Michelle also has daughter Matilda Ledger, 17, from her relationship with the late actor Heath Ledger, who died in 2008 at age 28.
Thomas was nominated as a producer of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Street Fleet in the category of Best Revival of a Musical.
The other nominees in the category included: Bob Fosse’s Dancin’, Camelot, Into The Woods and Parade.
This year’s ceremony at United Palace Theater was being hosted by seasoned actress Ariana DeBose and honored the best in theater with the coveted Tony Award.
The Tony Awards became the latest production to have been impacted by the ongoing Writers Guild of America Strike. It marks the first time in 35 years that the Tonys had been afflicted by the WGA strike.
Despite the challenges, the show will still go on.
The ceremony aired on CBS in an unscripted format, and the union has agreed not to picket the event. Broadway icon Lin-Manuel Miranda has also dropped out as writer of the opening segment in solidarity with the WGA.
