Tony Award nominees aren't just artists. They're also theatre fans. And for many, if they're not in a show, they're going to see someone else's show. Which is why many had a fast answer when °ëµºÌåÓý asked, "What Broadway role would you swap into for a night?" See Jeremy Jordan, Sadie Sink, Danny Burstein, and many others nerd out over their faves in the video above. And watch to the end to see how many people want to play Madame Rose in Gypsy.
Nominations for the Tonys' competitive categories were revealed May 1, with Buena Vista Social Club, Death Becomes Her, and Maybe Happy Ending sharing the distinction of being the most nominated shows of the season, each earning 10 nods. See the full list of nominees here.
Winners will be named at The 78th Annual Tony Awards, set to broadcast live from Radio City Music Hall June 8, beginning at 8 PM ET on CBS and streaming on Paramount+ in the U.S. Wicked film star and Tony winner Cynthia Erivo will host the evening.
Darren Criss, a 2025 Tony nominee for his performance in Maybe Happy Ending, and Hamilton Tony winner Renée Elise Goldsberry will host The Tony Awards: Act One, the live pre-show preceding the 78th Annual Tony Awards. The Tony Awards: Act One will be available to viewers for free on Pluto TV beginning June 8 at 6:40 PM and continuing until 8 PM.
