Alicia Keys, “Stereophonic” and the late Stephen Sondheim are poised to win big at the 2024 Tony Awards, otherwise known as Broadway’s biggest night.
By all accounts, it’s been a robust ― some might say overstuffed ― season for live theater. But as the Tony Awards kicked off at New York’s Lincoln Center on Sunday, all eyes were on the smash revival of Sondheim’s “Merrily We Roll Along,” Keys’ acclaimed bio-musical “Hell’s Kitchen,” and David Adjmi’s “Stereophonic,” which broke records as Broadway’s most-nominated play in history, with 13 nods.
Check out the full list of nominees and winners below.
