A Tony Award (also known as the Antoinette Perry Awards for Excellence in Theatre) is an award for achievement in American theatre (mostly Broadway). They are given yearly in New York City.

"Tony" is a shortened form of Antoinette. The proper name of the award is the Antoinette Perry Award for Excellence in Theatre, but rather than calling the award the long name, it is generally shortened to Tony.
