Who won the 2019 Tony for Best Featured Actress in a Play for the Broadway To Kill a Mockingbird?

Celia Keenan-Bolger won the 2019 Tony for Best Featured Actress in a Play for Broadway’s To Kill a Mockingbird.

Keenan-Bolger played Scout Finch in Aaron Sorkin’s stage adaptation of Harper Lee’s novel. The Broadway production began previews in November 2018 and officially opened at the Shubert Theatre in December, with Bartlett Sher directing and Jeff Daniels playing Atticus Finch.

At the 73rd Tony Awards in 2019, she won the category then formally titled Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Play. Her performance presented Scout as both a character within the Maycomb story and the adult narrator reflecting on its events.

The award is sometimes confused with the Tony for Best Actor in a Play, for which Jeff Daniels was nominated. Keenan-Bolger also won major New York theater honors for the role, including the Drama Desk Award and Outer Critics Circle Award.
