EXCLUSIVE: The 71st annual Tony Awards may be the site of a Broadway rebellion.

Just six producers will be permitted onstage to accept each major award — for play, musical and play and musical revival — according to an email from League President Charlotte St. Martin and Tony Award Productions that was obtained by Broadway Journal.
