2025 Tony Awards Surprise: 'Maybe Happy Ending' Shines Bright
The 2025 Tony Awards celebrated a record-grossing Broadway season with 'Maybe Happy Ending' winning best musical. Darren Criss secured his first Tony as best leading actor in a musical. Warner Bros Discovery announced its separation into two publicly traded companies, while Disney finalized its complete acquisition of Hulu.

The dazzling night at Radio City Music Hall in New York saw 'Maybe Happy Ending' sweeping the Tony Awards for best musical as it boasts a charming tale of two robots exploring humanity in a post-pandemic era. The musical snatched three significant awards, making headlines in Broadway history. Darren Criss was also lauded with a Tony for his role as the ever-innocent Oliver, amplifying the gala's excitement.
In a major shift in the media landscape, Warner Bros Discovery announced its decision to bifurcate into two public entities. The move aims at better aligning its streaming and cable TV networks amidst an evolving entertainment economy. This decision underscores the ongoing transformation within the media industry, as companies seek strategies to enhance competitiveness in the streaming-driven era.
Meanwhile, Disney paved the way for new ventures by finalizing its complete takeover of Hulu from NBCUniversal. With this acquisition, Disney plans a more cohesive integration of its streaming services, namely Disney+ and ESPN, offering viewers a richer reservoir of content under its vast media umbrella.
