Broadway’s best stepped out for the 2024 Tony Awards on Sunday, June 16.
Nominations were announced in April with Hell’s Kitchen coming out on top with the most nods. The musical, featuring music and lyrics by Alicia Keys, was recognized across 13 categories, including Best Musical, Best Direction of a Musical and Best Choreography. Cast members, like Maleah Joi Moon in the Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical category, received nods in various categories, celebrating their respective performances.
Stereophonic also received 13 Tony nominations this year, including Best Play, Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Play (for three stars, Will Brill, Eli Gelb and Tom Pecinka) and Best Direction of a Play.
The Outsiders came in behind them with 12 nods. The Angelina Jolie-produced musical stars newcomer Brody Grant as Ponyboy Curtis, who was nominated in the Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical category.
“Now that all the dust is settled, I wanna say that it really really is an honor for THE OUTSIDERS to be included in this year’s nominations,” Grant wrote on Instagram. “I’m proud to have been apart of THE OUTSIDERS company for a couple years now. It really has been a journey!”
Of course, the star-studded Merrily We Roll Along musical was recognized as well with seven nominations. Jonathan Groff is up for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical for his role as Franklin Shephard, Daniel Radcliffe was nominated for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical for playing Charley Kringas and Lindsay Mendez, who played Mary Flynn, is up for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical.
The ceremony was hosted at Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater on Sunday. American Express and Skylar Astin also hosted the “Broadway Fanfare” simulcast event in Damrosch Park at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. Anyone in New York City could attend the celebration that started at 6:30 p.m. ET, with the preshow beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET and simulcast starting at 8 p.m.
