Which 2026 Tony-winning play won Best Sound Design of a Play for Mikaal Sulaiman?
Answer
Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman
Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman won Best Sound Design of a Play for Mikaal Sulaiman at the 2026 Tony Awards.
Sulaiman’s award recognized the sound work created for the Broadway revival of Miller’s classic drama. Sound design can shape a production’s atmosphere through music, effects, transitions, voices, and the acoustic character of the performance space, even when audiences do not consciously notice every element.
The revival was directed by Joe Mantello and became the ceremony’s most successful production, winning six awards. Its haul also included Best Revival of a Play, directing, acting, scenic design, and lighting design honors.
This category is distinct from Best Sound Design of a Musical, which went to Kai Harada for Ragtime. The Tony Awards separate sound design for plays and musicals because the two forms often use different performance structures, musical demands, and technical approaches.
