New musicals “The Lost Boys” and “Schmigadoon!” topped this year’s Tony Award nominations with 12 each, with a new production of “Ragtime” close behind with 11, as Broadway’s latest season drew notice for ambitious new work, high-profile revivals and packed houses.
Both new productions scored across major categories, including best musical, acting and design, signaling broad support from nominators, while “Ragtime” reaffirmed its enduring resonance with recognition for its sweeping score and a slate of standout performances.
The nominations, announced on Tuesday by actors Uzo Aduba and Darren Criss ahead of a June 7 awards night, offer a snapshot of a Broadway season defined by new musicals, bold revivals and a renewed sense of what it means to gather in a theater post-pandemic.
This season has also been marked by even more celebrities making their Broadway debuts, like Adrien Brody, Tessa Thompson and Patrick Ball, along with an uptick in celebrity producers including Kim Kardashian (“The Fear of 13”) and Barack Obama (“Proof”).
None of those shows or people were nominated, however.
