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.

On the play side, the seventh Broadway production of Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman,” the long-awaited mounting of Jordan Harrison’s “Marjorie Prime” and Bess Wohl’s new drama “Liberation” should each pull at least five bids apiece, with “Giant,” “Oedipus” and “Proof” trailing close behind.
