Brian d'Arcy James, Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical, Days of Wine and Roses
"I’m elated, what an honor. Playing the role of Joe Clay has been the highlight of my career. I’m so grateful to Adam Guettel and Craig Lucas for their genius in creating this beautiful character. And to celebrate this recognition alongside my friend, the brilliant Kelli O'Hara makes it extra special."

Kelli O'Hara, Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical, Days of Wine and Roses
"I take nothing for granted. And I know that in this season, which is just so saturated—it's wonderful that so many things have opened, but the fact that my show also closed, I kind of opened myself up for the realities of the situation. You can never expect anything. So that's why the surprise is especially delicious. And the fact that both Brian [d'Arcy James] and I are nominated together is what really means the most to me in this particular adventure, because it's been nothing but a team effort."

Adam Guettel, Best Original Score, Days of Wine and Roses
“What an amazing season to be nominated, and to receive this honor with the mighty Brian [d'Arcy James] and the magnificent Kelli [O'Hara] is deeply moving.�

Orin Wolf, Producer, Best Musical, Illinoise
“I’m so happy for Justin, Jackie, Timo and the entire Illinoise family. We love whatÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ happening at the St. James and I hope this recognition continues to bring more people to the theatre.â€�

Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer, Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Musical, Monty Python's Spamalot
"It means everything to me. Doing Spamalot was really special on many levels. Probably the closest thing to showing what I do the best. I just want to say thank you to [director/choreographer] Josh Rhodes for allowing me to really do the kind of comedy that I want to do. And [producer] Jeffrey Finn for thinking of me for this. As we know, in this business, that's not always the case. And he gave me my first production contract job back, back, back in the day at the Kennedy Center. Here we are! So this is a full-circle moment. I also lost my mother. It'll be a year ago on May 9. So this entire year has been about her and just carrying on her legacy. This has come full circle for me. There is a picture of her next to the bed. As I watched the nominations, I know she's up there, so proud of me."

Jill Furman, Producer, Best Musical, Suffs
“We couldn’t be more thrilled for the entire team. To develop an original musical for the better part of a decade and see everyoneÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ passion, hard ÃÎÁµÖ±²¥, and commitment get recognized in this way is the icing on the cake. So honored to be a part of the Broadway community and this exciting Tony season.â€�

Rachel Sussman, Producer, Best Musical, Suffs
"I've been enamored with the suffrage movement since I was a kid and collaborating alongside so many brilliant women on Suffs has been my passion project for the past decade. To have our original show about intergenerational social change and voting rights recognized as a nominee for Best Musical, especially in this intense election year, feels like a dream come true. I feel so proud and humbled, and deeply deeply grateful. Spent the nominations hugging my brand-new wife and our pup!"

Shaina Taub, Best Book of a Musical and Best Original Score (Music and/or Lyrics) Written for the Theatre, Suffs
“Ah, oh my god! I haven't caught my breath. I was sitting on the couch watching the nominations live with my husband, Matt, and when they said our show, I knocked over my glass of water all over the couch and started crying. I grew up in Waitsfield, Vermont watching the Tonys every year with my mom, so this has been a childhood dream of mine. To be a part of the Broadway community and part of this phenomenal season with so many friends and collaborators just means the world to me. This show was a longtime labor of love and I'm so proud of our team and cast and everyone for ÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ing so hard for so many years to get here. Grateful beyond belief.â€�

Eden Espinosa, Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical, Lempicka
"It's an honor. I spent nine years of my life with [Lempicka]. The fact that we got to Broadway at all is is the win for me. And this on top of it is just, you know, icing on the cake. It's such an abundant season with beautiful pieces. To be representing our show in this way, alongside our set designers [Riccard Hernandez and Peter Nigrini], and then Amber Iman is a thrill."

Lamar Richardson, Producer, Best Revival of a Musical for Merrily We Roll Along and Best Revival of a Play for Appropriate
"Today's two nominations mean the absolute world to me as a Black multi-hyphenate artist in this industry. After a decade of ÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ing as an actor, to now also be a three-time Tony Award-nominated producer following my second Broadway season is surreal. As one of the youngest Black producers to accomplish this, my heart is bursting with gratitude. And I pray that I can be a visible representation of what disrupting a homogenous space looks like for those coming up after me. Huge congratulations to the entire companies of Merrily We Roll Along, Appropriate, and The Wiz!â€�

David Korins, Best Scenic Design of a Musical, Here Lies Love
"To have Here Lies Love be remembered—I'm getting emotional just talking to you. It felt so satisfying, because it was a show that we ÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ed on for over 12 years. We did five out-of-town production, getting it right on our way to Broadway. To have our ÃÎÁµÖ±²¥, which really tried to do something completely brand new, groundbreaking, and innovative, on Broadway—to get it recognized was just amazing. So much of our success often on Broadway is about commercial success. Here Lies Love was one of the biggest artistic successes that I've ever experienced. A lot of people are doing immersive or environmental design. But this is something that, for the first time ever, people were up and moving around during a show. And it just felt extraordinary, just to have that get recognized."

