Writer and producer Diablo Cody already has an Oscar for her 2007 film Juno, and now she’s the proud owner of a Tony for best book for the Alanis Morissette rock musical Jagged Little Pill. Now she just has an Emmy and a Grammy to go! Matthew Lopez’s epic, seven-hour AIDS drama The Inheritance scored a win for best play, making Lopez the first Latino writer to take home the Tony in that category (and, hopefully, setting a new standard for the kinds of wide-ranging queer stories that can be told on Broadway). Remember the recent Broadway adaptation of A Christmas Carol? No? Well, the joke’s on you, because the holiday-themed production now has five Tonys to its name. God bless us, everyone! Tonys cohost Leslie Odom Jr. was joined by his Carnegie Mellon classmate Josh Groban and Beanie Feldstein—theater-kid extraordinaire—to honor the work of arts teachers, with each speaking passionately about the importance of arts education for students everywhere. Not a bad message to drive home, as we’re still in a pandemic that’s disproportionately affecting teachers.
