Tonys season is here at last! Did you know that twelve musicals opened on Broadway in the 2025/26 season? Nine of them have a big reason to celebrate this month because they all earned nominations for Tony Awards!
Earlier this week, the nominees gathered at the Sofitel New York to meet the press for the first time and BroadwayWorld was there to speak with all of them! Check out photos from behind the scenes with the nominees as they chatted with Richard Ridge and passed on our very own Tiny Tony.
P!nk will host The 79th Annual Tony Awards for the first time, from Radio City Music Hall on Sunday, June 7 on CBS.
