The Tony Awards administration committee met on April 10 to confirm the eligibility status of eight Broadway productions that have opened during the 2024-2025 season. This was the third time this season that the committee met to decide eligibility for the 78th Annual Tony Awards. The first sets of rulings can be viewed here and here.
The productions discussed this time were “English,” “Redwood,” “Purpose,” “Buena Vista Social Club,” “Operation Mincemeat,” “Othello,” “The Picture of Dorian Gray” and “Glengarry Glen Ross.”
The committee made the following determinations on all requests eligible for consideration:
Jason Ardizzone-West (scenic design) and Hana S. Kim (video design) will be considered jointly eligible in the Best Scenic Design of a Musical category for their work on “Redwood.”
David Cumming will be considered eligible in the Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical category for his performance in “Operation Mincemeat.”
Natasha Hodgson will be considered eligible in the Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical category for her performance in “Operation Mincemeat.”
“The Picture of Dorian Gray” will be considered eligible in the Best Play category. Oscar Wilde and Kip Williams will be considered jointly eligible as co-authors.
Marg Horwell (scenic design) and David Bergman (video design) will be considered jointly eligible in the Best Scenic Design of a Play category for their work on “The Picture of Dorian Gray.”
Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk and Bill Burr will each be considered eligible in the Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Play category for their performances in “Glengarry Glen Ross.”
All other eligibility will be consistent with the opening-night credits, meaning if a performer appeared above the title on opening night, they will be considered eligible for lead acting categories, and if they appeared below the title on opening night, they will be considered eligible for featured acting categories.
The Tony Awards eligibility cut-off date for the 2024-2025 season is April 27, for all Broadway productions which meet all other eligibility requirements. Nominations for the 2025 Tony Awards will be announced on May 1.
As previously announced, the Tony Awards will return to Radio City Music Hall on June 8, airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. Tony winner Cynthia Erivo will host.
The Tony Awards are produced in collaboration with Tony Award Productions, a joint venture of the American Theatre Wing and the Broadway League, and White Cherry Entertainment.
