and 2011, when the ceremony was held at the Beacon Theatre.

Awarded by a panel of approximately 700 judges from various areas of the entertainment industry and press, the Tony Award is generally regarded as the theatre's equivalent to the Oscars, for excellence in film; the Grammys for the music industry, and the Emmys for excellence in television. In British theatre, the equivalent of the Tony Award is the Laurence Olivier Award. A number of the world's longest-running and most successful shows, as well as some actors, directors, choreographers and designers, have received both Tony Awards and Olivier Awards.

Since 1967, the award ceremony has been broadcast on U.S. national television and includes songs from the nominated musicals, and occasionally has included video clips of, or presentations about, nominated plays. The American Theatre Wing and The Broadway League jointly present and administer the awards. Audience size for the telecast is generally well below that of the Academy Awards shows, but the program reaches an affluent audience, which is prized by advertisers. According to an article in ''The New York Times'': "What the Tony broadcast does have, say CBS officials, is an all-important demographic: rich and smart. Jack Sussman, CBS's senior vice president in charge of specials, said the Tony show sold almost all its advertising slots shortly after CBS announced it would present the three hours. 'It draws upscale premium viewers who are attractive to upscale premium advertisers,' Mr. Sussman said..." The viewership has declined from the early years of its broadcast history (for example, the number of viewers in 1974 was 20,026,000, in 1999 9,155,000) but has settled into between six and eight million viewers for most of the decade of the 2000s. In contrast, the 2009 Oscar telecast had 36.3 million viewers.

;The medallion The Tony Award medallion was designed by Art Director Herman Rosse and is a mix of mostly brass and a little bronze, with a nickel plating on the outside; a black acrylic glass base, and the nickel-plated pewter swivel. The face of the medallion portrayed an adaptation of the comedy and tragedy masks and, as noted, the reverse side had a relief profile of Antoinette Perry.

A larger base was introduced in time for the 2010 award ceremony. The new base is slightly taller—5 inches (12.7 cm), up from 3¼ inches (8.3 cm) – and heavier—3½ pounds (1.6 kg), up from 1½ pounds (682 grams). This change was implemented to make the award "feel more substantial" and easier to handle at the moment the award is presented to the winners. According to Howard Sherman, the executive director of the American Theater Wing:

"We know the physical scale of the Oscars, Emmys and Grammys. While we’re not attempting to keep up with the Joneses, we felt this is a significant award, and it could feel and look a bit more significant."By adding height, now someone can grip the Tony, raise it over their head in triumph and not worry about keeping their grip. Believe me, you can tell the difference."

Rules for a "new" play or musical[link]

For the purposes of the award, a "new" play or musical is one that has not previously been produced on Broadway and is not "determined to be 'classic' or in the historical or popular repertoire", as determined by the Administration Committee, (per Section (2g)of the Rules and Regulations). This phrase has been the subject of some controversy, as some shows have been ruled ineligible for the "new" categories, meaning that their authors did not have a chance to win the marquee awards of Best Play or Best Musical (or Best Score or Best Book for musicals). On the other hand, some people feel that allowing plays and musicals that have been frequently produced to be eligible as new gives them an unfair advantage, because they will have benefited from additional development time as well as additional familiarity with the Tony voters. Shows recently transferred from Off-Broadway or the West End are eligible as new, as are productions based closely on movies.

Committees and voters[link]

The ''Administration Committee'' has 24 members: 10 designated by the American Wing, 10 by The Broadway League, and one each by the Dramatists Guild, Actors' Equity Association, United Scenic Artists and the Society of Stage Directors and Choreographers. This committee, among other duties, determines eligibility for nominations in all awards categories.

The ''Nominating Committee'' makes the nominations for the various categories. This rotating group of up to 30 theatre professionals is selected by the Tony Awards Administration Committee. Nominators serve three-year terms and are asked to see every new Broadway production.

There are approximately 700 eligible Tony Award voters, a number that changes slightly from year to year and was decreased in 2009 when the first-night critics were excluded as voters. These include the board of directors and designated members of the advisory committee of the American Theatre Wing; members of the governing boards of Actors' Equity Association, the Dramatists Guild, the Society of Stage Directors and Choreographers, United Scenic Artists, and the Association of Theatrical Press Agents and Managers; members of the Theatrical Council of the Casting Society of America; and voting members of The Broadway League.

