Unpack the Tony Awards History of the 2026 Nominated Revivals
Do you know how many Tonys these shows won the first time around?
The results of the 2026 Tony races are very much still up in the air, but many of this season's nominated revivals have been Tony-tested before. How did they fare? The past may not always be the best indicator of the future, but accolades of years past provide interesting insight nonetheless. Check out a complete list of who was nominated, in what categories, and most importantly... if they won!
Though they were ruled as revivals, Becky Shaw and Every Brilliant Thing have not run on Broadway before now, therefore have not been eligible for Tony Awards for past productions.
