Broadway revivals and Liberation win big at the 2026 Tony Awards | Entertainment-others News

Published by Parlour News

Schmigadoon!, an adaptation of an Apple TV series that gently mocks big, brassy Broadway shows, won the best new musical Tony Award on a night when actor John Lithgow and playwright Bess Wohl made history. The musical parodies golden-age Broadway classics like The Music Man and Oklahoma! centered on a modern-day couple finding themselves in a Brigadoon-like fantasyland where the wholesome townspeople keep breaking into song. The win is a redemption for creator Cinco Paul, whose TV series was canceled after two seasons. He won Tonys for the score and the book Sunday. “Sometimes singing, dancing, jokes and a happy ending are all you need,” said producer Lorne Michaels, the creator of Saturday Night Live, after the win. The win for Schmigadoon! also completes what some unofficially call a “studio EGOT,” giving the producing company credits for winning awards at all four major ceremonies. Apple already has Emmys for comedies Ted Lasso and The Studio, the Oscar for best picture for CODA and a Grammy via Chris Stapleton’s contribution to the F1 soundtrack. The prize …

Washington: Markets worldwide fluctuated on Tuesday as investors braced for US President Donald Trump’s sweeping “Liberation Day” tariff announcements, hoping they would free businesses from the trade-policy uncertainty that has weighed on markets for weeks. President Trump is set to unveil “reciprocal tariffs”, aligning US duties with those of other nations, on Wednesday afternoon at an event at the White House Rose Garden.  The American commander-in-chief on Sunday said the levies will include all countries, but specific details were scant. He has already imposed a range of import levies on China, Canada and Mexico and is poised to introduce auto tariffs this week.

White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said reciprocal tariffs on countries that impose duties on US goods would take effect immediately after Trump announces them, while a 25 per cent tariff on auto imports will take effect on Thursday.  Markets Fluctuate Global stocks …
