Monday, June 8Monday, June 8The Tony Awards 2026 last night crowned *Death of a Salesman* as the night’s biggest winner, with Joe Mantello’s stripped-back revival securing six awards, including Best Revival of a Play. The production’s triumph underscored the enduring resonance of Arthur Miller’s 1949 masterpiece, a theme Mantello emphasized in his acceptance speech. “This play still talks to us through time,” he said, calling it “a story that continues to teach us who we are as humans and Americans.”
Lesley Manville and John Lithgow claimed the night’s top acting honors, with Manville winning Best Actress in a Play for her portrayal of Linda Loman and Lithgow taking Best Actor for his role as Willy Loman. The awards were presented at a ceremony that celebrated both classic drama and contemporary musicals, with *Ragtime* and *Schmigadoon!* also picking up wins in the musical categories.
The ceremony, held in New York, drew attention for its balance between tradition and innovation. Nathan Lane, accepting the Best Revival award on behalf of the cast, framed *Death of a Salesman* as “a play that continues to teach us who we are.” The production’s minimalist staging, praised for its emotional intensity, stood in contrast to the lavish spectacle often associated with Broadway.
Critics and audiences alike noted the night’s thematic cohesion, with several winners reflecting on the play’s relevance in an era of economic uncertainty and generational divides. Lithgow, 80, delivered a performance that critics described as a masterclass in vulnerability, while Manville’s Linda Loman was hailed as a tour de force of restraint and pathos. Their wins were met with standing ovations, a rare moment of unanimity in an industry often divided by artistic tastes.
The Tonys’ emphasis on *Death of a Salesman* comes at a time when Miller’s work is experiencing a resurgence in global productions, from London’s West End to Tokyo’s Shibuya district. The play’s exploration of the American Dream—its promises and its failures—has found new audiences in an era marked by financial instability and social upheaval. Mantello, in his remarks, suggested that the play’s power lay in its universality, a sentiment echoed by Lane, who called it “a story for all seasons.”
As the curtain fell on the 2026 Tonys, the night’s biggest winner stood not just as a celebration of theatrical achievement, but as a reminder of the enduring power of storytelling to illuminate the human condition. With *Death of a Salesman* leading the way, the awards served as both a tribute to the past and a beacon for the future of live performance.

Alice and Steve review – Jemaine Clement and Nicola Walkers icky comedy is dated and wrong This tale of a midlife man dating his best friends 26-year-old daughter is interminable, and so unconvincing that Clement looks embarrassed throughoutIll be honest with you – committed pessimist that I am, pseudo-incest was still not a square on my 2026 bingo card. But then along comes Alice and Steve to prove me wrong! Its nice to find that life still has ways to surprise you.The titular characters are best friends and have been since they met at university, 30-plus years ago. Alice (Nicola Walker) is on her second marriage, to a sweet, contented beta-male (Daniel, played by Joel Fry) to her alpha-woman; he is 10 years younger than she is. They have a teenage son, and have raised her daughter Izzy (Yali Topol Margalith) from childhood. Izzy is now 26 and just back home after breaking up with her boyfriend. Continue reading...

My life is about beauty: Julie Newmar at 92 on shocking the world as Catwoman – and caring for her son She starred in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, had to stoop when she danced with Fred Astaire, then became world-famous – and a gay icon – in the original Batman series. But her life behind the scenes has been just as interesting ...Julie Newmar is showing me her secret garden: an oasis of greenery around her house in Brentwood, Los Angeles, that is crammed with trees, flowers, sculptures and labyrinthine paths. It feels like a little piece of old-school Hollywood, untouched by the world outside. Here, try one, Newmar says as she leans over from her mobility scooter and picks me a blueberry from a bush. Isnt that nice? Its a well-maintained jungle of begonias, jasmine, geraniums, fruit trees, and above all, roses. She has 90 varieties, she says, including one named after her. That ones Marilyn Monroe, she says, pointing out a creamy pink one. Doesnt it look like her flesh? Monroes former house is just up the road, she mentions. Newmar has lived here for decades with her son, John, who has Downs syndrome. They spend a lot of time out here.I would say my life is about beauty, Newmar says. I want to be a beautiful old woman; beauty in the garden; beauty in your behaviour, in your treatment of others. Because we all know that lifes a circle. All this stuff comes back. And in my 90s now, one has evolved. Big things happen now and theyre more in the metaphysical, theyre in the what can I do for others? Because Ive already done it for myself. Continue reading...
