Find out who’s nominated for the 75th annual Tony Awards.
On Monday, performers Adrienne Warren and Joshua Henry presented the nominees for the 75th annual Tony Awards, which recognizes the best in live theater over the past year.
After the pandemic derailed the 2020 season, the Broadway world is back on track with new and returning star-studded productions resuming performances in New York City. The road to recovery, however, wasn’t without its setbacks. Despite resuming performances, many productions were paused due to coronavirus outbreaks among the cast and crew, forcing the eligibility period to be extended from April 28 to May 4.
That said, the Broadway world is pushing forward and celebrating the achievements of the 2021-2022 season.
Among this year’s top nominees are A Strange Loop, which earned 11 nominations, the most for any original musical or eligible production, and The Lehman Trilogy garnered eight nominations, the most for any original play. Meanwhile, Company and For Colored Girls were the two most recognized revivals of the year, earning nine and seven nominations, respectively.
When it comes to individual recognition, Hugh Jackman earned his second nomination for a Leading Actor in a Musical for The Music Man. He previously won the category in 2004 for The Boy From Oz and was the recipient of a special Tony Award in 2012. Meanwhile, Ruth Negga earned her first-ever nomination for Leading Actress in a Play for Macbeth, and is up against two-time winner Mary-Louise Parker for How I Learned to Drive.
Other notable first-time nominees include Jesse Williams and Jesse Tyler Ferguson for Take Me Out and Rachel Dratch for POTUS.
Check out the full list of the nominees below and be sure to tune in to see who wins when the 75th annual Tony Awards hosted by Ariana DeBose will be handed out live at Radio City Music Hall on Sunday, June 12, during a four-hour television event, starting at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on Paramount+ before continuing on CBS at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