Eligibility date ("Season")[link]

To be eligible for Tony Award consideration, a production must have officially opened by the "eligibility date" that the Management Committee establishes each year. For example, the cut-off date for eligibility the 2008–09 season was April 30, 2009. The "Season" for Tony Award eligibility is defined in the Rules and Regulations.

"Broadway" theatre[link]

A Broadway theatre is defined as having 500 or more seats, among other requirements. While the Rules define a "Broadway" theatre in terms of its size, not its geographical location, the list of "Broadway" theatres is determined solely by the Tony Awards Administration Committee. As of the 2010–2011 season, the list consists solely of the 40 theaters located in the vicinity of Times Square in New York City and Lincoln Center's Vivian Beaumont Theatre.

Award categories[link]

there are 26 categories of awards, plus several special awards. Starting with 11 awards in 1947, the names and number of categories have changed over the years; a complete history of each award category was published in 2005.

A newly established non-competitive award, The Isabelle Stevenson Award, was given for the first time at the awards ceremony in 2009. The award is for an individual who has made a "substantial contribution of volunteered time and effort on behalf of one or more humanitarian, social service or charitable organizations."

The category of Special Theatrical Event was "retired" as of the 2009–2010 season.

Criticism[link]

While the theatre-going public may consider the Tony Awards to be the Oscars of live theatre, critics have suggested that the Tony Awards are primarily a promotional vehicle for a small number of large production companies and theatre owners in New York City. Only shows playing in one of 40 large "Broadway" theatres designated by the Tony Awards Management Committee are eligible for the Tony Awards. Only a portion of the Broadway theatres feature a "new" production in any given season, and there are 27 award categories, so most new shows receive one or more nominations.

Producers say that the Tony Award is the only award that sells tickets. "Winning best musical or best play, they say, means money in the bank."

Award milestones[link]

Some notable records and facts about the Tony Awards include the following:

;Productions

12 wins: The most Tony Awards ever received by a single production was the musical ''The Producers'' (2001 awards) with 12 awards, including best musical.

12 gaps: The production with the worst gap between nominations and Tonys received was the musical ''The Scottsboro Boys'' (2011 awards), which was nominated for 12 Tonys but did not win any. It also holds the record for most nominations for a closed show (having closed nearly 6 months before the Tony Awards).

Big 6: Three productions, all musicals, have won all "big six" awards for their category: ''South Pacific'' (1950 awards), ''Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street'' (1979 awards) and ''Hairspray'' (2003 awards) each swept the Best Musical, Best Score, Best Book, Best Performance by a Leading Actor, Best Performance by a Leading Actress and Best Direction awards.

4 Actors: Only one production, the musical ''South Pacific'' (1950 awards), has won all four of the acting awards in a single year.

Medoff later cast him in his 1988 film ''Clara's Heart'', a drama starring Whoopi Goldberg based on the novel of the same name by Joseph Olshan. ''Clara's Heart'' won Harris a Golden Globe nomination. The same year, he starred in ''Purple People Eater'', a children's fantasy.

His first film role as an adult was 1995's ''Animal Room'', although he portrayed a teenager. His subsequent film work has included supporting roles in ''The Next Best Thing'', ''Undercover Brother'', and ''Starship Troopers''. Harris plays a fictionalized version of himself in the ''Harold and Kumar'' stoner comedy films ''Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle'', ''Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay'', and ''A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas''.

In 2003, he took the role of the Emcee in ''Cabaret'' alongside Deborah Gibson and Tom Bosley.

Matthew James Morrison (born October 30, 1978) is an American actor, dancer, musician, and singer-songwriter. He is best known for starring in multiple Broadway and Off-Broadway productions, including his portrayal of Link Larkin in ''Hairspray'' on Broadway, and most notably for his Emmy and Golden Globe nominated role as Will Schuester on the Fox television show ''Glee'' (2009–present). He has also received a Satellite Award for this role.

Early life[link]

Matthew Morrison was born in Fort Ord, California, and raised in Orange County, and is of Scottish heritage. He was part of the Collaborative Arts Project 21 (CAP21) and the Orange County High School of the Arts, while at the Los Alamitos High School campus. While in high school, he did a musical with actress Jodie Sweetin. He attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts for two years before dropping out and joining the Broadway adaptation of ''Footloose''.

