**Harvey Fierstein** and **Cyndi Lauper**'s **Kinky Boots** was the biggest winner of the night, winning six awards including Best Musical and Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical. Fingers crossed this will give new momentum to the rumoured West End transfer.
Another big winner was The revival of Stephen Schwartz' **Pippin** which won four awards, including Best Revival of a Musical and Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical for **Patina Miller**.
The Tony Award for Best Play went to **Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike**.
The evening was screened on CBS in the US, with many UK musical theatre fans scrambling to watch the show via streaming online. Hopefully next year, a deal will be done to screen the Tonys on UK television.
London Theatre Direct tweeted live results as they came in on Twitter. For a full list of winners, see below:
