The busy 2023–24 Broadway season, which began with Grey House last June and saw more than 30 shows open, comes to an end with the Tony Award nominations. Leading the nominees are Stereophonic and Hell’s Kitchen with 13 apiece and The Outsiders with 12.
Read on for the major-category nominees (shows whose titles are not linked have finished their Broadway run) and celebrate all the season’s shows on June 16, 2024, when the awards are broadcast live from Lincoln Center, with Ariana DeBose hosting.
Viewers can participate in the official Tony Awards Challenge, an interactive ballot where fans predict the winners for the opportunity to win a range of prizes.
