Hell’s Kitchen, a musical loosely based on the early life of Alicia Keys and featuring her music, and Stereophonic, a David Adjmi play, led 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.
That allowed Stereophonic to set a new record for most nominations by a play. The old record was set in 2020 by Slave Play, with 12 nods. Will Butler, formerly of Arcade Fire, was nominated in two categories – best original score and best orchestrations – for his work on Stereophonic. It’s rare for a play to receive nominations in music categories.
Hell’s Kitchen and Stereophonic were followed in the nominations count by The Outsiders (12), based on the 1967 novel by S.E. Hinton and 1983 film by Francis Ford Coppola. Next in line were Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club (nine nods), 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.
Here Lies Love was passed over for a best musical nomination, despite earning four total nods – more than any other show that failed to receive a best musical or best play nod. The nine other eligible musicals that were passed over for best musical nods are: Back to the Future: The Musical, Days of Wine and Roses, The Great Gatsby, Harmony, The Heart of Rock and Roll, 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. (These were the only nods for The Who’s Tommy and Gutenberg! The Musical!.)
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.
Jamestown Revival (Jonathan Clay and Zach Chance) and Justin Levine were nominated in two categories — best original score and best orchestrations — 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.
The 2024 American Theatre Wing’s Tony Awards are presented by The Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing. The 2023-24 eligibility season began on April 28, 2023, and ended on Thursday, April 25, 2024. Tony Awards in 26 competitive categories will be voted on by 836 designated Tony voters within the theatre community.
The 77th Annual Tony Awards, which will be hosted by Ariana DeBose for the third consecutive year, will air live on both coasts from the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City on Sunday, June 16 (8-11 p.m. ET/5-8 p.m. PT) on CBS and will stream on Paramount+ in the U.S.
The Tony Awards are produced in collaboration with Tony Award Productions, a joint venture of the Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing, and White Cherry Entertainment. Ricky Kirshner and Glenn Weiss are showrunners and executive producers for White Cherry Entertainment, and Weiss will serve as director. Jack Sussman is also an executive producer.
CBS and Pluto TV will present a pre-show, The Tony Awards: Act One, leading into the Tonys. Viewers can access the show on their smart TV, streaming device, mobile app or online by going to Pluto TV and clicking on the “ET” channel.
