Schmigadoon! and Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman were the top winners on The Tony Awards: Act One, the pre-show for the 2026 Tony Awards. Both shows won three awards. The Lost Boys: A New Musical and Cats: The Jellicle Ball each won two awards. Ragtime and Fallen Angels each won one.
This year’s Tony Awards are being presented at Radio City Music Hall in New York, at two ceremonies: The Tony Awards: Act One, co-hosted by Laura Benanti and Tituss Burgess, and the main Tony Awards telecast, hosted by P!nk, who is the biggest pop star ever to host the show.
The Tony Awards: Act One streamed on Pluto TV. The Tony Awards will broadcast live coast-to-coast on CBS and stream on Paramount+ from 8 to 11 p.m. ET.
Two musicals, The Lost Boys: A New Musical and Schmigadoon!, lead the 2026 Tony nominations. The Lost Boys: A New Musical is a musical adaptation of the 1987 comedy horror cult film The Lost Boys. Schmigadoon! is an adaptation of the first season of the 2021 musical TV series of the same name.
Both shows are nominated for best musical, for which they are competing with Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York), which received 11 overall nods, and Titaníque, which received four overall odds. Titaníque is a jukebox musical filled with hits by Celine Dion. The show is a parody of the 1997 blockbuster Titanic; the story is a retelling of the film’s events from Dion’s perspective.
The nominees for best revival of a musical are Cats: The Jellicle Ball, Ragtime and The Rocky Horror Show.
André Bishop, who served as the artistic director of Lincoln Center Theater from 1992 to 2025; lighting designer Jules Fisher; and playwright and director James Lapine are set to receive the 2026 Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre.
Here’s the complete list of 2026 Tony Awards winners, marked as they are announced. Musical categories are listed first, followed by plays.
Morgan Wallen is addressing criticism following the abrupt cancellation of his Pittsburgh tour stop.
On Saturday (June 6), the country star announced that his scheduled concert that evening at Acrisure Stadium would not go on due to severe weather concerns.

“After talking with local officials and my team, there is no choice but to cancel tonight’s show due to severe weather conditions expected throughout the rest of the day and night,” Wallen wrote on Instagram. “Safety for my fans and crew is the highest priority.”
Hours later, the “Last Night” singer returned to his Instagram Stories with a video message responding to some of the backlash and speculation surrounding the decision. In the clip, Wallen explained that his team advised him that morning to cancel the show after local officials warned of potentially dangerous wind conditions in the area.
“So that’s what I did. That was the information I had in the moment, and I trusted my team,” he said. “I understand that the wind and whatever else hasn’t gotten to Pittsburgh yet. I know it has touched some of Pennsylvania, so my heart goes out to all those affected by it.”
Wallen added, “But the truth of the matter is, I have a large stage that, in those conditions, could become fatal to a lot of folks around it. So I did the best I could with the information I had in that moment.”
The singer went on to address the “nonsense” about him circulating online.
“I’ve been seeing a lot of nonsense about me that is simply not true,” Wallen said, adding that he wanted to “clear the air.” He concluded, “I think my true fans know that that’s not how I operate in general, but I had to say it. Y’all, take care.”
Saturday had been designated a KDKA First Alert Weather Day, with forecasters warning of potentially strong to severe storms. The weather system was expected to move through the Pittsburgh area during the evening hours, with the greatest threat between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., according to CBS News.
Following the cancellation, some skeptical fans voiced their frustrations on social media.
“Morgan wallen cancelling his show last night is just hilarious because i walked outside after my shift at 11pm and my car was completely dry,” one person wrote on X. “No rain in sight. that man was already on his way back to tennessee.”
KDKA Radio’s Marty Griffin claimed on X, “Acrisure stadium officials fuming. … Wallen left town on plane before they even had meeting and demanded they announce the cancellation after he was in the air.”
The cancellation came one night after Wallen’s first of two scheduled Pittsburgh performances. During Friday’s (June 5) concert at Acrisure Stadium, the country superstar was joined during his signature walkout by former WWE star and Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle.
