This Years Tony Award Nominations!

Author ScarletScarlet, May 9th, 2023

Your complete list of Tony Award nominations

The 76th Tony Award nominations have been announced! A total of 38 shows were eligible for nominations, with 27 making the cut. Funny Girl's Lea Michele and previous Tony Winner Myles Frost had the honor of announcing this years nods.

The classic romantic comedy, 'Some Like It Hot', picked up the most nominations with 13 including Best New Musical! 'Shucked', '& Juliet' and 'New York, New York' all followed with nine nominations. 'Kimberly Akimbo' and everyone's favorite barber 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street' received eight nods. 'Ain't No Mo' surprised as, with only two weeks of performances, the production scooped up six nominations (will we see it return?) - alongside 'Leopoldstadt', 'A Doll's House', 'Into The Woods' and 'Parade'. 'Cost of Living', 'Fat Ham', 'Camelot' and 'Life of Pi' are all members of the five nominations club. Now I might be speaking for myself, but I thought Prima Facie would be at the front of the Tony Award race alongside 'Some Like It Hot' and '& Juliet', but the show starring Jodie Comer received four nominations. 'Good Night, Oscar', 'KPOP' and 'A Christmas Carol' received three nominations, 'Between Riverside and Crazy', 'The Piano Lesson', 'The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window', 'Topdog/Underdog' and 'Death of a Salesman' received two. And 'Summer 1976', 'Ohio State Murders' and 'Almost Famous' received one.

We're in for a treat when this years ceremony kicks off on June 11.
