Tony Award for Best Revival

Encyclopedia : T : TO : TON : Tony Award for Best Revival

The Tony Award for Best Revival was presented from 1977 until 1994, when it was split up into the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical and the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play. If there are few enough revivals, it is possible under the current Tony rules for the "Best Revival of a Play or Musical" award to return. Any time there are three play revivals and three musical revivals, the categories are automatically separated; if there are fewer, the Tony Awards Administration Committee may still choose to split up the categories.

The award was given to the best play, musical or non-musical, which had already appeared on Broadway in a previous production.
