The Tony Awards nominations are here. And it’s been a starry Broadway season, with a host of new plays and musicals as well as a bounty of screen actors.
George Clooney is starring in “Good Night, and Good Luck,” and Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal have been sparring as Othello and Iago.
Stars of HBO’s “Succession” have also flocked to the stage: Sarah Snook plays Dorian Gray, Lord Henry Wotton and 24 other characters in “The Picture of Dorian Gray”; Kieran Culkin makes deals as a wily salesman in “Glengarry Glen Ross”; and earlier in the season Sydney Lemmon and Peter Friedman did a pas de deux as a twisted patient and therapist duo in “Job.”
The nominees for this year’s Tony Awards, which are presented by the Broadway League and the American Theater Wing, will be announced Thursday morning by the Tony winners Sarah Paulson and Wendell Pierce.
Some of the top contenders for a best new musical nomination include “Operation Mincemeat,” a British comedy about a planted corpse; “Maybe Happy Ending,” a sweet tale of two robots grappling with love and obsolescence; and “Buena Vista Social Club,” a joyous flashback to the Havana music scene inspired by the 1997 album.
Select nominations will air on CBS at 8:30 a.m. E.D.T. The remaining categories will be announced on the official Tony Awards YouTube page at 9 a.m. The full list of nominees will be available at TonyAwards.com immediately after the broadcast and livestream.
The 78th Tony Awards are planned for June 8 at Radio City Music Hall. The ceremony’s host will be Cynthia Erivo, a 2016 Tony winner for her role as Celie in “The Color Purple,” who is fresh off a whirlwind year of “Wicked” press tours and an Oscar nomination.
Follow below for a full list of nominees, which will be updated as the announcements are made.
