Hosting this year's ceremony was Tony Award® winner Brian Stokes Mitchell, most recently seen on Broadway in Shuffle Along, Or The Making of the Musical Sensation of 1921 and All That Followed, with a special performance by Beautiful star Sarah Bockel.
At this industry-wide reception, theatre professionals receive special recognition for having worked 25, 35 and 50+ years on Broadway for their valuable contributions to the business.
