Tony Awards

This year’s Tony nominees include everyone from Hillary Rodham Clinton, nominated as one of the producers of Suffs, to Angelina Jolie, nominated as one of the producers of The Outsiders. Both shows are contenders for best musical. In case you missed the announcement on Tuesday (April 30), Hell’s Kitchen, a musical loosely based on the […]

A musical, Hell’s Kitchen, and a play, Stereophonic, lead the 2024 Tony nominations, which were announced on Tuesday (April 30) live from Sofitel New York by Tony winners Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Renée Elise Goldsberry. Both productions received 13 nods.
Those two shows were followed in the nominations count by The Outsiders (12), Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club (nine), Appropriate (eight), Merrily We Roll Along and Water for Elephants (seven each), and Purlie Victorious: A Non-Confederate Romp Through the Cotton Patch and Suffs (six each).

The five nominees for best musical are Hell’s Kitchen, Illinoise, The Outsiders, Suffs and Water for Elephants.

Trending on Billboard

The 10 eligible musicals that were passed over for nods as best musical are: Back to the Future: The Musical, Days of Wine and Roses, The Great Gatsby, Harmony, The Heart of Rock and Roll, Here Lies Love, How to Dance in Ohio, Lempicka, The Notebook and Once Upon a One More Time.

The four nominees for best revival of a musical are Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club, which won best musical in 1967; The Who’s Tommy, which was nominated for best musical in 1993; Merrily We Roll Along, which received just one nod in 1982 – original musical score; and Gutenberg! The Musical!, which opened off Broadway in 2006 and on Broadway in 2023.

This is the third time Cabaret has been nominated for best revival of a musical, which puts it in a tie with six other shows for the most nods in this category. It joins Company, Fiddler on the Roof, Guys and Dolls, Gypsy, Peter Pan and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

The New Broadway Cast recording of Merrily We Roll Along — starring Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez — entered Billboard’s Cast Albums chart at No. 1 in November 2023 and returned to the top spot in January 2024. All three actors are nominated for Tonys for their performances.

The two eligible revivals that were passed over for nods for revival of a musical are The Wiz and Spamalot. The original productions of those musicals won best musical in 1975 and 2005, respectively.

Will Butler, formerly of Arcade Fire, was nominated in two categories – best original score and best orchestrations – for his work on Stereophonic. Jamestown Revival (Jonathan Clay and Zach Chance) and Justin Levine were nominated in those same two categories for their work on The Outsiders. Shaina Taub was also nominated in two categories – best original score and best book of a musical – for her work on Suffs.

The other nominees for best original score are David Byrne and Fatboy Slim (Here Lies Love) and Adam Guettel (Days of Wine and Roses). Byrne won an Oscar and a Grammy for his work on the score for the 1987 film The Last Emperor.

Former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton is nominated for best musical as a producer of Suffs. She won a Grammy in 1997 for her audiobook It Takes a Village. Jon B. Platt is nominated in that same category as a producer of Illinoise. LaChanze is nominated for best musical as a producer of The Outsiders and for best play as a producer of Jaja’s African Hair Brading. Taraj P. Henson is also nominated for best play for the latter work.

Eddie Redmayne is nominated for best actor in a musical for his role as the emcee in the revival of Cabaret. He won in the same category at the Olivier Awards in 2022, when the production had its West End revival. Actors from the Cabaret revival were Tony-nominated in all four acting categories. Gayle Rankin is up for best actress. Steven Skybell and Bebe Neuwirth are nominated for their featured roles.

Leslie Odom Jr., who won a Tony in 2016 for best actor in a musical for Hamilton, is nominated for best actor in a play for Purlie Victorious. Kelli O’Hara, who won a Tony for best actress in a musical in 2015 for The King and I, is nominated in that category again for Days of Wine and Roses.
