Nominees & Performers to Watch at This Year’s Ceremony

Get ready for the most dramatic day of the year … it’s almost time for the 2026 Tony Awards!!!

Sunday’s ceremony is going to be a star-studded event, full of A-list nominees and performers, like Queen Latifah, Daniel Radcliffe, Dylan Mulvaney and more. Plus, it’s hosted by Pink … so here’s hoping for a night of near-constant aerial gymnastics!

Whitney Leavitt, Julianne Hough, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells are among those set to perform … and big names like Nathan Lane, Laurie Metcalf and Rachel Dratch are up for awards.

These stars can do it all … sing, dance, and act — 8 times a week, mind you — and you can watch them all show off their chops this weekend when the Tony Awards come roaring into view.

There are also quite a few famous first-time nominees … including Rose Byrne, Luke Evans, Stephanie Hsu, Ana Gasteyer, Aya Cash, June Squibb, and Aubrey Plaza‘s baby daddy Christopher Abbott.

Not to mention, there are some up-and-coming first-time nominees who just might steal the show … like Hannah Cruz, Nichelle Lewis, and Nicholas Christopher.
