Four trophies, one career milestone. The EGOT—Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony—remains show business’s most exclusive achievement, and only a select few have crossed that finish line. This spotlight rounds up heavy hitters who’ve earned their place: musical-theatre titan Andrew Lloyd Webber, genre-spanning hitmaker John Legend, lyric master Sir Tim Rice, multi-hyphenate powerhouse Jennifer Hudson, and two-time EGOT wunderkind Robert Lopez.
John Legend
Parlayed his sultry piano-driven soul into EGOT status while maintaining his throne on The Voice, proving versatility can be devastatingly smooth.
Andrew Lloyd Webber
Reigns as musical theater royalty, his compositions having dominated stages for decades with an almost aristocratic inevitability.
Jennifer Hudson
Claimed the honor with grace, becoming the youngest woman to do so after her Tony win as producer of A Strange Loop — a fitting capstone to a journey that began with her transformative turn in Dreamgirls.
Sir Tim Rice
Crafted the witty, heartfelt lyrics that brought their collaborations — and later, Disney’s animated renaissance — to shimmering life.
Robert Lopez
The wunderkind who has achieved not one but two complete EGOTs, and his fingerprints are on everything from Avenue Q’s irreverence to Frozen’s anthemic power.
