Leading the nominations for Broadway plays — which also faced stiff competition, with 21 eligible titles — were the Sadie Sink–starring John Proctor Is the Villain and The Hills of California, which each received seven nominations. The Good Night, and Good Luck adaptation received five noms, which included a lead acting nomination for George Clooney, while the original hit Mary Todd Lincoln parody Oh, Mary! also received five noms, including best lead acting performance for star Cole Escola, who also wrote it.

With her lead actress nod for the revival of Gypsy, Audra McDonald becomes the most-nominated performer in Tony Awards history with 11 nominations total. Succession star Sarah Snook, who is already halfway to an EGOT, got her first Tony nomination for her one-woman show, a modern retelling of Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray.
