The 2026 Tony Nominees React to Their Nominations

The big day is here! We have the list of 2026 Tony nominees, and we’re chatting with the members of the illustrious short list to hear their first reactions to the big news. See what they had to say.

Sara Chase, Best Actress in a Musical, Schmigadoon!
I’m in shock. I haven’t slept for like 18 hours ’cause I’ve been so on edge. I don’t think it’s sunk in yet. I’m so honored to be recognized, and the show. I think the show is great and other people agree. I’m celebrating by getting my roots done, and getting a massage, skipping my training session this morning, and doing a show!

Mark Strong, Best Actor in a Play, Oedipus
I’m blushing. It feels amazing. I’m in the car driving back to London to have a glass of champagne that my family put on ice for me. I’m trying to keep to the speed limit while being extremely excited. The older I’ve got, the more we look at our screens, the more AI seems to be invading our lives, the more important stage acting becomes. I can imagine everyone sat down and thought “Oedipus? What’s that going to be like?” But everybody was really moved by it and the tension in it was so intense that people were on the edge of their seat. That’s what theater needs to be. If you’re lucky enough to be in a production like that, you’re doing the best that theater can be.

Lesley Manville, Best Actress in a Play, Oedipus
It’s an indescribable feeling of love and warmth, and remembering the kernel of this whole thing, which was three of us and a wonderful company of actors in a rehearsal room in southeast London, just slowly getting to grips with this epic piece of drama, and loving it, and feeling that we could mine the depth of this very complex relationship and bring something rather wonderful to the stage. I feel very warm and full of love for all the people that we made this extraordinary production with and grateful we had the opportunity to bring it to Broadway. I’d never done Broadway before. It has a certain ring to it: “I’ve been on Broadway.” And now I’ve got a Tony nomination. It’s thrilling.

Nicholas Christopher, Best Actor in a Musical, Chess
I don’t have any words and I don’t even know if I have a voice anymore! We’ve been screaming all morning. I was on Facetime with my whole family, I had my daughter and wife sitting next to me, and we sat on the couch in hope, and they called my name first. I didn’t hear anything else after that. I think we’re gonna go out and have a picnic and be in the sunshine. We’ve had like three dance parties already!

Marla Mindelle, Best Actress in a Musical, Best Book of a Musical, Titaníque
I found out during the Today Show, and I acted like a zombie and I couldn’t cry cause I had to sing. It is so surreal. I haven’t even processed yet. I’m on the way home and I’m sure I’ll burst into tears at some point. I’m so relentlessly proud. This has been the most joyous experience of my life. To be receiving accolades for something that we worked so hard for is a literal dream come true.

David Lindsay-Abaire (Playwright), Best Play, The Balusters 
I’m beyond honored to have The Balusters included among this year’s Tony nominees—especially in a season with so many bold, beautiful new plays. The nomination is really a testament to the remarkable artists who brought the play to life—our astonishing director, Kenny Leon, our extraordinary ensemble of actors, our brilliant designers, and the tireless crew, along with everyone at MTC. I’m so grateful to get to make theater and be part of a community that continues to sustain and inspire me in so many ways.

Ali Louis Bourzgui, Best Featured Actor in a Musical, The Lost Boys
These sort of things are hard for me to process and it’s going to take me a bit to process the weight of what this is, but last night I was texting in this group chat of my theater friends from Pittsfield from the Berkshires who I grew up with, who all live in New York now, so I was rooting back to the history of these dreams. And also watching Shoshana get nominated and watching the whole design team and the creative team get nominated and I’ve seen a year plus of those people giving all of their time and effort to this project because everyone believed in it so much and everyone has also created such a genuinely loving, collaborative space around this piece. It’s a huge spectacle show and it’s maximalist and usually that means that a space is highly commercial, but Michael and the creative team set up a space of wanting to hear if we felt safe in everything we were doing. That just helps me feel even more proud that that kind of theater-making space can be celebrated in this way. We have a rehearsal for Good Morning America soon so I get to see all the people early in the day, so a lot of hugs and celebrations are in order.

