The 2026 Tony Nominations

by · VULTURE

The 2026 Tony Award nominations are officially here, bringing the definitive answer to the best of Broadway. The 2025-2026 season was an odd one. Whereas the previous season had 14 brand new musicals debut on Broadway, and 14 new plays, this season featured just six new musicals and nine new plays. Meanwhile, there were five musical revivals and 10 play revivals, for a total of just 30 eligible works. That’s a significant decrease from last year’s total of 42, and the lowest total since Broadway first returned in 2022, after the COVID lockdown. 

Still, the stakes are as high as ever for the shows that are competing. The nominations will be revealed on May 5 at 8:30 a.m. by Tony winner Darren Criss (Maybe Happy Ending) and Tony nominee Uzo Aduba (Clyde’s). First, they will read half the categories live on CBS Mornings, then, at 9:00 a.m., they’ll read rest of the categories on the Tonys YouTube page. The actual ceremony, hosted by P!NK, will be on June 6.

Below, the find the full list of Tony nominations, which we’ll be updating live.
