The Tony Awards were established in 1947 and they were used to award high achievements in theater. They were named in honor of Antoinette "Tony" Perry who recently died from a heart attack. The first Tony Award ceremony occurred at a dinner on April 6 with over 1,000 guests. Now, 5,000 attend the award ceremony and CBS airs it for millions of others to view.
Each winner is awarded a coveted gold medallion on a black pedestal. On one side is the face of the late Antoinette Perry, and the other is the theater faces of comedy and tragedy.
