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.
The nominees for this year’s 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.
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.
