About the 2023 Tony Award Nominations
During the 2022-23 Broadway season, 40 productions opened employing hundreds of performers, creators, and artisans, and on Tuesday, the best of the best will be celebrated as the 76th Annual Tony Award nominations will finally be announced. While still not a completely normal season, Broadway was far closer to its pre-pandemic state this season than it had been in 2021 and 2022.
With that, dozens of stars came to the Main Stem to share their talents, including Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Annaleigh Ashford, Sara Bareilles, Paul Bettany, Mike Birbiglia, Rachel Brosnahan, Gabriel Byrne, Jessica Chastain, Jodie Comer, Josh Groban, Corey Hawkins, Sean Hayes, Laura Linney, Audra McDonald, Wendell Pierce, Ben Platt, and John David Washington; and that is just in the leading performance categories.
The 2023 Tony Awards will be broadcast on CBS on Sunday, June 11 at 8 p.m. ET and Tony nominee and Oscar-winner Ariana DeBose will serve as host for the second year in a row. Last week, it was also announced that Pluto TV will host “The Tony Awards: Act One” beginning at 6:30 p.m. ET. The preshow will include performances and award presentations for a handful of the evening’s creative awards.
