The 2026 Tonys are over, the winners are crowned, and — right on cue — ticket prices for every one of them just stood up and walked toward the ceiling. Here’s the good news: most of the night’s biggest winners still run a lottery or a rush, which means you can see Broadway’s best for the price of a nice lunch instead of a car payment. Here’s how, show by show.
Schmigadoon! — Best Musical
The fizzy ode to Golden Age musicals took the top prize, plus Best Book and Best Score. It runs a digital lottery through Broadway Direct — enter the day before, cross your fingers, check your email. See the Schmigadoon! lottery details.
Ragtime — Best Revival of a Musical
The Lincoln Center revival that sent voters home wrecked, with lead wins for Joshua Henry and Caissie Levy on top of the big one. Rush tickets through Telecharge are your move — get there early and bring patience. See Ragtime rush info.
Death of a Salesman — Best Revival of a Play
Six Tonys, the biggest haul of the night. Attention must be paid — and it can be paid cheaply, because Salesman runs a Telecharge rush. See Death of a Salesman rush info.
The Lost Boys
The vampire rock musical missed Best Musical but cleaned up everywhere else — direction, design, and a featured win for Shoshana Bean. It runs a Broadway Direct lottery. Enter the Lost Boys lottery.
Cats: The Jellicle Ball
The boldest swing of the season — Andrew Lloyd Webber by way of Harlem ballroom culture — took Direction, Choreography, and Costume Design. Telecharge rush. See Cats: The Jellicle Ball rush.
Giant
John Lithgow’s towering, monstrous Roald Dahl earned him his third Tony. You can rush it through Telecharge. See Giant rush info.
Becky Shaw
Alden Ehrenreich’s Broadway debut won Featured Actor in a Play. It runs a TodayTix lottery — quick to enter from your phone. Enter the Becky Shaw lottery.
The one that got away: Liberation
Bess Wohl’s Best Play winner has already closed — a reminder that on Broadway, “I’ll catch it later” is exactly how you don’t catch it. File it under lessons learned for next season.
The move
Every winner’s prices climb the week after the Tonys, and every lottery gets more crowded as the bandwagon rolls in. So enter early, enter often, and keep our Broadway lottery hub open — it has every live entry link in one place. See you in the cheap seats, which, for our money, are the best seats in the house.
