Australian actress Sarah Snook has won best actress at the 2025 Tony Awards, for a play where she acted all 26 roles.

The Broadway awards, hosted by Cynthia Erivo, started on Sunday night (10am Monday AEST) in New York and Snook won the first acting award for the play ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’.

“This means so much for a little Australian girl,” the Succession star said on stage.

She thanked her husband, Dave Lawson, for “holding down the fort and keeping our family together.”

Hours before the main even began Australian Marg Hornwell was announced as the winner of best costumes in a play for A Picture of Dorian Gray.

The production has six nominations, including best direction for Kip Williams with his fellow Australians Clemence Williams, Nick Schlieper, David Berman nominated for best sound, lighting, and set design - as well Hornwell’s win for costumes.

Before the awards show started, the fashion was out in full force with bright colour a huge theme of the night.
