A post shared by Max Clayton (@maxmclayton)It’s been quite a week for Broadway power couple Matt Doyle and Max Clayton.First, Doyle won a Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical for his role as the anxious gay groom in Company.
Marianne Elliott’s gender-swapping revival won five Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical.“We have been to hell and back together and I love you all so much,” Doyle said in his acceptance speech, referencing the pandemic that temporarily shuttered the production.
He thanked onstage husband Etai Benson, who plays fiancé Paul, then turned his attention to his boyfriend. “… and my real-life Paul, Max Clayton.
I love you. I don’t know what I’d do without you. And you really do leave love notes all over the place, and I cannot believe what you put up with.”Related: Inside Matt Doyle’s unapologetically gay, Tony-winning performance in ‘Company’Ariana DeBose hosted this year’s awards, bringing fresh flair to an evening that can occasionally feel stuffy.
