After Hamilton dominated both the Tony nominations and winners last year, this year’s race doesn’t have a clear favorite. Natasha, Pierre, & The Great Comet of 1812, a musical riff on a section of War & Peace, garnered 12 nominations, the most of any show, while the Bette Midler-led Hello, Dolly! took in 10 and Dear Evan Hansen came in close behind with 9 nominations. Meanwhile, a few splashy names are out of contention this year: The Jake Gyllenhaal-led Sunday in the Park With George is sitting out the competition, while Glenn Close’s performance in Sunset Boulevard isn’t eligible (she already won a Tony playing Norma Desmond in 1995). The Tonys ceremony will air on June 11 this year, with Frank Underwood himself, a.k.a. Kevin Spacey, hosting the event.
