All 2025 Tony Awards Performances, Ranked: Nicole Scherzinger, Megan Hilty & More (VIDEOS)

The 2025 Tony Awards featured epic performances from the year’s most buzzed-about musicals and more. With stars like Jonathan Groff, Megan Hilty, Nicole Scherzinger, and more currently on Broadway, the night was filled with epic moments.

Everyone absolutely crushed it on stage at the show, but some stood out above the rest. Scroll down for TV Insider’s ranking of the best and worst Tony Awards performances.

12. Maybe Happy Ending

I haven’t seen Maybe Happy Ending yet, and I don’t think I’ll be running to the theater based on this performance. Darren Criss and Helen J Chen are supremely talented, but was there not a better song they could’ve chosen for this show?

11. Floyd Collins

Jeremy Jordan definitely carried this one and he did an incredible job. It fell a little flat compared to some of the bigger numbers throughout the night, but plenty of talent nonetheless.

10. Dead Outlaw

A fun performance that got the vibe of the show across, but nothing that will totally stand out amongst some of the other more memorable moments.

9. Pirates! The Penzance Musical

This was truly a team effort as the cast came together to perform, but with so many other spectacular performances throughout the night, this fell a bit flat.

8. Buena Vista Social Club

The cast put on a lively rendition of the song “Candela” from the 10-time nominated show and proved why this was one of the most-nominated shows of the year.

7. Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical

This one was more fun than I expected! It gave Hamilton energy and was a lively offering toward the end of the show, lest anyone dare to start tuning out.

6. Just In Time

Groff had some assistance from Keanu Reeves in the audience for his performance of “Mack the Knife.” The actor played along when Groff climbed up on his seat toward the beginning of his performance and it provided a moment to be remembered.

5. Real Women Have Curves

This was such a fun performance that really got the plot of the musical across in just a matter of minutes. All of the ladies were incredible!

4. Sunset Boulevard

Scherzinger has gotten rave reviews for her Broadway debut in Sunset Boulevard, and this performance proved why. This performance wasn’t as flashy as some of the others, but just Scherzinger and her voice was enough for it to land this high on the list.

3. Gypsy

I mean, it’s Audra freakin’ McDonald! She is a Broadway legend and she always will be. As always, she crushed this performance from the buzzed-about show.

2. Death Becomes Her

Hilty’s several costume changes were beyond impressive and the ensemble cast members held their own with her energetic and upbeat performance.

1. Hamilton

No surprise here. Seeing the original cast together to honor the 10-year anniversary of the musical will without a doubt be remembered as THE moment of this show. They’ve still got it!
