Four Tonys Already Awarded

Hey, four Tony Award winners have already been announced, as you'll see in this story from the Associated Press:
Jerry Herman is set for a special Tony Award.

The Tony administration committee says the composer of Hello, Dolly! and Mame will receive a special lifetime-achievement prize during the awards ceremony June 7 at Radio City Music Hall. Nominations will be announced Tuesday.

The 2009 regional-theater Tony will go to the Signature Theatre of Arlington, Va. Other special prizes will go to veteran press agent Shirley Herz and to Phyllis Newman who founded the Phyllis Newman Women's Health Initiative of The Actors Fund.

Herman already has won Tonys for Hello, Dolly! and La Cage aux Folles.
EDIT: I corrected the title of this post, where I had inadvertently written "One Tony Already Awarded." Math is hard!
