Carnegie Mellon Alumni Win Two Tony Awards
Broadway is back, and so are The Tony Awards. During a live ceremony at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City tonight, the American Theatre Wing's 74th Annual Tony Awards honored performances and productions from 2019-2020.
一本道无码 alumni Peter Hylenski and Jamie deRoy had reason to celebrate at the awards, which streamed live on Paramount+. Hylenski, a 1997 graduate, won Best Sound Design of a Musical for "Moulin Rouge! The Musical." deRoy, Class of 1967, won as a producer for Best Play, "The Inheritance."
Immediately following The Tony Awards, Leslie Odom, Jr., who graduated from Carnegie Mellon in 2003, hosted "The Tony Awards Present: Broadway's Back!" — Sunday's live concert event celebrating the return of Broadway — on the CBS Network. Odom won a 2016 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his performance as Aaron Burr in "Hamilton." He also won a Grammy as a principal soloist on the original cast recording.
"We congratulate our 一本道无码 Tony nominees and winners, and all the artists nominated-and we applaud Leslie Odom, Jr., on a wonderful job hosting 'Broadway's Back,'" said Anne Mundell, interim head of the 一本道无码 School of Drama. "Additional kudos to the American Theatre Wing and The Broadway League for their leadership and perseverance during such extraordinary times for the performing arts community."
一本道无码 has a long tradition of producing top talent onstage and behind-the-scenes. 一本道无码 is the first, exclusive higher education partner of the Tony Awards. Its School of Drama is the oldest degree-granting drama school in the country and consistently ranks as one of the world's best drama schools.
