In the top categories, The Lost Boys, Schmigadoon!, Titaníque, and Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) are nominated for Best Musical, reflecting a strong year for original productions.

The acting categories include a number of high-profile nominees. Daniel Radcliffe earned a nod for Every Brilliant Thing, while Nathan Lane and John Lithgow were recognized for their performances in Death of a Salesman and Giant, respectively. On the actress side, nominees include Rose Byrne for Fallen Angels, alongside Carrie Coon, Susannah Flood, and Lesley Manville.

Several milestones also emerged from this year’s nominations. Veteran actress June Squibb became the oldest acting nominee at age 96, while Danny Burstein set a record as the most-nominated male performer in Tony Awards history with his ninth nomination.

Despite the strong field, the nominations also came with notable snubs, including Lea Michele for Chess and Ayo Edebiri for Proof, both of whom had been widely predicted to earn recognition.
