Julie Harris
Actress Julie Harris is tied with Chita Rivera for the Tony record for most nominations by a performer, with 10. Harris won five Tonys for acting, and received a lifetime achievement Tony in 2002.

Chita Rivera
Chita Rivera has received 10 Tony nominations (and two wins), beginning with her Best Featured Actress in a Musical nomination for "Bye, Bye, Birdie" in 1961 (pictured), and most recently for the 2015 musical, "The Visit."
Audra McDonald
With her Tony win in 2014 for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Play, for "Lady Day at Emerson's Bar & Grill," Audra McDonald set a Tony record for most wins by a performer, with six.
Her five previous Tonys were for "Carousel," "Master Class," "Ragtime," "A Raisin in the Sun," and "Porgy & Bess."
Jason Robards Jr.
The recipient of the most Tony nominations by a male actor is Jason Robards Jr., with eight. The star of such classic productions as "Long Day's Journey Into Night," "After the Fall" and "A Moon for the Misbegotten" only won the Tony once, however, for 1959's "The Disenchanted" (left, with Rosemary Harris).
Stephen Sondheim
The most-honored composer in Tony history is Stephen Sondheim. He won seven Tonys for his shows "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," "Company," "Follies," "A Little Night Music," "Sweeney Todd," "Into the Woods," and "Passion," and an eighth in 2009 for lifetime achievement.
"Pippin"
In 1973 Ben Vereen won the Tony for Best Actor in a Musical for his performance as the "Leading Player" in the musical "Pippin." Forty years later, Patina Miller won Best Actress in a Musical for her performance as the "Leading Player" in the show's 2013 revival - the only time Tonys were won by both a man and a woman for the same role.
"Dancin'"
Bob Fosse is the most-honored choreographer, with eight Tony Awards, for "The Pajama Game," "Damn Yankees," "Redhead," "Little Me," "Sweet Charity," "Pippin," "Dancin'" (left), and "Big Deal." Fosse also won a directing Tony for "Pippin."
Bob Fosse
In 1973 Bob Fosse became the only director to win a Tony, an Oscar, and an Emmy in the same year: for "Pippin" on Broadway, the movie adaptation of "Cabaret," and the TV production "Liza with a Z," starring Liza Minnelli.
"Fun Home"
"Fun Home" (2015) by Lisa Kron and Jeanine Tesori, based on the graphic novel by Alison Bechdel, became the first show written entirely by women to win the Tony for Best Musical.
Scenic Design
Within nine years Oliver Smith won eight Tony Awards for scenic design, the most by any designer. His roster of winning stage settings includes (left) "My Fair Lady," "The Sound of Music" and "Hello, Dolly!," as well as "West Side Story," "Becket," "Camelot," and "Baker Street," in addition to a special Tony Award in 1965.
"The Coast of Utopia"
The most Tonys won by a play production was seven by Tom Stoppard's "The Coast of Utopia" in 2007. The three-play cycle starred Ethan Hawke, Martha Plimpton, Jennifer Ehle, Billy Crudup, Richard Easton, Brían F. O'Byrne and Jason Butler Harner.
Harold Prince
Director-producer Harold Prince has received more Tony Awards than any other individual - 21. His first was for producing the 1955 musical, "The Pajama Game."

Mike Nichols
The Most Tony Wins for Best Direction of a Play goes to Mike Nichols (left, in an undated photo, and with Tim Curry in 2005 on opening night of "Spamalot!"), Nichols won six, for "Barefoot in the Park" (1964), "Luv" and "The Odd Couple" (1965), "Plaza Suite" (1968), "The Prisoner of Second Avenue" (1972), "The Real Thing" (1984), and "Death of a Salesman" (2012).
He also won for directing the musical "Monty Python's Spamalot" (2005), and for producing "Annie" (1977) and "The Real Thing" (1984), for a total of nine Tonys.
Twin Wins
Between the two of them, twin bothers Peter Shaffer and Anthony Shaffer won three Tony Awards for Best Play: Peter for "Sleuth," and Anthony for "Amadeus" (pictured: Frank Langella as Salieri) and "Equus."
Lighting Design
The most-honored lighting designer in Tony history is Jules Fisher, who has won nine times. His Tony victories include "Pippin" (1973), "Ulysses in Nighttown" (1974), "Dancin'" (1978), "Grand Hotel: The Musical" (1990), "The Will Rogers Follies" (1991), "Jelly's Last Jam" (1992), and (with Peggy Eisenhauer) 1996's "Bring in 'da Noise, Bring in 'da Funk" (left, with Savion Glover), "Assassins" (2004), and "Lucky Guy" (2013).
"Death of a Salesman"
Call it a "four-peat": Arthur Miller's drama, "Death of a Salesman," won the Tony for Best Play in 1949. It is the only play to subsequently win the Tony for Best Revival three times.
Clockwise from left: Mildred Dunnock, Lee J. Cobb, Arthur Kennedy, and Cameron Mitchell in the original "Death of a Salesman." The 1984 revival starred Dustin Hoffman as Willy Loman. Elizabeth Franz and Brian Dennehy starred in the 1999 revival; and in 2012 Linda Emond, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Andrew Garfield brought the play back to Broadway.
Richard Rodgers Theatre
The Richard Rodgers Theatre (formerly the 46th Street Theatre) holds bragging rights for staging the most Tony-winning Best Plays and Musicals (10), including "Guys and Dolls," "Damn Yankees," "Redhead," "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," "1776," "Raisin," "Nine," "Fences," "Lost in Yonkers," and "In The Heights."
And the show currently on stage at the Richard Rodgers? "Hamilton."
"The Scottsboro Boys"
