The Tonys Have Never Been So Dominated By Women

FiveThirtyEight: Was last season the year of women on Broadway? Based on Sunday night’s Tony Awards, it might have been. This year, seven women won Tony Awards, the highest number in Tony history. The seven women won eight of 17 Tonys1 in non-acting categories won by individuals, the largest percentage ever for the Tony Awards. With the exception of two categories, women won every category in which they were nominated.
