Tony Awards winners list for 2024: Live updates

The 2024 Tony Awards are underway as the best of Broadway is honored throughout Sunday night’s ceremony. 

“Hell’s Kitchen,” the jukebox musical featuring songs by and inspired by the life of Alicia Keys, and “Stereophonic,” a play that, while not a musical, does feature several original songs from Arcade Fire’s Will Butler, both earned the most nominations with 13 each. They are nominated for best musical and best play, respectively.

Several movie and TV stars are also nominated for Tony Awards for their performances this year, including Jessica Lange, Rachel McAdams, Sarah Paulson and Daniel Radcliffe, nominated for his role in the revival of Stephen Sondheim’s “Merrily We Roll Along.”

Ariana DeBose has returned to host the main program for the third year in a row. The ceremony is airing live on CBS and Paramount+, though several awards were given out before the TV broadcast began. The first awards of the night were streamed live on PlutoTV during “The Tony Awards: Act One,” hosted by Julianne Hough and Utkarsh Ambudkar.

As always, the night will also be filled with performances from nominated musicals and plays, including “Stereophonic,” “Hell’s Kitchen,” and “The Who’s Tommy,” a revival of the musical based on the classic 1969 rock album.
