Premi Tony al Millor Llibret de Musical

El Premi Tony al Millor Llibret d'un Musical és atorgat als llibretistes del diàleg no cantat i de la història d'una obra musical. L'elecció queda restringida a espectacles amb una narrativa original; les revistes sense argument i els revivals no poden optar. Originàriament s'anomenava el Premi Tony al Millor Autor, fins que els musicals van ser separats del teatre de text.
