One of Finn's greatest commercial successes was Falsettos, the combination of the latter two parts of his Falsettos Trilogy. It won two 1992 Tony Awards for Best Original Score and Best Book of a Musical, the latter shared with James Lapine. More recently, Finn was acclaimed for the success of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, for which he wrote both music and lyrics. The show won two Tony Awards in 2005; one for Best Book of a Musical, and another for the Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical, and toured the United States in 2006. Presently, Finn is continuing to compose and is a teacher of musical theater composition at New York University (NYU)