Nichelle Lewis, Best Featured Actress in a Musical, Ragtime
It feels incredible! It’s the most amazing feeling ever. My managers came over and sat with me and we watched the whole entire live, and it felt like forever but it was so exciting and beautiful to watch all of my other cast mates and my team be recognized. I think I took a full lap in my living room which isn’t very big but I made it a big space in my head. I’m so excited!

Ellenore Scott, Best Choreography, Ragtime
I feel a little out of body. I am so proud of the work I did on this show, but I also know that choreography typically goes toward shows with lots of dancing, and I feel my choreography is more story-driven. I was unsure if nominators would recognize that style, so I feel blessed and honored that they saw that and wanted to celebrate me for it.

Cinco Paul, Best Book of a Musical & Best Original Score, Schmigadoon!
I’ve always felt that this is where Schmigadoon! really belonged and this kind of confirms it for me. When I initially had the idea 25 years ago, it was as a stage musical. So this is literally a dream come true. It’s my birthday today, so we’re going out to dinner and then we’re gonna see the show tonight and celebrate with the cast and crew. And I am so happy for [Sara Chase]. I love her so much. I don’t think anyone could do what she is doing in this show. So I’m just beyond words thrilled for her.

Michael Arden, Best Direction of a Musical and Best Lighting Design of a Musical, The Lost Boys
I am overwhelmed with gratitude for this honor. To be working in the theater, let alone on Broadway, has been my dream since I transformed my grandparents’ garage into a stage as a kid. More important than the personal honor is the deep sense of pride I have for my fellow collaborators who poured their souls into the monumental undertaking that is The Lost Boys. They are all my heroes and I am so grateful for the selflessness, rigor, and passion they brought to work every day. Congrats to all the nominees and all the countless artists and technicians who make every show possible and who continue to delight and inspire audiences eight times a week on Broadway.

Dane Laffrey, Best Scenic Design of a Musical, The Lost Boys
The Lost Boys was as much of a thrill ride to make as it is onstage. I am incredibly honored to be nominated amongst the best designers working on Broadway and as part of a creative team that was recognized across the board for this biggest of swings.

Richard Thomas, Best Featured Actor in a Play, The Balusters
What a wonderful morning! I love playing this part so much. It’s such a beautiful role. And what a wonderful group of fellow nominees. I am going to do the best thing I can to celebrate by going out and playing the role.

Bess Wohl (Playwright), Best Play, Liberation
We were actually all on a cast Liberation Zoom together at 7:30 this morning. We wanted to check in and just remind each other of our love for each other, remind each other of how we began this process, and how far we’ve come. And then as I tried to get my kids out the door for school, I watched the nominations come in. And of course I was completely thrilled. When you think about it, [the actors] were being asked to sign on for something that was unproven, untested, that had a 20-minute nude scene. It’s a big leap of faith that everyone in our company took. So to see that kind of a leap of faith rewarded, it’s that much more special. It’s been so meaningful to do a play about community, about activism, about the fundamental idea that all people deserve dignity and respect and that women’s rights matter. It feels like something that people want to hear and need to hear. So I feel so honored to get to be part of putting that out into the culture. I think some champagne will be in my future at some point. And then the whole cast is planning a celebration in the next few days, so we will all be getting together to enjoy this moment together.

Kelli O’Hara, Best Actress in a Play, Fallen Angels
I have to say I didn’t think it would happen this year. There are so many other great performances this year, so I prepared myself. Honestly, I burst into tears. I am going to go out and pass it forward by doing something like pay for someone’s coffee. It’s a karma thing. I was handed a gift today that was unexpected and I want to pass on that luck to someone else.

Danny Burstein, Best Featured Actor in a Play, Marjorie Prime
I thought they’d forget about us because we closed over two months ago. But I thought maybe they’d remember some of us and nominate the show, because I think the play is so beautiful. But I’m thrilled, especially for June Squibb who’s 96, and she was incredible in the show. And I so wish that Cynthia Nixon were also nominated because I think she gave a beautiful, beautiful performance. She’s one of those actors who makes other actors better. And I also wish they could’ve found some room for Chris Lowell who’s just really, really brilliant in his role as well. So it’s always this lovely bittersweet thing that happens. Kelli O’Hara and I were just texting—it’s both of our ninth nominations, so we’re both just over the moon and can’t believe our good fortune. It’s all I ever wanted when I was a kid. All I ever wanted was to have a normal life and to do good work and have the respect of my peers. And it’s happened. I have to start dreaming bigger because so many of my dreams have come true and I realize how lucky I am.

