The Tony Awards, officially known as the Antoinette Perry Award for Excellence in Broadway Theatre, were established in 1947 to recognize outstanding achievements in American theater. They were named after Antoinette Perry, an actress, director, and co-founder of the American Theatre Wing, which initiated the awards. The first ceremony took place on April 6, 1947, and has since become one of the most prestigious awards in the theater industry, celebrating excellence in Broadway productions.
