Queerty on MSNThe absolute queerest moments from the 2025 Tony AwardsBroadway's biggest night was extra queer this year, including host Cynthia Erivo, Harvey Fierstein, Jonathan Groff & Cole Escola.
The 2025 Tony Awards brought glamorous fashion, history-making wins, heart-wrenching performances, and plenty of laughs. As the evening’s host, Wicked star Cynthia Erivo delivered Broadway references, celebrity roasts, a lovely performance, incredible ensembles, and quirky moments that are set to stay in our minds for years to come.
Celebrating the finest in theatre, notable moments from the night included Hamilton's original cast reuniting for its 10-year anniversary performance, Cole Escola making Broadway history as the first non-binary actor to win the Best Actor category, and, let us not forget, Nicole Scherzinger's victory for Best Actress in a musical.
