Ali Louis Bourzgui Says That Seeing This Season’s Shows Makes His Nomination Mean Even More

When it comes to the 2025/26 Broadway season, first time Tony nominee and star of The Lost Boys Ali Louis Bourzgui might just be its ultimate fan.

“I saw every single play and musical that happened before I started rehearsals. There’s still a few that I haven’t been able to see since we got into tech, but I saw Titanique on Sunday,” he told BroadwayWorld. “I made the choice to just be the biggest fan and supporter of everyone else in this room and it just makes being here so much more fun because…  it makes the community aspect such a real thing. I’m part of this this amazing community of people!”
