No va haver guardó el primer any. All My Sons ha estat senyalada erròniament com la Millor Obra de 1947, encara que guanyà el premi al Millor Autor per a Arthur Miller. L'any següent Mister Roberts rebé el primer Premi Tony a la Millor Obra. Autors i productors reben el trofeu.

El dramaturg britànic Tom Stoppard l'ha guanyat en quatre ocasions, més que ningú altre.
