“I’m such a lucky actor. This is my third Tony Award. My first one was 53 years ago at my Broadway debut in the American premiere of an English play, which by an amazing coincidence originated at London’s Royal Court Theatre, just like GIANT. Two Tony bookends with 53 years between them.” - John Lithgow, Tony Award Winner 2026 🏆

Congratulations to John Lithgow on winning Best Leading Actor in a Play for GIANT.

We're incredibly proud to have premiered GIANT and to see its extraordinary journey continue on Broadway. ✨
