The 72nd Annual Tony Awards were held on Sunday, June 10, 2018, to recognize achievement in Broadway productions during the 2017–18 season. The ceremony was held at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, and was broadcast live by CBS.  
Sara Bareilles and Josh Groban served as hosts.

The Band's Visit was the most winning production of the season, with 10 awards, including Best Musical. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child won six awards, including Best Play, while Angels in America won three, including Revival of a Play.
The ceremony received positive reviews, with many highlighting the hosting duties of Bareilles and Groban.
    Both have made their Broadway debuts, Groban in 2016's "Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812," and Bareilles in 2017's "Waitress."
    Andrew Garfield gave a passionate speech while accepting the award for lead actor in a play for his work in "Angels in America. He referenced a recent Supreme Court decision relating to a Colorado baker to who declined to make a cake for a same-sex wedding.
    "We are all sacred and we all belong," Garfield said. "So, let's just bake a cake for everyone who wants a cake to be baked."
    Bruce Springsteen won a special Tony Award for his sold-out Broadway show, "Springsteen on Broadway." He also performed "My Hometown" later in the night.
    Actor Robert DeNiro caused a stir while introducing Springsteen's performance. The actor cursed twice saying, "f**k Trump." He received a standing ovation.
    "First, I wanna say, 'f**k Trump.' It's no longer 'Down with Trump,' it's 'f**k Trump.'"
    Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and Broadway star, Chita Rivera both received lifetime achievement awards.
