Broadway’s best musical winner had to delay its opening last fall and was selling poorly. But strong word-of-mouth and reviews helped this quirky show triumph.

Cue the fireflies. After netting ten Tony nominations, “Maybe Happy Ending” walked away from this year’s awards ceremony with six trophies including Best Musical and Best Leading Actor in a Musical for Darren Criss.

Nicole Scherzinger, Cole Escola and Sarah Snook were first-time winners, while the original cast of “Hamilton” reunited for a performance.

Attendees, including Ben Stiller, Lizzy McAlpine, Milo Manheim, Christian Siriano and Daniel Dae Kim, danced to a funk band underneath an oversize disco ball.

Buena Vista Social Club,” “Maybe Happy Ending” and “Stranger Things: The First Shadow” built up early heads of steam at the Tony Awards — well before Sunday's main event even started. Each had a leading three trophies from the pre-show.
