Did Wicked win the Tony award for Best musical?

Answer 1

The musical 'Wicked' didn't win a Tony for best musical. Instead, the categories in which the musical was nominated and received the award were in designs of costumes and set, and in leading performance. In 2004, Susan Hilferty was the successful nominee for Best Costume Design. Gordon Lee was the successful nominee for Best Scene Design. Idina Kim Menzel [b. May 30, 1971] was the successful nominee for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical.

Answer 2

Wicked was nominated for ten 2004 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Book, Best Orchestration and twice for Best Leading Actress, for Menzel and Chenoweth. Menzel won the Best Actress award, and the show also won the Tony Awards for Best Scenic Design and Best Costume design, notably losing Best Book, Score and ultimately Best Musical to Avenue Q. In the same year, the show won six Drama Desk Awards out of eleven nominations, including Best Musical, Book, Director and Costume Design. The West End production was nominated for four Laurence Olivier Awards in 2007 but did not win any. At the 2010 Laurence Olivier Awards Wicked London won the Audience Award for Most Popular Show. While not technically an "award", the character of Elphaba was named 79th on Entertainment Weekly's list of The 100 Greatest Characters of the Past 20 Years.

Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical, to Idina Menzel
