It was an awards season for the books. Productions backed by Thomas S. Perakos earned three 2025 Olivier Awards in London: Best New Musical for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Best New Play for Giant, whose star John Lithgow also won Best Lead Performance by an Actor, and Best New Entertainment or Comedy Play for Titanique.
Across the Atlantic, the 2025 Tony Award nominations added to the tally: seven nominations for the revival of Sunset Boulevard starring Nicole Scherzinger, including Best Musical Revival, and ten for Buena Vista Social Club, including Best New Musical.
"My support for theatrical productions is driven by my profound respect for everyone devoted to the arts. This passion fuels my strong, ongoing commitment to support writers and arts programs that help communities become sustainable and thrive for future generations."
Thomas S. Perakos
The same passion extends beyond the stage. Through the Perakos Family Cares Foundation, Mr. Perakos supports programs promoting wellness, goodness and kindness, with a focus on arts and culture, animal welfare and the health and safety of children and young adults. He has recently become involved with Broadway Barks in London and New York City, the shelter-pet adoption charity co-founded by Bernadette Peters and Mary Tyler Moore, and supports organizations from the Sun Valley Music Festival to Mountain Humane and Stella's Shelter Fund in Idaho's Wood River Valley.
