In 1983, a three-act groundbreaking work, Torch Song Trilogy, was one of the big winners on Tony night, picking up awards for Best Play and Best Leading Actor in a play for it's author and leading man, then-newcomer Harvey Fierstein.

This year, the play returned to Broadway in a condensed two-act version titled Torch Song and earned another nomination for Best Revival of A Play.
