Writing for The Forward, Benyamin Cohen declared “…It was “a very Jewish Tony Awards” on June 11, with antisemitism-themed shows big winners. “Leopoldstadt,” about a Viennese family decimated by the Holocaust won best play; and “Parade,” about the real-life lynching of Jewish businessman Leo Frank, won for best musical revival.
Other Jewish winners were Brandon Uranowitz (best actor) for his role in “Leopoldstadt”; Alfred Uhry (writer “Parade,” best musical revival); Michael Arden (best director, “Parade”); Miriam Silverman (best featured actress, “The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window”); Jeanine Tesori (composer, “Kimberly Akimbo”); Joel Gray and John Kander (lifetime achievement); Beowulf Boritt (set design, “New York, New York”); Charlie Rosen (orchestrations “Some Like it Hot”).
