The Tony Awards took place in New York on Sunday night, more than two years after the last award ceremony.

The show, which honors the best on Broadway, was postponed last year because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Sunday night’s ceremony recognized the best of the 2019-2020 Broadway season. It was hosted by Audra McDonald at the Winter Garden Theatre.

The ceremony was followed by a two-hour concert special called “Broadway’s Back!” that included performances as well as a live presentation of three Tony Awards: best play, best revival of a play and best musical.
