The nominations for the 2024 American Theatre Wing's Tony Awards were announced on Tuesday morning.
Two Broadway shows celebrating the origins of sonic creativity - the musical "Hell's Kitchen" fueled by Alicia Keys songs, and the play "Stereophonic" about a '70s rock band at the edge of stardom - each earned a leading 13 Tony Award nominations Tuesday, a list that also saw a record number of women nominated for best director.
"The Big Bang Theory" star Jim Parsons earned a supporting nod for "Mother Play," and Daniel Radcliffe on his fifth Broadway show, a revival of Stephen Sondheim's "Merrily We Roll Along," won his first nomination. Steve Carell in his Broadway debut in a poorly received revival of the classic play "Uncle Vanya" failed to secure a nod, but starry producers who earned Tony nods include Keys, Angelina Jolie and Hillary Rodham Clinton .
The nominations marked a smashing of the Tony record for most women named in a single season. The 2022 Tony Awards had held the record for most female directing nominees, with four total across the two races - musical and play. Only 10 women have gone on to win a directing crown. There were some firsts this season, including "Here Lies Love" with Broadway's first all-Filipino cast, which earned four nominations, including best original score for David Byrne and Fat Boy Slim. Seven openly autistic actors starred in "How to Dance in Ohio," a first for Broadway but which got no Tony love.
