Jackson also won for best book. “A Strange Loop” beat “MJ,” a bio musical of the King of Pop’s biggest hits, for the top prize, although the other Jackson musical nabbed four Tony Awards including for best choreography.

The season — with 34 new productions — represents a full return to theaters after nearly two years of a pandemic-mandated shutdown.
