In the past few weeks, we've watched the nominations roll in. Today the final crop of nominees have been revealed, all leading to next week's ultimate announcement- the 2018 Tony nominations.

Nominations for the 63rd Annual Drama Desk Awards were announced this morning at Feinstein's/54 Below by Jane Krakowski (She Loves Me, Nine, "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt") and Tituss Burgess (The Little Mermaid, Guys and Dolls, "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt").

In keeping with the Drama Desk's mission, nominators considered shows that opened on Broadway, Off Broadway and Off Off Broadway during the 2017-2018 New York Theater season. Eligibility and award category designations for the productions under consideration this season were determined by the Drama Desk Board of Directors with recommendations from the Nominating Committee.

In determining eligibility of The Band's Visit, which ran Off Broadway last season, the nominating committee considered only those elements that constituted new work. For all other eligible productions, nominations are consistent with opening night credits.
