Tony Awards Predictions: 10 Burning Questions, From Scott Rudin’s Return to Record-Breaking Noms for Laurie Metcalf, June Squibb and Danny Burstein

The 2026 Tony Awards nominations will be revealed on Tuesday, May 5, capping off one of the most competitive Broadway seasons in years and injecting a fresh round of drama into the cycle.

Lincoln Center Theatre’s revival of “Ragtime” will likely lead the nomination field, with the possibility of six performers getting nods, mirroring its season-leading eight Drama Desk bids. However, Michael Arden’s lavish staging of “The Lost Boys” could also get a lot of love from voters. And don’t forget “Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York),” “Cats: The Jellicle Ball,” “Schmigadoon!” and “Titanique,” which should all enjoy nominations in multiple categories.
