Who was the youngest winner of tony award?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Frankie Michaels is the youngest winner of a Tony Award. He received the award for his performance as Patrick Dennis in Mame, and won the award just a month after his 11th birthday.

However, in 2013, the four actors who played Matilda in Matilda the Musical received a special Tony Honor for Excellence in the Theatre. Two of these actors were under 11 at the time they received the award: Sophia Gennusa was 9, and Oona Laurence was 10. Since this award was noncompetitive and simply in recognition of their work in Matilda, Frankie Michaels remains the youngest performer to win a Tony Award.
