The Tony Award nominations are here — and new musicals “Schmigadoon!” and “The Lost Boys” lead the pack with a whopping 12 nominations apiece. On the heels of the two leaders is the revival musical “Ragtime,” with 11 nods.
Just 30 Broadway productions were eligible for Tony nominations this year, a significant decrease from 42 last season, tightening competition for the award.
The nominations were announced Tuesday morning by Uzo Aduba, a three-time Emmy Award-winning actress and a 2022 Tony nominee for her performance in “Clyde’s,” and Darren Criss, who won his first Tony last year for his role in “Maybe Happy Ending.”
Here is a complete list of the 2026 Tony Award nominees.
When are the 2026 Tony Awards?
The 79th annual Tony Awards will air live on Sunday, June 7, from the Radio City Music Hall in New York City on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. The award show will be host by Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, Pink.
“It is the honor of an entire lifetime to host a night celebrating the literal hardest-working people in showbiz,” Pink said in a statement.
She added, “Broadway has shaped my life and how I put my own shows together — it is a community that is supportive, and inclusive, and full of talent and love. These people give magic every single day, and I cannot wait to celebrate them with the entire world.”
