NEW YORK, NEW YORK – JUNE 08: Cynthia Erivo hosts The 78th Annual Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall on June 8, 2025, in New York City.

Two musicals, The Lost Boys: A New Musical and Schmigadoon!, led the 2026 Tony nominations, it was announced on Tuesday (May 5). The Lost Boys: A New Musical is a musical adaptation of the 1987 comedy horror cult classic film The Lost Boys. Schmigadoon! is an adaptation of the first season of the 2021 musical TV series of the same name.
Both shows are nominated for best musical, for which they will compete against Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York), which received 11 overall nods, and Titaníque, which received four overall odds.
The nominees for best revival of a musical are Cats: The Jellicle Ball, Ragtime and The Rocky Horror Show. The original production of Cats won seven Tonys, including best musical, in 1983. The original production of Ragtime received 13 Tony nominations, including best musical, in 1998. A 2010 revival received six nods, including best revival of a musical. The original production of The Rocky Horror Show received one nod in 1975. A 2001 revival received four nods, including best revival of a musical.
Indie pop/rock band The Beaches is nominated for best original score for The Lost Boys: A New Musical. It’s unusual for a group or duo to be nominated in this category, but it happens occasionally. Two years ago, the folk duo The Jamestown Revival was nominated for cowriting the score to The Outsiders.
Rose Byrne, who was nominated for an Oscar for best actress this year for If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, received a Tony nod for best actress in a play for Fallen Angels. Lea Michele was passed over for what would have been her first Tony nomination for her lead role in Chess. Michele received Primetime Emmy and Grammy nods for her breakout role in Glee.
As previously announced, André Bishop, who served as the artistic director of Lincoln Center Theater from 1992 to 2025; lighting designer Jules Fisher; and playwright and director James Lapine will each receive the 2026 Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre.
In addition to his work in the theater, Fisher created lighting designs for such music stars as David Bowie, Kiss, Parliament-Funkadelic, Whitney Houston, The Rolling Stones, Neil Young and Simon and Garfunkel.
This year’s Tony Awards will return to Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Sunday, June 7. Hosted by P!nk, the biggest pop star to ever host the show, the Tony Awards will broadcast live coast-to-coast on CBS and stream on Paramount+ (8-11 p.m. ET/5-8 p.m. PT).
The Tony Awards are produced in collaboration with Tony Award Productions, a joint venture of the American Theatre Wing and The Broadway League.Raj Kapoor, Sarah Levine Hall and Jack Sussman are executive producers of this year’s show. Kapoor and Levine Hall will also serve as co-showrunners. Patrick Menton and Rob Paine will co-executive produce, with Menton also serving as head of talent.