Whitney White, Best Direction of a Play, Liberation
We wanted to give each other love regardless of what happened, and so one of our cast members had the brilliant idea to get us all on Zoom. I got to speak with my mother and my husband first and it was so moving to share the news with them. I stand on the shoulders of so many Black artists that wanted to have this moment and never could have it. I’m the first Black woman to be nominated two times for Best Direction of a Play, and it feels surreal even saying that out loud. But I’m going to try and carry it with my head high and do all these people I love proud. Liberation is not just a play title for me. It is and was a way of life. I wanted to direct it because I was looking for more courage in my own life. Looking to find ways to be inspired, to show up for more, to ask for more of what I deserve. That’s what the process taught me, and I hope it’s gonna teach audiences that for a long time. I really think Bess Wohl wrote something that could change the world, and bringing that to life has been the honor of my career. Isn’t today one of those magical days where you’re so grateful you live in New York City? Honestly, I just want to go for a long walk. Here we are, talking about the Tony Awards, which is one of the most iconic things about New York City. I just want to go for as long a walk as my feet can handle and just take the city in today.

The Rescues, Best Original Score, The Lost Boys
For all of us, we were going through our lives in a very different way, and this was not exactly on the agenda, and so to be welcomed into a world that was not ours, feels a lot like our show, that we now belong in a different place with different people and it’s been a beautiful experience for us. It feels like we joined a really good baseball team and it’s so fun to play our position and we’re so proud of everyone on our team who plays their position.

Zhailon Levingston, Best Direction of a Musical, Cats: The Jellicle Ball
Oh my gosh, I was sitting on the couch with two of my best friends in the world and we just watched it like the little theater nerds we are. We screamed like crazy for every single one of our collaborators who were honored today. It just means that a decision I made as a 10-year-old to be a part of this world of artists and that everything I’ve gone through to attain that goal was worth it. Because I got to get here with my integrity intact. We live in really divisive times and things are scary out there and to be able to prove every single night that there’s another way we can be around difference is why I do the work that I do. I’m gonna be watching the show tonight and just thanking God that we created something that is a place to be for everyone: young, old, Black, white, gay, straight, trans, cis. But especially for that queer child in a county somewhere in this country that isn’t sure whether there’s a place for them to go. There is one.

David Rockwell, Best Scenic Design of a Play, Fallen Angels
What fantastic news to wake up to. I was working out, not watching it directly, but I got a text. I’m grateful to the American Theatre Wing and the Broadway League. Congrats to all of the other nominees, what a spectacular group. My deepest thanks Scott Ellis and everyone at Roundabout. Scott is the most amazing leader, and he created the opportunity to bring this Noël Coward world to stage. And congratulations to Kelli, Rose, and Jeff Mahshie and everyone else involved. This is a total total thrill.

Jen Schriever, Best Lighting Design of a Musical, The Lost Boys
I’m beyond excited to be nominated alongside the most daring collaborators. The Lost Boys took a big, fearless leap, and getting to take that jump with my collaborators is something that I will never forget. I am indebted to and so proud of the greatest lighting team on Broadway!

Bill Rauch, Best Director of a Musical, Cats: The Jellicle Ball
I’m over the Jellicle Moon for all of us today. The heart of this project is the ballroom community, and I’m so happy for our show to get all this recognition. It’s been such a collaborative project, so to have so many of my fellow artists nominated for this show. I am absolutely seeing the show tonight, because TDF is allowing over 1,000 high school seniors to see the show, so it is the perfect way to celebrate. We made this show for everyone, but young, queer people and their potential allies have always been the most important audience for us.