By freshman year of college Morrison already was a regular performer on Broadway. He states in ''Details'' "There were all these beautiful, beautiful dancers. As a straight guy I had some room. There were the shared interests in singing and dancing, and I always find dancing with someone very erotic and sexual. I definitely hooked up with a lot of girls when I was a young guy on Broadway. It was fun, I guess. Very joyous and free."

Career [link]

Morrison's career began when he made his musical theatre debut on Broadway in the musical version of ''Footloose'', followed by a revival of ''The Rocky Horror Show'' in 2002. His big break came, however, when he landed the role of Link Larkin in the Broadway production of John Waters', ''Hairspray''. After performing in the role for some time, he started working in television, guest-starring on shows such as ''Ghost Whisperer'', ''Numb3rs'', ''CSI: Miami'' and ''Hack''. He also had small roles in films such as ''Marci X'', ''Primary Colors'', ''Music and Lyrics'', and ''Simply Funk''. He followed up these performances by performing the role of Sir Harry in the ABC-TV production of ''Once Upon a Mattress'', starring Tracey Ullman and Carol Burnett.

In 2001, Morrison was recruited to complete the quartet for the band LMNT. He was replaced instead by Jonas Persch by the time their first album was released. He commented in an interview about his experience in the boy band by remarking, "It was the worst year of my life. You know when you're a performer and you're out there on stage and you're embarrassed that you're doing something wrong. It was pretty bad." Matthew Morrison also was a member of Buena Park Youth theater. Located at Buena Park

Morrison starred in the Original Cast of the musical ''Hairspray'' as Link Larkin from its opening in 2002 through January 2004.

In 2005 Morrison changed gears, playing the role of Fabrizio Nacarelli in Adam Guettel's ''The Light in the Piazza''. He was nominated for a Tony Award for his performance. He left the show August 28, 2005.

Morrison joined the cast of the CBS soap opera, ''As the World Turns'', as Adam Munson on October 24, 2006, but left abruptly soon after due to a "scheduling conflict," last airing on the soap on November 27.

Morrison appeared in a benefit performance celebrating Andrew Lippa, and the 25th Anniversary of the performing troupe 'The Kids in the Hall' at the Orange County Performing Arts Center in Costa Mesa, California in December 2006. The performance benefited The California Conservatory of the Arts, a non-profit arts education organization focusing on pre-professional training for young students, grades six through twelve, in Orange County, California.

He earned a Drama Desk Nomination for his role in the Off Broadway show ''10 Million Miles'' which ran at the Atlantic Theater Company in 2007. That same year he appeared in two films: ''Dan in Real Life'', followed by ''Music and Lyrics'' as Cora Corman's manager.

In 2008 he played Lieutenant Cable in a Lincoln Center production of the musical ''South Pacific''. He left the production at the end of 2008 and in early 2009 returned to California to shoot the first season of ''Glee''.

Morrison plays Will Schuester in the Fox Broadcasting television series ''Glee'', which had its television preview on May 19, 2009. He resumed his role in the show as the series premiered on September 9, 2009. He plays a high school Spanish teacher who takes on the task of restoring the school's glee club to its former glory. Morrison also appeared in the show's second season. He returned for the third season, which premiered on September 20, 2011. He will be making his directorial debut in the third season's ninth episode.

In addition on January 14, 2010, it was announced that Morrison signed a solo record deal with Mercury Records. His first studio album was released on May 10, 2011. Morrison duets with Elton John on "a medley of 'Mona Lisas and Madhatters' going into 'Rocket Man'". His first single, "Summer Rain", premiered on Ryan Seacrest's website on February 28, 2011. Additionally, a duet of "Over the Rainbow" with Gwyneth Paltrow appears on the self-titled album.

On June 16, 2010, Morrison joined Leona Lewis — appearing at London's O2 Arena as part of her world tour — for a one-off performance to sing "Over the Rainbow". Morrison was on the cover of the June 2011 issue of ''MetroSource''.

In March 2012, Morrison was featured in a performance of Dustin Lance Black's play, '''8''' — a staged reenactment of the federal trial that overturned California's Prop 8 ban on same-sex marriage — as Paul Katami. The production was held at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre and broadcast on YouTube to raise money for the American Foundation for Equal Rights.
