What Are the Tony Awards?

Tony Award winners are those shows that are exceptionally well-crafted and are exemplars in their genre. There are 26 categories of awards, in addition to several special awards, as of 2014. The awards are usually distributed into two categories - one for musicals and the other for plays. There are approximately 868 eligible Tony Award voters but there are slight changes in the number every year. These voters choose the best shows among categories like ‘Best Performance by a Leading Actor’, ‘Best Original Score’, ‘Best Direction of a Play’, and so on to declare that year’s Tony Award winners. Death of a Salesman, The Producers, South Pacific, etc. are some Tony Award winners with the most number of awards.
