The nominations for the 2024 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album are out!

Kimberly Akimbo, Parade, Shucked, Some Like It Hot, and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street have been nominated for Best Musical Theatre Album at the 66th Annual GRAMMY Awards.

This marks the second consecutive year that only Broadway cast recordings have been nominated in the category, shutting out West End and Off-Broadway recordings.

The 2024 GRAMMYs will air on CBS on Sunday, February 4, broadcast live from Los Angeles.

The award will go to the principal vocalists and the album producers of 50% or more of the playing time of the album. The lyricists and composers of 50% or more of a score of a new recording are eligible, as long as their work has not been nominated in this category before.

Taylor Swift, Brandy Clark, and more were also nominated for GRAMMYS. Check back later for a full list of nominations! Check out the full list of GRAMMY nominations here.