Christiani Pitts, Best Actress in a Musical, Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York)
I’m trying my hardest to stop the tears from flowing but every time I sit for just a second, I start crying. I feel very grateful. It’s so special, everyone’s worked so hard on it, for years before I got to be part of it. It’s beyond. I’m so emotional. I think I’m gonna go and lay on some grass and try to process.

André De Shields, Best Featured Actor in a Musical, Cats: The Jellicle Ball
I think it most appropriate to quote from the song, “My legs may be tottery. I must go slow, and be careful of Old Deuteronomy.”

Lear deBessonet, Best Director of a Musical, Ragtime
I’m in a very contemplative place of gratitude. Getting to work on Ragtime, this unbelievable musical that is not like any other thing, was such a deep honor itself. To be receiving these acknowledgments for the production is incredibly moving, especially in my first year at LCT. It could not be more meaningful. It fills me with joy.

Kevin Adams, Best Lighting Design of a Musical, Chess
It’s an absolute honor to be nominated with all the great theatre artists who designed Broadway plays and musicals this season.

Natasha Chivers, Best Lighting Design of a Play, Oedipus
I’m completely over the moon to be nominated for my work on Oedipus which was redesigned for New York after the initial London run. It was, and always is, a pleasure to be welcomed by the Broadway community.

Carrie Coon, Best Actress in a Play, Bug
I am grateful to be counted among such luminaries as my friend Kelli O’Hara, the truly gifted Rose Byrne, an astonishing Susannah Flood, and the legendary Leslie Manville. I’m also thrilled for my Bug design team, who made a difficult job look deceptively simple.

Brandon J. Dirden, Best Featured Actor in a Play, Waiting for Godot
I’m currently on New Jersey Transit to Penn Station to go observe a brain surgery to research a television show I’m filming, but I think they are going to have to put me on an operating table because I cannot comprehend this news. I first heard from my manager David Williams and then my phone just started blowing up. I’m just trying to take it all in.

Before David called, my phone sent me a notification about a memory from a year ago where my family was all gathered for my father’s funeral. And it’s so apropos because my dad has been with me this entire process and I just think about him and how supportive he was my entire life. And how I would have loved to have shared this with him in person. But I know I get to share it with him now and every day moving forward. Thank you, dad.

Thank you Crystal, my wife, and Chase my son. And all of the Waiting for Godot team, Alex, Keanu, Michael, Zayn, Eric, and Jamie Lloyd, our director, our stage management team, the designers, and especially the crew at the Hudson Theatre who made it a joy to come to work every day.

It’s really clarifying how many people it takes to arrive at a singular moment in your life, but it is just a really profound honor to represent everyone who worked so hard on the show and bringing it to the audiences.

Doug Schadt, Best Orchestrations, Cats: The Jellicle Ball
Hi everyone. This is Doug Schadt from Cats: The Jellicle Ball and I’m so excited to find out today that we were nominated in the Best Orchestrations category at the Tonys. This is my first Broadway production, and it’s been such a joy to experience the infectious joy and creativity around this production, and it’s such a joy to share this nomination with David Wilson and Trevor Holder, and of course Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Paul Tazewell, Best Costume Design of a Play, August Wilson’s Joe Turner’s Come and Gone
It is such a privilege to have the opportunity to be a part of bringing August Wilson’s characters to life. That privilege amplifies two-fold by having my work acknowledged with this year’s Tony Awards.

Steve Bargonetti, Best Original Score Written for the Theatre, August Wilson’s Joe Turner’s Come and Gone
It was an honor to be part of the Joe Turner’s Come and Gone masterpiece written by August Wilson, which cried out for BLUES GUITAR! I am honored by my Tony nomination for Best Original Score Written for the Theatre, directed by the genius of Debbie Allen. My intent was to enhance August’s words, all the talent on stage, and honor the history of Blues from the Delta to Pittsburgh.

