The best of Broadway from the last year in theater is one step closer to being awarded.
The 2023 Tony Awards nominations were announced on Tuesday morning, with some musicals — Some Like It Hot, Shucked, the classic Sweeney Todd — getting nods, including in the acting categories. Plays like Between Riverside and Crazy and the Topdog/Underdog revival were honored.
Below is the complete list of who was nominated, with the winners announced Sunday, June 11 at the United Palace in the Washington Heights neighborhood of New York City. The host? That would be West Side Story star Ariana DeBose once again.
