The 2025 Tony Awards delivered several surprises and snubs. Nicole Scherzinger unexpectedly won Best Actress in a Musical for "Sunset Boulevard", beating frontrunner Audra McDonald. "Maybe Happy Ending" triumphed, winning Best Musical and Best Actor for Darren Criss, while "Gypsy" and "Death Becomes Her" underperformed despite multiple nominations. "Dead Outlaw" and "Yellow Face" also lost out on major awards, with "Eureka Day" and "Purpose" taking home the Best Revival of a Play and Best Play awards respectively. The ceremony itself was fast-paced, featuring numerous performances and even live advertisements.
