Broadway’s best musical winner had to delay its opening last fall and was selling poorly. But strong word-of-mouth and reviews helped this quirky show triumph.

Cue the fireflies. After netting ten Tony nominations, “Maybe Happy Ending” walked away from this year’s awards ceremony with six trophies including Best Musical and Best Leading Actor in a Musical for Darren Criss.

The biggest? Best Actress in a Musical ladies Nicole Scherzinger in “Sunset Blvd.” vs. Audra McDonald in “Gypsy,” and the biggest diva showdown in recent memory ended up in victory for the former Pussycat Doll frontwoman, denying McDonald a seventh Tony for acting, which would have increased her own existing record.

Nicole Scherzinger, Cole Escola and Sarah Snook were first-time winners, while the original cast of “Hamilton” reunited for a performance.

"Maybe Happy Ending" musical wins six Tonys, with Darren Criss and Nicole Scherzinger taking lead acting awards.