Leigh Silverman, Best Direction of a Musical, Suffs
“I was sitting at home and FaceTiming with my girlfriend, Cyd who is in the UK stage managing the ÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ End production of my show, Harry Clarke. And I made a little shrine of pictures of my mother, Janit, grandmother, Irene, and stepmother, Patty. Because Suffs is all about honoring the women who have come before and the women we lost too soon, like my mother. And I am wearing all the show swag I own, including a t-shirt Shaina [Taub] made me two years ago with a lyric from the show that has since been cut! I am so grateful and honored to be recognized amongst extraordinary colleagues in this season packed with excellent directors!â€�

Linda Cho, Best Costume Design of a Musical, The Great Gatsby
"I’m excited to be representing Gatsby at the Tonys! I love this change to celebrate all the fine ÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ and artistry of 2024!"

Kecia Lewis, Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical, Hell's Kitchen
"I am overjoyed to be nominated, which is to me an acknowledgment of my ÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ and the ÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ of ALL of the nominees. After 40 years of ÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ing in theatre, it feels GOOD!â€�

Natasha Katz, Best Lighting Design in a Musical, Hell's Kitchen
"Beautifully surreal to find out about two Tony nominations while boarding a plane! I’ll celebrate with some airplane food. I’m thrilled. More celebrations on landing! I’ll lift a glass to everyone!"

Kristoffer Diaz, Best Book of a Musical, Hell's Kitchen
"This team is the best team, and I could not be more thrilled to be nominated alongside so many of my dear, dear friends. It's gonna be one hell of a party at the Tonys."

Tom Kitt (Co-Orchestrator), Best Orchestrations, Hell's Kitchen
"It is a tremendous honor to be nominated in this great season, and I send heart-felt congratulations to all my fellow Tony nominees. I’m immensely grateful and proud to share this with Adam Blackstone, and itÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ been one of the greatest thrills of my life to collaborate with Alicia Keys on her incredible music. I also want to congratulate the entire brilliant company of HellÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ Kitchen whose artistry inspired my ÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ every step of the way."

Sky Lakota-Lynch, Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical, The Outsiders
"God bless The Outsiders! I am absolutely stunned. This season is proof that Broadway is back and the renaissance is here. Thank you to the Tonys for listening to our stories and seeing our hearts. All my love to the other shows and nominees.�

Danya Taymor, Best Direction of a Musical, The Outsiders
"To be recognized among this incredible group of artists is a gift and an incredible honor and beyond my wildest dreams. That so many of my fellow Outsiders collaborators have also been recognized for their ÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ across disciplines really affirms the power of deep collaboration. And thank you to Susie Hinton, who at 15 years old wrote the novel The Outsiders, an unflinching, raw, real portrait of what it actually feels like to be a teenager growing up in the great class divide chasm of America—it's a story for everyone that can help us all hold one another close through the hardest of times. It's an honor to be able to share this story with a new generation of theatregoers.â€�

Justin Levine, Best Book of Musical, Best Original Score, & Best Orchestrations, The Outsiders
“I’m truly speechless. This show has been such a huge part of my life for the past 8 years. I’ve made dear friends, found chosen family and I’m so excited we get to celebrate each other in this way. So proud and grateful for the whole Outsiders company and everyone on my teams who put their soul into this!�

Jonathan Clay, Best Original Score & Best Orchestrations, The Outsiders
“I am beyond words. To get to share in this moment with my best friend and songwriting partner from the age of 15 is something truly special. To say that we’re honored would be an understatement. I’m so incredibly proud of our team, and so thankful to everyone who believes in this musical. Stay Gold.�

Zach Chance, Best Original Score & Best Orchestrations, The Outsiders
“I'm currently overwhelmed, humbled, and honored. It's been an almost 9-year journey, and I couldn't be more proud of the entire Outsiders ³Ù±ð²¹³¾.â€�

Matt Hinkley, Best Orchestrations, The Outsiders
"My unofficial reaction is that I'm literally alone in my house just wandering around and yelling. My official reaction is that ÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ing with Justin, Jonathan [Clay] and Zach [Chance] these past nearly seven years has very honestly been one of the most wonderful and rewarding experiences of my life; with Danya [Taymor], Adam [Rapp], and the rest of the team, it's been done with such enjoyment, love, trust, and respect. The fact that it's translating to the wider world is simply beyond words."

