39th Tony Awards

39th Tony Awards

The 39th Annual Tony Awards was broadcast by CBS television on June 2, 1985 from the Shubert Theatre. Instead of a formal host, there was a group of performers/presenters. Some paid tribute to the songs of Jule Styne, Cy Coleman, Andrew Lloyd Webber, with these composers ending the broadcast by playing songs from their respective new shows. Mary Martin introduced the Special Award for Yul Brynner. [O'Connor,John J."New York Times", June 4, 1985, p.C13] For the first time in Tony history, awards were not presented for lead actor and actress in a musical and choreography. [Freedman,Samuel G."New York Times", June 3, 1985, p.C15] [ [http://www.broadway.com/gen/Buzz_Story.aspx?ci=513006 The Insider,] Ken Mandelbaum, broadway.com]
