Broadway revivals and 'Liberation' win big at the Tony Awards, hosted by Pink

“Schmigadoon!,” won best new musical at the Tony Awards. The play is an adaptation of an Apple TV series that gently mocks big, brassy Broadway shows. The award on Sunday night for the best new play went to “Liberation,” about a consciousness-raising women’s group in 1970s Ohio, which earlier this year also won the Pulitzer Prize for drama. “Ragtime,” a big, soaring musical that depicts an America being remade by immigration, racial violence, industrial wealth and political unrest, won the best musical revival. John Lithgow won for best lead actor in a play for his role in “Giant.”
