Tony Award for Best Play

Legend:† marks winners of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama[1]

British writer Tom Stoppard has won this award five times, more than any other playwright.

Only seven other writers (Arthur Miller, Terrence McNally, Tony Kushner, Edward Albee, Neil Simon, Yasmina Reza and Peter Shaffer) have won the award more than once, each winning twice.

In 1994, Tony Kushner became the first playwright to win consecutive Tony Awards for his two-part Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes.

Terrence McNally repeated this feat the following two years with his plays Love!
