I really loved this article. I could figure out EGO but I always forget about Broadway so I was trying to guess what the Tony’s was for.

Do these awards come with any cash gifts? Or special goodie packages?

Thanks, Ewere. It is so easy to forget theatre sometimes. While these awards don't come with cash prizes, it is commonly believed that the cash value of the award is in the potential auction value in the future. I know some of them have also placed a ban on selling the award to stop the black market trade.

Also, there are swag bags that contain some pretty cool items in them.

Of course, most importantly, the award could mean that your career is forever changed positively. Hence, more money.

A very enlightening article, Funmi! I don't think my dreams for an EGOT are valid are this time, lol, but I do look forward to a time when Nigerians will make the cut!
