The Tony Awards are under way and we've got a line on the winners! Partway through the evening we've got Andrew Garfield, Laurie Metcalf, Lindsay Mendez and more!

On BroadwayRadio's third annual Tony Omnibus episode, we look to fill in some of the gaps that have popped up in the theatre community's coverage of the award season. So often our focus during this five-week buildup to Sunday night's ceremony is on the performers and the writers who are front and center during this process. However, today, we are talking to two Tony nominees whose impact on their shows is no less important, despite the fact that they aren't the people getting the glossy stories in the New York and theatre media. We also talk to a journalist who brings important context to the New York theatre community.
