\nRagtime<\/em> and Cats: The Jellicle Ball<\/em> battled it out at the 2026 Tonys, leading to some unexpected wins and snubs.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe musical revivals went into Sunday night\u2019s awards ceremony with 11 and nine nominations respectively, and they ended the night with Ragtime<\/em> in a slight lead with four Tonys to Cats: The Jellicle Ball<\/em>\u2018s three awards.<\/p>\n

\nRagtime<\/em> triumphed in the best musical revival category, arguably the closest race of the night. However, Zhailon Levingston and Bill Rauch, who directed Cats: The Jellicle Ball<\/em>, won best direction of a musical over Ragtime<\/em> director Lear deBessonet, triumphing in a close race.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnother Cats<\/em> snub and surprise win came in the featured actor in a musical race. Theater legend Andr\u00e9 De Shields was seen as having an edge in the category for his role as Old Deuteronomy, a literally show-stopping performance, but instead Ali Louis Bourzgui was the surprise winner for his role as The Lost Boys<\/em>\u2018 charismatic vampire leader.<\/p>\n

\n\tBourzgui delivered a powerful speech, in which he spoke out against fascists and billionaires and in support of Arab artists and Palestinians.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnother notable surprise and snub came in the featured actor in a play category as Becky Shaw<\/em>\u2018s Alden Ehrenreich beat out Death of a Salesman<\/em>\u2018s Christopher Abbott in what was another close race. Death of a Salesman<\/em> also suffered a rare defeat in the lead actor in a play category, when star Nathan Lane lost to Giant<\/em>\u2018s John Lithgow, though Lithgow had been widely viewed as the winner, particularly after he won the Olivier Award for the same role last year. Still, Lane led a strong campaign and was praised for his performance.<\/p>\n

\n\tA number of shows that went into the night with multiple Tony Awards nominations were completely shut out: Nine-time nominee Richard O\u2019Brien\u2019s The Rocky Horror Show<\/em>, eight-time nominee Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York)<\/em> and four-time nominee Titan\u00edque<\/em>.<\/p>\n
