Tony Awards 2024 nominations were revealed on Tuesday, April 30. Two Broadway shows celebrating the origins of sonic creativity — the musical Hell’s Kitchen fueled by Alicia Keys songs, and the play Stereophonic about a ‘70s rock band at the edge of stardom — each earned a leading 13 nominations. The list of this year also saw a record number of women nominated for best director.
A total of 28 shows earned a Tony nod or more, with the musical The Outsiders, an adaptation of the beloved S. E. Hinton novel and the Francis Ford Coppola film, earning 12 nominations; a starry revival of Cabaret starring Eddie Redmayne, nabbing nine. Appropriate, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ searing play about a family reunion in Arkansas where everyone has competing motivations and grievances, grabbed eight nods.
