Your next month has officially been mapped out, theatergoers.
The Tony Awards just announced their 2025 nominees — ahead of this year’s June 8 ceremony at Radio City Music Hall — and a whopping 28 productions received nods this year. Top players include musicals “Death Becomes Her,” “Maybe Happy Ending,” and “Buena Vista Social Club,” each of which received an impressive ten nominations.
Following in their stead are “Sunset Boulevard,” “Dead Outlaw,” “John Proctor Is The Villain” and the recently-closed “Hills of California.” All four shows nabbed seven noms.
A number of film and TV stars who made the jump to the stage this year were also showered with recognition. George Clooney (“Good Night, and Good Luck”), Sarah Snook (“The Picture of Dorian Gray”), Bob Odenkirk (“Glengarry Glen Ross”), Nicole Scherzinger (“Sunset Boulevard”), and Audra McDonald (“Gypsy,” making her the most nominated actress in Broadway history) earned nods for their work.
Notably, Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal’s respective turns as Othello and Iago in the hot ticket “Othello” failed to score with the American Theatre Wing. The upside to this? Prices may drop to see the notoriously expensive drama.
Back in March, the New York Post’s Broadway critic Johnny Oleksinski claimed that the people behind Denzel Washington’s Shakespearian period piece withdrew his invitation to review it after he wrote a column arguing that tickets for the show are too expensive — $921 for row M at the time.
Speaking of catching these shows live, after doing our homework, The New York Post found that 20 (!) of these 28 productions are still running in Midtown Manhattan.
In addition to the major players listed above, “Oh, Mary,” “Operation Mincemeat,” “Boop,” “Stranger Things: The First Shadow” and “Real Women Have Curves” can all be seen on a daily basis on the Great White Way.
Want to catch as many nominated shows as you can live before Tony Sunday?
