Tony Award for Best Sound Design

The Tony Awards for Best Sound Design of a Play and Best Sound Design of a Musical recognize excellence in sound design for Broadway theatre. They were first given in the 2007–2008 season.[1] In 2014, the Tony Awards Administration Committee announced that starting with the 2014-2015 season the Tony Awards for Best Sound Design of a Play and of a Musical would be eliminated.[2] In 2017, the committee announced that the two Sound Design awards would again be presented starting in the 2017–2018 season.[3]

gollark: I checked, I have more but they all break.
gollark: I only have something like three installed as far as I know, and they're all broken.
gollark: I'd kind of expect other people to have noticed and reported this if it is actually a general problem with these versions, since I'm using calibre and qt from the repos.
gollark: I tried downgrading it from 5.14.2 to 5.14.1 or something, but that didn't do anything, and I probably can't downgrade further without just reverting all my package versions to a week or so ago, which is not ideal.
gollark: Anyone know why the Qt-using applications (deepin-screenshot, multiMC, calibre) on my laptop recently started segfaulting after I updated my system?
