Tony Award
托尼奖

The Antoinette Perry Award for Excellence in Theatre, more commonly known informally as the Tony Award, named after Antoinette Perry, co-founder of the American Theatre Wing, recognizes the most outstanding achievement in live Broadway theatre. The awards are presented by the American Theatre Wing and The Broadway League at an annual ceremony in New York City. The awards are given for Broadway productions and performances, and an award is given for regional theatre. Several discretionary non-competitive awards are also given, including a Special Tony Award, the Tony Honors for Excellence in Theatre, and the Isabelle Stevenson Award.
托尼奖，全称为安东尼特·佩瑞奖，是以美国剧院联盟创办人之一安东尼特·佩瑞名字命名的百老汇剧场界最高荣誉，由美国剧院联盟与百老汇联盟每年在纽约举办。获得提名的均是在百老汇各剧院演出的剧目，地方性剧院的优秀剧目也会得到一个奖项。此外，还有一些不定期颁发的非竞赛类奖项，如托尼特别奖、托尼卓越戏剧奖和“伊莎贝尔·史蒂芬森奖”等。

The Tony Awards are considered the highest U.S. theatre honor, the New York theatre industry's equivalent to the Academy Awards (Oscars) for motion pictures, the Grammy Awards for music and the Emmy Awards for television, and the Laurence Olivier Award for theatre in the United Kingdom and the Molière Award of France. Starting with eleven awards in 1947, the names and number of categories have changed over the years. For example, the category Best Book of a Musical was originally called “Best Author (Musical)”. As of 2014, there are 24 categories of awards, plus several special awards. The most Tony Awards ever received by a single production was the musical The Producers (2001) with twelve awards, including best musical.
托尼奖被视为美国剧场界最高荣誉，相当于电影界的奥斯卡金像奖、音乐界的格莱美奖、电视界的艾美奖、英国戏剧界的劳伦斯·奥利弗奖和法国戏剧界的莫里哀奖。1947年托尼奖只颁出11个奖项，发展至今，奖项的数目和名称都发生了变化，例如“最佳音乐剧剧本”奖的前身为“最佳(音乐剧)作者”。2014年的托尼奖奖项覆盖24个单元，同时还颁发一些特别奖项。历史上，获托尼奖奖项最多的剧目是音乐剧《制作人》(2001)，共获得包括最佳音乐剧在内的12项大奖。