Todo álbum tiene aspectos que lo vuelven una obra homogénea: ya sea el sonido, la forma de grabarse, la temática de las canciones, un concepto o, en una versión más extrema, una historia que se relata por completo a través de los temas. En el caso de estos últimos, suelen conocerse como óperas rock y […]

On Saturday night (June 6) in Oakland, Calif., nearly 20,000 fans learned that good things really do come to those who wait.
The evening kicked off Ariana Grande’s long-awaited, highly-anticipated return to touring after a seven year hiatus. Grande last traveled the globe in 2019 on her Sweetener World Tour that spanned 100 shows. The trek was the biggest of her career at the time, with a gross of $146 million and 1.3 million tickets sold according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore.
Since then, Grande has released not just one album but two — with a third on the way. (Petal arrives July 31, amid the tour.) So, naturally, when she announced her Eternal Sunshine Tour last August, excitement — and demand — was at an all-time high. Especially considering that this outing is significantly scaled back, by comparison, spanning just 41 dates across a limited number of cities.
Since 2019, Grande released Positions in 2020 and Eternal Sunshine in 2024, both of which were Grammy nominated for best pop vocal album. She famously starred in Wicked and Wicked: For Good as Glinda, a role for which she was Oscar nominated. And still to come, in addition to releasing a new album this summer, she will appear in the forthcoming Focker-In-Law and in a West End revival of Sunday in the Park with George. And those are just the things we know about.
Given Grande’s schedule and expanding stardom, seeing her back on stage felt more special than ever. And not only because, as one user on X put it, she didn’t have to tour, but because despite the outing’s namesake, this won’t last forever.
In fact, Ari even teased this could be her last tour for some time, telling Amy Poehler on the Good Hang podcast in November, “I don’t want to say anything definitive. I do know that I’m very excited to do this small tour, but I think it might not happen again for a long, long, long, long, long time. I’m going to give it my all and it’s going to be beautiful. I think that’s why I’m doing it because I’m like, ‘One last hurrah!’”
And whether that holds true, night one had the same energy as the last first day of school. Grande was equal parts composed and silly, dangerous and delicate, confident and contemplative — a vibrant spectrum of being that not only comes from experience, but from embracing that experience.
And that’s exactly what Eternal Sunshine celebrates: Ariana in all her forms. Past, present and future. So even if her tour can’t last forever, its message surely will — because in the end, what’s more eternally radiant than loving exactly where you are because you’re proud of where you’ve been? And perhaps even more excited for where you’re going.
Below, find the five best moments from Grande’s opening night of her Eternal Sunshine Tour.
As any Ari fan knows too well, there was a lot to catch up on with the launch of the star’s Eternal Sunshine tour. Since Grande’s last trek — her mega 2019 Sweetener World Tour — she has released not one but two albums (Positions, Eternal Sunshine) with a third on its way (Petal, which arrives during tour on July 31). Plus, there was her 2025 Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead project that included six new songs — a handful of which made their way into the opening night setlist.
And while the show largely focused on Positions and Eternal Sunshine — rightfully so — the pop star included many of her biggest career-spanning hits as well; in fact, every album was represented except for Sweetener. But hey, that album had its time to shine. (Though, Thank U, Next hits including the title track and “7 Rings,” both of which were performed on the Sweetener World Tour, made their way into the Eternal Sunshine show as well).
The set was divided into five sections, with section three including a trio of pop bangers back-to-back-to-back (“One Last Time,” “Rain On Me” and “Break Free”) and section four following “Dangerous Woman” with early fan favorite “Honeymoon Avenue.” The last section featured a fake-out finale of “Into You,” before Grande live debuted Petal’s lead single, “Hate That I Made You Love Me,” which so far is the only preview of the new album (she didn’t opt to perform anything unreleased on night one, at least).
With so much anticipation for the Eternal Sunshine Tour, Billboard speculated what Ari’s show might look like back in May, crafting this dream set list. But now, we know for sure — and it’s a dream indeed.
