Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe was one of those who was awarded at the American Tony gala.
This is one of the best experiences of my life, he said in his acceptance speech.
Radcliffe received an award for his contribution to the new production of the musical "Merrily We Roll Along", with text and music by Stephen Sondheim.
The award for best new musical went to "The Outsiders", which is based on the novel of the same name and tells the story of two rival gangs in 1960s Oklahoma.
In the category of the year's new play, "Stereophonic" won, which follows a band and the turbulent period during which they record their new album and the band members' lives take new directions. The play is inspired by Fleetwood Mac and their classic album "Rumours" from 1977.
Jeremy Strong, known for his role as Kendall Roy in "Succession", also took home a first Tony. He was awarded as best leading actor in Henrik Ibsen's political play from 1882, "An Enemy of the People".
The Tony Award is presented to the best productions in the renowned theatre district of Broadway in New York.
