Rachel McAdams, Daniel Radcliffe, Eddie Redmayne and Sarah Paulson were among the nominees for the 77th annual Tony Awards, which Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Renée Elise Goldsberry announced on Tuesday morning from the Sofitel New York hotel.
The critical darling “Stereophonic” tied with “Hell’s Kitchen” for the most nominations, with 13 each. Leslie Odom Jr., already an owner of a Tony Award, earned a Best Leading Actor in a Play nomination for “Purlie Victorious,” while Paulson was nominated for Best Leading Actress in a Play for “Appropriate.”
Jonathan Groff earned a Best Lead Actor in a Musical for “Merrily We Roll Along,” which also got costar Daniel Radcliffe his first Tony nomination, for Best Featured Actor in a Musical. Oscar-winner Eddie Redmayne was also nominated in the lead actor in a musical category for his turn as the Emcee in “Cabaret”—a performance that already won him an Olivier Award for the show’s London run.
Oscar winner Ariana DeBose will host the 77th annual Tony Awards, which will air live from Lincoln Center in New York City on Sunday, June 16 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS. It will also stream on Paramount+ in the U.S. DeBose also hosted the 75th and 76th Tony Awards.
