The 77th Annual Tony Awards weren’t short on noteworthy moments, nor did they skimp on fashion. (I’m as obsessed with Jocelyn Bioh’s purple look as I am with Jeremy Strong’s little mustache, albeit in entirely different ways.) Not only were fan-favorite shows including Appropriate, Stereophonic, Suffs, Merrily We Roll Along, and Hell’s Kitchen honored, but there were plenty of celebrity sightings and surprise guests in the mix, too, as well as more than a few memorable musical numbers. Find all the best and biggest moments from the 2024 Tony Awards below.

DeBose nodded to Alicia Keys’s Hell’s Kitchen by telling the audience that she had also tried her hand at writing a musical, saying: “Here is the pitch. It’s three hours, no intermission, and it’s based on my BAFTA rap.” Angela Bassett may have done the thing, but DeBose is responsible for making said thing into a meme with genuine staying power. (That award show was a full year ago, and yet I still laughed at this joke!)
