Among the front runners for this year's awards are the Alicia Keys jukebox musical "Hell's Kitchen" (13 nominations), drama "Stereophonic" (13) that tells the story of a fictional rock band and features music from Arcade Fire's Will Butler, a musical adaptation of "The Outsiders" (12), and "Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club" (9), which revives the classic 1960s musical and stars Eddie Redmayne in the iconic role of the Emcee.
The Tony Awards ceremony itself will host musical performances, and there's some serious star power on the confirmed list of awards presenters, including Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Hudson, Nick Jonas and Pete Townshend to name but a few.
Ariana DeBose is back on hosting duties for a third successive ceremony, "I couldn’t pass up the chance to host the Tonys one more time at Lincoln Center," she said. "I’m excited to collaborate with the team to create an incredible celebration of this season’s achievements on Broadway for our community and for everyone at home."
