The 2022 Tony Awards will air live coast-to-coast from the legendary Radio City Music Hall in New York City on June 12.

A Strange Loop goes into the evening already a winner. Best performance by a leading actress in a musical "I'm excited to see you all on June 12. The London-imported energetic show was set to open on March 12, 2020, an hour before all Broadway theaters were closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The nomination is also notable for Lucy Moss and Toby Marlow's SIX, which flips history on its head by taking the six wives of Henry VIII and reimagining them as pop singers. "I'm coming home!"

The Tony Awards are back! This year's ceremony honoring the best in musical theater will commence on June 12 in Broadway's hometown — New York City.

“The Prom” star is no stranger to the stage or a theater marquee. Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical The Tonys are on deck to air live coast-to-coast for the first time ever. “A Strange Loop” led the pack with 11 nominations and both the Michael Jackson musical “MJ” and the play “Paradise Square” both came in with 10 award nods each. “West Side Story” breakout star Ariana DeBose will be hosting the evening’s festivities, celebrating the show’s 75th year. “Company” and “The Lehman Trilogy” weren’t far behind with nine and eight nods, respectively, while “for colored girls who have considered suicide when the rainbow is enuf” came in with five nominations.

A man had his photo I.D. out and in his hand as walked up to the Gerald Schoenfeld Theater on Broadway to see “Come From Away,” but no one checked it. I don’t think capital punishment is the way to go in any state, in any town, in any country in the world. Whenever somebody says, “Do you want to do this?” or “Come and audition for this,” you go and do it if you think it’s a good idea. I hope people take away that there is joy, to choose joy, to choose abandon, to go for the ride. At the beginning, the eyes I see over the masks are people who really want to connect and really want to be together to experience something. Speaking from her home in Wellfleet, Mass., Vogel said she planned to spend the day “doing all of my chores, so I can get on a train and come down to New York tomorrow, which will be exciting.” Here are edited excerpts from the conversation. When that’s the case, it can seem perverse to single out just one performer from a carefully balanced company, though the nominators did just that with their nods to Kenita R. Miller in “For Colored Girls,” Rachel Dratch and Julie White in “POTUS,” and John-Andrew Morrison and L Morgan Lee in “A Strange Loop.” The contest for best performance by a leading actor in a musical is likely to pit Broadway newbies Myles Frost (the star of “MJ”) against Jaquel Spivey (the star of “A Strange Loop”) — never mind Jackman or Billy Crystal in the same category. The first-time nominees Sharon D Clarke ( “Caroline, or Change”) and Joaquina Kalukango ( “Paradise Square”) are likewise the pair to beat for best performance by a leading actress in a musical — never mind Foster. No musical, not even the dreadful “Diana, the Musical” was skunked, even if some awfully good plays, including “Pass Over” and “Is This a Room,” found themselves forgotten. Of the 34 productions the 29 nominators were allowed to consider, 15 opened in April — six in the last week of that month alone. In the case of “The Lehman Trilogy,” they bestowed riches on everyone, nominating all three lead actors — Simon Russell Beale, Adam Godley and Adrian Lester — and expanding the category to make room for them all.

"A Strange Loop," Hugh Jackman, "MJ," "Paradise Square": Here are the biggest takeaways from the nominations for the 2022 Tony Awards.

In addition to the disruptions of COVID, the show lost its lead producer when the Scott Rudin allegations led the mega-producer to step away from all of his work in the industry, including from “The Music Man.” Once the production finally did open, critical reaction was decidedly mixed. Three of the contenders for lead actress in a play (Gabby Beans, LaChanze, Ruth Negga) are Black, and so are half of the actors (Chuck Cooper, Ron Cephas Jones, Jesse Williams) in the six-person category for featured actor in a play. A six-name category happens fairly regularly, but this year’s category for leading actor in a play ballooned to seven, which means there were not one but two additional contenders with enough support among nominators to muscle in. Two of the five contenders for new play (“Clyde’s,” “Skeleton Crew”) were written by Black women. If any other show looks likely to benefit from the nominations buzz, it’s “Paradise Square.” That one got little critical love and has notably struggled at the box office, but it managed to surprise with 10 nominations including one for best musical. Now that the show is the most-nominated of the season — and the frontrunner for the award — that much-needed momentum will continue to build.