Will Butler, Best Orchestrations, Stereophonic
"I feel great. What can I say? It's been a very lovely morning. I knew people liked it, and I hoped to get one. But I also recognize that there's a lot of great musicals. It's not a musical, but it's so lovely to have the ÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ recognized. I had no expectation. The orchestrations [nomination] is so moving also. To have Justin Craig's ÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ be recognized is really moving to me. It's lovely."

Timo Andres, Best Orchestrations, Illinoise
“ItÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ been an honor to ÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ on Illinoise and help Justin Peck and Jackie Sibblies Drury shepherd Sufjan Stevens' wonderful songs from album to stage. I am indebted to music director Nathan Koci, sound designer Garth MacAleavey, and the stellar Illinoise band, who make the score come alive in the most beautiful, heartfelt way night after night. This recognition is as much theirs as mine. I’m excited for audiences to hear them over the coming months.â€�

Justin Peck, Best Choreography, Illinoise
"This is a show that started as just a quiet whisper of an idea. It comes from almost nothing except for the album by Sufjan Stevens and a wild thought that we kind of ran with, and slowly built it into something. It just feels, like, so incredibly gratifying to be recognized in that way, and for our show, which isn't the most conventional, as far as musicals go. [To be] getting recognized by the theatre community means a lot to us."

Nikki M. James, Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Musical, Suffs
"I am completely overwhelmed and beyond proud of this show and of the ÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ that all the humans who have touched it have done to bring this story to life. Obviously I have to single out Shaina Taub—I cannot say enough things about how much I love and respect Shaina. And how grateful I am to her and Leigh [Silverman] for trusting me with Ida. Playing Ida B. Wells is a humbling experience and an honor. I also have to thank the incredible team of family and friends, my husband most of all, who have rallied around me and held me up while I juggled being a good mom to my daughter and being the artist I aspire to be."

Gayle Rankin, Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical, Cabaret
“I am so wildly proud to be nominated inside of RebeccaÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ incredible vision. ItÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ been the honor of my career, so far, to play Sally. I’m over the moon for the love and support The Broadway League and The American Theater Wing has shown our production and I can’t wait to get back on stage tonight.â€�

Eddie Redmayne, Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical, Cabaret
"This production of Cabaret has been the journey of a lifetime. It means a huge amount that the show has been recognized across so many aspects of the production, and personally, to be considered alongside the immense talent in this category is a wonder. Diving into the miraculous world of Kander, Ebb and Masteroff nightly is the stuff of dreams. To do it with the brilliant Rebecca Frecknall at the helm, alongside Gayle [Rankin], Ato [Blankson-Wood], Bebe [Neuwirth], Steven [Skybell], and our incandescent cast and formidable crew is beyond those wildest dreams. Thank you for embracing us and this production."

Shoshana Bean, Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Musical, Hell's Kitchen
"Thank you American Theatre Wing for this honor! I’m thrilled to be nominated alongside these talented women whom I love and admire. Most of all I am so proud of our entire Hell's Kitchen family and am endlessly grateful we get to tell this story together every night. Congratulations to everyone!"

Scott Brown & Anthony King, Best Revival of a Musical, Gutenberg! The Musical!

Michael Greif, Best Direction of a Musical, HellÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ Kitchen

I’ve been so inspired by the wonderful actors and collaborators I’ve ÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ed with on Days of Wine and Roses, The Notebook and HellÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ Kitchen and am happy to see so many of them recognized. I’m proud to be nominated alongside so many of my talented colleagues and to celebrate an art form I love so much.â€�

“I’m incredibly honoured and overwhelmed to be nominated for these Tony Awards. Cabaret is a rallying cry to artists in tough times and I am so privileged to have had this process standing side by side with this unparalleled creative team and company in 2024. My fiancé called me to tell me the news whilst I was ÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ing and now we are sitting in the sun.â€�

Jonathan Groff, Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical, Merrily We Roll Along
“I feel so lucky to be a part of this show and to be sharing this experience with every member of our incredible company. Maria [FriedmanÃÎÁµÖ±²¥] dream for this production was to showcase the brilliance of Merrily, and the acknowledgement of seven nominations this morning means so much to all of us.

