Tony Awards 2024: Jeremy Strong, Rachel McAdams and Daniel Radcliffe among nominees

The 2024 Tony Awards nominations have been announced, with Daniel Radcliffe, Jeremy Strong and Rachel McAdams among the nominees.

On Tuesday (30 April), Tony winners Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Take Me Out) and Renée Elise Goldsberry (Hamilton) announced the list of nominations.

Hell’s Kitchen, a musical inspired by Alicia Keys’s childhood in New York City, and Stereophonic, a show about a rock band on the cusp of stardom starring The Wilds breakout Sarah Pidgeon, lead the nominations with 13 nods apiece.

Winners of the 77th Annual Tony Awards – which recognise excellence in live Broadway theatre – will be announced during a live ceremony hosted for the third time by stage veteran and Oscar-winner Ariana DeBose at Lincoln Center’s David H Koch Theatre on Sunday 16 June.
