It's Tony season on Broadway and this week we have two major figures of American theatre who have won nine Tony Awards between them: Audra McDonald and Jason Robert Brown.

Performer Audra McDonald is currently on a concert tour of Australia. Her first Tony Award came for her breakthrough role in Rodgers & Hammerstein's Carousel and she's added five more Tonys to her collection since then. And the composer and lyricist Jason Robert Brown won his first Tony Award for Parade, which is coming to Sydney's Seymour Centre.