For our show to be nominated alongside all these other shows, it's going to be a very excited day in the theatre today."

Amber Iman, Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Musical, Lempicka
"Pure screaming. I woke up this morning, and I was filled with a mix of ease and anxiety. There's a moment where you're like, 'Well, I can't do anything now. Either I'm on the list, or I'm not!' But you're still anxious in a way. And I think it was just, like, a huge sigh of relief. it's proof positive that when you just ÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ hard, keep your head down, mind your business, and drink your water, good things happen."

Camille A. Brown, Best Choreography, Hell's Kitchen
"I was on the Long Island Railroad going into the city. I got a phone call from my team, and everybody was so happy. I didn't watch. They let me know I had gotten nominated. I was so excited, and just emotional about it. And then I thought, 'OK, I need to get off the train. I need to get off and collect myself.' So I got off at a stop that I always pass, I never get off. I had to, you know, continue to receive calls. The excitement by everybody was so thrilling. I eventually found my way back to the city. Now I'm walking to rehearsal."

Rick Elice, Best Book of a Musical, Water for Elephants
"It's a great privilege to be able to ÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ in the theatre, especially, if you're me, because I haven't been doing this for a very long time. I'm an old guy, but as a writer, you know, I'm just about 20 years old. It's very exciting to me because the theatre is the great, grand passion of my life, certainly of my professional life. The award stuff is very, very nice. It's very jolly to be part of a group. It's nice to be able to go now and congratulate everybody."

Dorian Harewood, Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical, The Notebook
"My manager woke me up this morning to tell me I had been nominated! I wasn’t sure I heard her correctly and I could not be more honored. Coming back to Broadway after 40 some years to ÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ on such a beautiful show was a dream come true. The icing on the cake is being nominated with my onstage wife, Maryann Plunkett, and our book writer, Bekah Brunstetter. Thank you to Michael Greif and Schele Williams for taking me on this journey, Ingrid Michelson for the most beautiful score, and to my fellow Notebook cast, you've helped me fly!â€�

He's my brother. To share this with him means everything to me. From the bottom of my heart, there are not many shows like this. In my life and in my career, I don't take anything for granted. It means so much to me personally that the Tony committee saw what we are trying to do. They saw the ÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ we did with Illinoise. I wasn't sure, and you never know what people will think of the ÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ we do. But all you can do is focus on the ÃÎÁµÖ±²¥."

"ItÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ a great honor to be nominated for a Tony Award alongside my dear friend Tim Hatley!

And to be part of that legacy is a really big honor. Dan [Radcliffe], and John [Groff] and I were such a team. We share this show so much together, and with it with the rest of our company as well.

Riccardo Hernandez, Best Scenic Design of a Musical, Lempicka
"I was on a lunch break at Glyndebourne Opera in the UK where I am in technical rehearsals for the opera Carmen and sitting next to Diane Paulus, when my dear friend Neil Mazzella called me letting me know the news. It has been an amazing journey with Lempicka since its first production! I am so thankful to Rachel Chavkin and her daring vision! And to Matt Gould, Carson Kreitzer, and all the amazing collaborators in this production who have created an epically powerful musical. I am deeply grateful to Greg Nobile and Jenny Niederhoffer who always believed in my vision.

Sonia Friedman, Producer, Best Revival of a Musical, Merrily We Roll Along
"On behalf of myself and my partners David Babani, Patrick Catullo and Jeff Romley, we are overwhelmed with pride today and so grateful for Merrily to be recognized by the Tony Nominating Committee. Merrily has been on a long journey back to Broadway since its short-lived debut in 1981 and to finally see it be received with such heart and love is deeply moving for all. Stephen Sondheim and George Furth always believed Merrily was a great musical and we’ve collectively spent the last 12 years ÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ing to bring Merrily to its full greatness on Broadway. On a personal note, itÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ an unmatched honor to be nominated alongside my sister, Maria, and I am pinching myself as I say, ‘Tony nominee Maria Friedman.’ Our entire family is unbelievably proud of her, and I feel so lucky to stand by her side always, but especially during this immensely exciting time.

It took a village to build HellÃÎÁµÖ±²¥ Kitchen and I congratulate each and every member of our [Hell's Kitchen] community on these nominations. And the biggest thanks and congratulations of all go to our leader, the ever generous and still rising, Alicia Keys."
