[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]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.[2] 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.[3] 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 the United Kingdom and the Molière Award of France.
From 1997 to 2010, the Tony Awards ceremony was 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.[4] In 2011 and 2012, the ceremony was held at the Beacon Theatre.[5] The 67th Tony Awards returned to Radio City Music Hall on June 9, 2013,[6]as did the 68th Tony Awards on June 8, 2014.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][dfd_heading style=”style_01″ title_font_options=”tag:h5″ subtitle_font_options=”tag:h3″]
