History of the Tony Award
Awarded by a panel of approximately 700 judges from various areas of the entertainment industry and press, it is generally regarded as the theatre's equivalent to the Oscars (which are awarded for excellence in film arts), the Grammys (excellence in musical performance), and the Emmys (excellence in television arts). The award was founded in 1947 by a committee of theatrical producers headed by Brock Pemberton, but not until the third awards ceremony in 1949 was the first Tony medallion actually given to award winners. The entertainment industry consists of a large number of sub-industries devoted to entertainment. ...

The effect of winning a Tony Award Winning a Tony award in a major category (Best Play, Best Musical, Best Play Revival, Best Musical Revival, Best Actor, Best Actress) can dramatically increase a show's ticket sales. A shortlist for the award is published several weeks before the award ceremony; between then and the announcement of the winners, plays advertise how many Tonys they have been nominated for. Often this advertisement is disingenuous, critics contend, as many shows are nominated by default in years where there are few new plays and musicals. This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...
Origin of the name "Tony," rules, and current categories
Antoinette "Tony" Perry The awards were named after Antoinette Perry, a founder of the American Theatre Wing. Eligibility for the awards is restricted to shows playing in Broadway theaters during the season in question; these theaters are defined not strictly by their proximity to Broadway, but by their seating capacity. (Having closed does not make a show ineligible, though the voters generally favor shows that are still running when the awards are given.) (Mary) Antoinette Perry (1888 – 1946), actress, director, and co-founder of the American Theatre Wing, was born in Denver, Colorado on June 27, 1888. ...

Rules for a "new" play or musical For the purposes of the award, a "new" play or musical is one that has not previously been produced on Broadway and is not part of the "historical or popular repertoire." This phrase has been the subject of some controversy, as some shows have been ruled ineligible for the "new" categories, meaning that their authors did not have a chance to win the marquee awards of Best Play or Best Musical (or Best Score or Best Book for musicals). On the other hand, some people feel that allowing plays and musicals which are commonly produced to be eligible as new gives them an unfair advantage, because they will have benefited from additional development time as well as additional familiarity with the Tony voters. Shows recently transferred from Off-Broadway or London theater are eligible as new; so are productions based closely on movies . Off-Broadway plays or musicals are performed in New York City in smaller theatres than Broadway, but larger than Off-Off-Broadway, productions. ...
