The nominations for the 2024 Tony Awards, honoring the best of Broadway, were announced Tuesday morning.
The 2023-2024 Broadway season was a highly competitive and unpredictable one. Fifteen new musicals opened during the past year, which is the widest field in at least three decades.
There were also 10 new plays, five play revivals and six musical revivals, including the widely acclaimed production of Stephen Sondheim’s “Merrily We Roll Along,” starring nominees Jonathan Groff, Daniel Radcliffe and Lindsay Mendez.
“Hell’s Kitchen,” “Illinoise,” “The Outsiders,” “Suffs” and “Water for Elephants” all earned Best Musical nominations. For Best Play, “Jaja’s African Hair Braiding,” “Mary Jane,” “Mother Play,” “Prayer for the French Republic” and “Stereophonic” were recognized.
The 2024 Tony Awards air from Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater in New York City on Sunday, June 16 on CBS.
