The 2026 Tony Awards mark a year of strong competition between two major musical adaptations, with The Lost Boys turning a cult film into a stage hit and Schmigadoon! bringing a streaming series to theater. The ceremony also highlights the continued prominence of revivals like Ragtime and Cats: The Jellicle Ball. With P!nk as host, the Tonys are making a broader pop-culture appeal, potentially drawing a larger audience to Broadway.
the tonys are leaning into pop culture this year — pink as host, lost boys and schmigadoon! as top noms. it's a good sign for broadway's crossover appeal. also a reminder that revivals (ragtime, cats: the jellicle ball) are still pulling big numbers.
