The Broadway Collection Receives 39 Tony Nominations!
After a year of fantastic performances, finally the nominees for the 68th annual Tony Awards have arrived!
The nominees for the Tony Awards are voted upon each year by an independent committee of 33 theatre professionals, chosen by the Tony Awards Administration Committee. Once the nominees are announced, they are voted upon by 860 members of the theatrical community, with the culminating announcement of the winners being several weeks later. This year, The Tony Awards will be broadcast live in New York City from Radio City Music Hall on CBS, on Sunday, June 8th, 8:00 – 11:00 p.m.
The awards will be broadcast nationwide, as well as in Japan, Korea, the Philippines, New Zealand, Australia, and the UK. With Hugh Jackman hosting, and 9 Broadway Collection shows in the running for a total of 39 Tonys it will be an exciting night for all!
