2025 AWARDS SEASON

It's been over five decades since the first time that 2019 Tony nominee Fionnula Flanagan first graced a Broadway stage. The star of The Ferryman (nominated for nine Tony Awards) made her debut in 1968's Lovers. Now she's back on the stage eight times a week at the the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre, where she is giving the performance of a lifetime as Aunt Maggie Far Away.

Just last night, Broadway gathered to celebrate the Theatre World Awards at the Neil Simon Theatre (250 West 52nd Street), home of the sensational Broadway hit, The Cher Show.

The underworld is moving to 6th Avenue this Sunday, making Radio City Music Hall Patrick Page's domain. The star of Hadestown earned his first Tony nomination this year for his performance as the titular 'bad guy', though Page sees him as much more than that.

We won't let you down! The Tonys are Sunday night and you might be scrambling to find a way to watch the awards without having cable, but have no fear, BroadwayWorld has a list of all the ways to watch the awards. Find the right option for you before James Corden is sure to wow the viewers as host this Sunday.

Broadway's biggest night is just around the bend! Before we officially celebrate the Tony Awards, the nominees gathered last night to salute the 2019 Tony Honorees, which this year include: Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre: Rosemary Harris, Terrence McNally, Harold Wheeler; Special Tony Awards: Marin Mazzie, Sonny Tilders and Creature Technology Company, Jason Michael Webb; Regional Theatre Tony Award: TheatreWorks Silicon Valley Palo Alto, CA; Isabelle Stevenson Tony Award: Judith Light; Tony Honors for Excellence in the Theatre: Broadway Inspirational Voices - Michael McElroy, Peter Entin, FDNY Engine 54, Ladder 4, Battalion 9, Joseph Blakely Forbes.

He has already captivated Broadway audiences as Andrew Jackson and Patrick Bateman. This season, Benjamin Walker leaves his bloody onstage past behind him to tackle a classic Arthur Miller role. Walker has just earned a Tony nomination for the conflicted offspring of Annette Bening and Tracy Letts in All My Sons. 

Say Alex Brightman's name three times and he just might appear at Radio City Music Hall with a Tony Award in hand. The star of Beetlejuice just earned his second Tony nomination for his performance as the iconic title character and he isn't taking that honor lightly.

The 72nd Annual Tony Awards are this Sunday June 10th at 8/9c hosted by Josh Groban and Sara Bareilles. It's the biggest award show of the Broadway season and it closes out a long awards season for Broadway and Off-Broadway musicals and plays. We can't help but wonder what chances this year's Best Musical and Best Play nominees have of taking home the ultimate prize...

Broadway will gather today, June 3, to celebrate the Theatre World Awards at the Neil Simon Theatre (250 West 52nd Street), home of the sensational Broadway hit, The Cher Show.  

Oh, what a beautiful day June 9th will be for Broadway. Will everything be going Mary Testa and Daniel Fish's way? The duo represents two of eight Tony nominations that went to the much talked-about, reimagined version of the musical theatre classic, Oklahoma!

The number 13 might have an infamous reputation amongst the superstitious, but 2019 Tony nominee Beth Leavel is all about it this Tonys season. Not only has it been 13 years since since she earned her first Tony Award for her performance in The Drowsy Chaperone, but The Prom marks her 13th Broadway show. 

Think you know your Tony Awards facts? Most nominated shows? Most frequent hosts? It's time to test your knowledge with some trivia!

Robin de Jesus made his Broadway debut over a decade ago, when he starred in Lin-Manuel Miranda's first big musical, In the Heights. Since then he has earned three Tony nominations- one of which is for his incredible performance in last summer's The Boys in the Band. 

The legacy of David Ruffin lives on at the Imperial Theatre. That's because 2019 Tony nominee Ephraim Sykes has brought the legend back to life in Ain't Too Proud- the twelve-time Tony- nominated musical about the Temptations.

Dill Harris is a character that the world first got to know on the page, either in or outside of the classroom. This season, Broadway favorite Gideon Glick is bringing the boy to life onstage in the nine-time Tony-nominated adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird. 

The last time that Bertie Carvel tread the Broadway boards, it was as tyrannical headmistress Miss Trunchbull in the 2013 hit, Matilda. This season, he brings another of his critically-acclaimed West End roles to New York as media mogul Rupert Murdoch in Ink. Both roles earned the Brit Tony nominations, the latter for Best Performance from a Featured Actor in a Play.

Tootsie is bringing audiences to their feet every night at the Marquis Theatre, and its partly because of the extraordinary talents of its Tony-nominated stars. Santino Fontana, Lilli Cooper, Sarah Stiles and Andy Grotelueschen have all earned nods for their hysterical performances in the 11-time Tony-nominated hit. All four of them have been a part of the production since it opened in Chicago last year, and as they all attest, life is still far from boring at Tootsie.

The Theatre World Awards will celebrate the 2019 Theatre World Award Honorees, the 7th Annual John Willis Award for Lifetime Achievement in Theatre Honoree Nathan Lane, and the 11th Annual Dorothy Loudon Award Honoree Hampton Fluker at the landmark 75th Annual Theatre World Awards Ceremony on Monday, June 3, 2019 beginning at 7:00 p.m. at the Neil Simon Theatre (250 West 52nd Street), home of the sensational Broadway hit, The Cher Show.

Barry Glickman might be going to prom, but Brooks Ashmankas is going to the Tonys. On June 9th, the star of the seven-time Tony-nominated The Prom will take a seat at Radio City Music Hall as a nominee for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical. How did he get here?

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 2019 Tony nominations.
