Jane Krakowski and Hamilton’s Chris Jackson announced the nominations for the 71st annual Tony Awards on Tuesday, with Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812 leading the pack at 12 nominations. The Tolstoy-inspired show will go up against Come From Away, Dear Evan Hansen, and Groundhog Day in the Best Musical category.
The revival of Hello, Dolly! came closest to matching Great Comet with 10 nominations of its own, including one for Bette Midler as lead actress, while A Doll’s House, Part 2 led the plays with eight. Other Best Play nominees include Indecent, Oslo, and Sweat, the Lynn Nottage–penned drama that won a Pulitzer earlier this year.
You can find the full list of nominees below. The Tony Awards will take place June 11, with Kevin Spacey hosting.
