The champagne is chilled and the ballots are ready. The nominees for the 2022 Tony Awards are being announced May 9 at 9 AM, and Theatrely is ready to bring you the latest as it rolls in.

Eligible for the 2021-2022 season are 34 productions, with nine musicals, 12 plays, four musical revivals, and nine play revivals, all hoping to hear their name called this morning. The nominations are being revealed by Tony winner Adrienne Warren and Tony nominee Joshua Henry. Leading the way is Michael R. Jackson's A Strange Loop, with 11 nominations, including Best Musical. MJ and Paradise Square followed closely behind with 10 apiece as well, both also nominated for Best Musical. The most Tony-nominated play this year is Stefano Massini and Ben Power's The Lehman Trilogy, with eight nods, including Best Play and all three leading actors scoring a nomination for their performance.

The winners of the 75th annual Tony Awards will be revealed June 12 at Radio City Music Hall. Oscar winner Ariana DeBose will host the main event, beginning at 8 PM ET on CBS and Paramount+. A pre-ceremony, usually announcing the winners of several creative and design categories, will stream exclusively at 7 PM on Paramount+.

Last week, it was announced that the recipients of the 2022 Tony Honors for Excellence in the Theatre will be: the Asian American Performers Action Coalition; Broadway For All; music copyist Emily Grishman; Feinstein’s/54 Below; and United Scenic Artists, Local USA 829, IATSE.
