4 Tony winners named before telecast begins
NEW YORK — The Tony Awards telecast has not yet begun but there are already four people who have the prized statuettes.
Costume designer Jane Greenwood finally won one for her work on “Lillian Hellman’s The Little Foxes.” She has been nominated 21 times and already taken home a lifetime achievement award. On the musical side, Santo Loquasto won for his designs for the revival of “Hello, Dolly!” starring Bette Midler.
Other winners included scenic designer Nigel Hook, for creating the complex and seemingly dangerous set for “The Play That Goes Wrong” and Mimi Lien for designing the set for “Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812.”
The Tonys are Sunday night.
