Daniel Radcliffe took home the gold at the 77th Annual Tony Awards on Sunday night.
For his performance in the buzzy production of Stephen Sondheim’s “Merrily We Roll Along,” the “Harry Potter” star won Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a musical, marking his first Tony nomination and win.
“Back to the Future“‘s Roger Bart, Joshua Boone and Sky Lakota-Lynch (from “The Outsiders”), Brandon Victor Dixon (“of Hell’s Kitchen”) and “Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club” actor Steven Skybell was also in his category.
The 34-year-old Brit previously appeared on Broadway in “The Lifespan of a Fact,” “The Cripple of Inishmaan,” “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” and “Equus,” his Broadway debut.
“I’m going to just talk fast and try not to cry,” Radcliffe began his acceptance speech. “This has been one of the best experiences of my life.”
He called out co-stars Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez, saying, “I really don’t have to act in this show. I just have to look at you and feel everything I want to feel. I will never have it this good again. So thank you.”
Groff is nominated for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical and Mendez is up for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical — which she won for “Carousel” in 2018.
