The lush, very-downtown musical Hadestown topped the Tony Awards nominations list with 14, with the more traditional jukebox musical Ain’t Too Proud coming in at second with 12, a one-two punch as clear a sign as any that Tony voters are in a very expansive mood this year.

At #3, Tootsie has 11 nominations; The Ferryman 9 and Beetlejuice 8.

But the big surprise were the no-votes in the Best Play category for both To Kill A Mockingbird and Network, particularly for Aaron Sorkin’s gloriously reviewed and wildly popular adaptation of Harper Lee’s novel. That omission might be the single biggest Tony snub in years, if not decades.

If Glenda Jackson or Nathan Lane had been overlooked in any other year – as they were today, for King Lear and Gary: A Sequel To Titus Andronicus, respectively – they’d top the roster of Broadway’s buzz topics. But today the buzz was all about Mockingbird. Network‘s exclusion from the play category was easier to understand: star Bryan Cranston is the selling point, and the play deflates when he’s not on stage. The Mockingbird cast was well represented on today’s roster, justifiably so, but Sorkin’s fresh look at this classic material was so remarkably sweeping that its absence here just makes no sense. Anyway, for more on that subject, go here.

There were other surprises today: Be More Chill, Joe Iconis’ viral sensation, didn’t get the Tony appreciation that seemed pretty certain. Actors Will Roland and George Salazar, lead and featured respectively, were overlooked, a blow to a show that could have used the box office punch Tony exposure can provide.

With Be More Chill out of Best Musical contention, the category opened itself up to sentimental favorite and underdog The Prom, and the much-better-than-most-jukebox musical Ain’t Too Proud. Also in running: those former movies Tootsie and Beetlejuice, and the modernized myth Hadestown. Strong competition and a nice mix all the way around, from crowd pleasers to critical darlings.

The musical revival category is slimmer – much – with just two candidates that could, from the names alone, seem a real throwback: Kiss Me, Kate versus Oklahoma! The former is a solidly traditional take, certainly compared to the avant garde reimagining of the stunning Oklahoma! How that one shakes out could paint a very interesting portrait of today’s Tony voters.

Nothing in the nominations today was more fascinating than the Best Play category, though. To Kill A Mockingbird – or, more pointedly, playwright Aaron Sorkin – was such a shocking omission that this morning’s list-reading announcement almost seemed like a Moonlight-La La Land-scale flub. You can read more about that here, but for this post’s purposes let’s look at what the Sorkin snub means for the other nominees: The Ferryman was a shoo-in anyway (even if, apparently, there’s no such thing), as was, I think, What the Constitution Means to Me. Personally I’d have picked Mockingbird, easily, over Ink and Choir Boy, and the only good thing to come from the Sorkin snub is the real estate it left available for the fantastic, divisive Gary.

The nominations for the 2019 Tony Awards were announced live by Brandon Victor Dixon and Bebe Neuwirth at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center.

Broadway productions that opened during the 2018-2019 season on or before the April 25 cut-off date were eligible for this year’s honors in 26 competitive categories. Twenty-one plays and 13 musicals opened this season. Only two musical revivals were in contention.

The reveal was carried live via the Tony Awards’ Facebook page, and CBS This Morning will also covered portions of the announcement, as its network CBS and CBS All Access will broadcast the 73rd annual ceremony June 9 from Radio City Music Hall in New York, with James Corden hosting.
