British productions took home seven awards from the 76th Tony Awards, which took place last night at the historic United Palace in New York City’s Washington Heights.
Jodie Comer, star of BBC’s Killing Eve, won the award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Playfor her role in the one-woman show Prima Facie (Lead Producer: SOLT member Empire Street Productions). Jodie won an Olivier Award earlier this year for the same role in the production’s 2022 London run. Collecting her Olivier Award in April this year, Jodie said, “Don’t let anybody tell you it isn’t possible… It might take the stars to align and for you to be met with such generous, kind, and nurturing people, but it is possible.”
