The lead producers and the authors may go to the microphone and accept the trophy. The authors and one producer may share their speech time.

All other producers go to the another designated area in the theater and the camera will pan to them during the speech.

Whoever plays the character referenced in the title. Sometimes it can get a bit weird. Matthew James Thomas accepted for PIPPIN. The four leads accepted for VANYA, SONIA... The boots accepted for KINKY BOOTS. Virginia Woolf's ghost accepted for WHO'S AFRAID.

Officially: The producers.

For new plays, often the playwright is also included since there is no separate award for that.

I was wondering cause I remember the whole cast sometimes goes up on stage and sometimes just producers.
