Hedwig and the Angry Inch (Best Revival of a Musical). After launching with Tony winner Neil Patrick Harris, Hedwig is still going strong.

Hall, co-creator and originator John Cameron Mitchell, and most recently, "Glee" star Darren Criss. Up next is original Rent star Taye Diggs, who starts in mid-July.

Raisin in the Sun (Best Revival of a Play). The critical hit, which boasted Denzel Washington, Anika Noni Rose and Tony winner Sophie Okonedo, ended its hit Broadway run a week after taking Tonys top revival honor. In interviews, cast members said they hoped to take the production to London for a limited run if Hollywood and Broadway star Washington could be convinced to continue. U.K. audiences are still awaiting word on Raisin, and the cast has moved onto other projects.

Jessie Mueller (Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical). After winning the Tony for playing Carole King onstage, Mueller continued her acclaimed run through March of this past year. "The accolades and all that are wonderful and great, but it's not the stuff that really matters — and I don't say that in an ungrateful way, I just try to say that in a realistic way," Mueller told Playbill.com in a candid interview just days before departing Beautiful. "I never want to walk around like I'm somebody. I think that's the easiest way to just fall down."

Her next project is the Broadway-bound Sara Bareilles musical Waitress, which premieres at the American Repertory Theater later this summer. Mueller told Playbill.com, "I think people are going to be surprised. They're going to get introduced to these characters and be surprised by how much there's a little bit of themselves in everyone that appears in the play. It's just a really hearty, meaty story about life and choices and all the stuff we have to navigate as we go through life. And then, on top of it, there's just this gorgeous music that she's written that sounds like her, but it's so of the world that they've created for the piece."

Neil Patrick Harris (Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical, Hedwig and the Angry Inch). NPH has had a whirlwind year. After his Tony win, he went on to conclude his Hedwig run last August, find time to publish his choose-your-own-adventure autobiography, host the Academy Awards (with a full Broadway-style opening number) and begin prep for his new live variety show "Best Time Ever," which premieres this fall on NBC.
