The Tony Awards Administration Committee has put a bow on its final eligibility deliberations for the 2025-2026 Broadway season.

In its fourth and final meeting before nominations are announced on May 5, the committee ruled on 13 productions, locking in category placements for a marquee slate of performers in some of the most watched races.

Among the headline determinations: “Becky Shaw,” Gina Gionfriddo’s dark comedy starring Patrick Ball and Madeline Brewer, making its Broadway debut, will compete for best revival of a play, with Gionfriddo eligible as author. It places the production alongside other “new-to-Broadway” titles being classified as classics this season including “Oedipus” and “Proof.”