Christopher Gattelli, Best Direction of a Musical & Best Choreography, Schmigadoon!
This whole show is a love letter to musical theater and I sincerely appreciate everyone’s response to it. It’s kind of taking a risk to take it back old school with just painted drops and the simplicity of how theater began. I can say this because [I directed] Death Becomes Her last year—you don’t need elevators and pyrotechnics. It’s good writing, a great score, an insane cast, and I just love that people are responding to it the way they are. I was sobbing [for Sara Chase’s nomination]. I’ve known Sara for seven years. I remember doing a workshop and when we decided it was coming to the stage, it was only her to me. Cinco [Paul] didn’t know her and the second she came in for one of our readings, he was like, “It can only ever be Sara.” So I am beyond over the moon for her. It’s the perfect role for her. Our company—it’s just a big family, so I can’t wait to see everyone.

Aya Cash, Best Featured Actress in a Play, Giant
I cannot fathom this. I just feel so grateful to be here. I think of the New York theater as my home, so to be acknowledged in my own community is a dream come true. I love this show, this cast, and this creative team. Plays are a team sport, and I get to play with the most incredible team every night. This is just the icing on the cake. But man, that icing is sweet.

Nicholas Hytner, Best Director of a Play, Giant
I’m honored to be nominated and delighted that the play and two remarkable actors have also been nominated.

Isabella Byrd, Best Lighting Design of a Play, Dog Day Afternoon
I’m so thrilled to be acknowledged amidst the seasons, remarkable talent. It’s an honor to bring light to complicated personal and political stories in these strange modern times. Thank you so much to my full Lighting team and the creative team and cast for inspiring and support supporting this work!

Samuel D. Hunter (Playwright), Best Play, Little Bear Ridge Road
I’m so honored that Little Bear Ridge Road is included among this year’s Best Play nominees. I’ve had over a dozen of my plays produced here in New York, intimate stories about quiet lives in Idaho that have miraculously found homes here, but this is my first time on Broadway, which makes this all the more meaningful. And writing a play specifically for Laurie Metcalf and Joe Mantello was one of the greatest gifts of my career so far.

Justin Ellington, Best Sound Design of a Play, August Wilson’s Joe Turner’s Come and Gone
I am incredibly grateful to be recognized for my work alongside these other remarkable nominees. It is always a pleasure to work on August Wilson plays, and it was all made even more special being part of this incredible company of actors, creatives, crew, producers, and managers. And let’s not forget our leader, Ms. Debbie Allen.

Kenny Leon, Best Direction of a Play, The Balusters
So humbled to receive this nomination in a field of so many excellent directors and storytellers. Our art is our weapon, and I am so proud to be afforded the opportunity to create on our stages. David Lindsay-Abaire and this excellent cast and creative team have allowed me to fall in love all over again with the mighty power of laughter, truth and theater.

Emilio Sosa, Best Costume Design of a Play, The Balusters
I’m humbled and honored to be recognized by my peers! Theater is a collaborative art form and even more so in the costume world. I am in great debt to my team of costumers and artists, who are the back bone to what we do!

Bryce Pinkham, Best Featured Actor in a Musical, Chess
Chess has found its way into my life in unexpected and meaningful ways, from nearly 40 years ago when my father-in-law was part of the original West End company to almost a decade ago when I first stepped into the role of The Arbiter. I’m deeply grateful to Danny Strong for his trust and for being such a generous collaborator. To Michael Mayer, Tom Hulce, and the incredible company who show up eight times a week with heart and precision, thank you for making this a journey of a lifetime. And of course nothing is made possible without my forever Queen, Scarlett Strallen. Thank you to the American Theatre Wing for this incredible honor.

Caroline Shaw, Best Original Score, Death of a Salesman
Being a part of this production of Death of a Salesman has been a dream, and I’m so honored to receive a Tony nomination for the score. I want to express my endless gratitude to Suzana Peric and Brian Cavanagh-Strong (and Joe Mantello and Mikaal Sulaiman) for shaping this score so beautifully!

Rachel Hauck, Best Scenic Design of a Musical, Cats: The Jellicle Ball
What! What! I’m so thrilled. We are so, so, so proud of the ball and for the entire show to be seen. I just can’t believe it. I’m so proud and so thrilled. It’s an impossible honor. I just can’t believe it. Congratulations to everybody. I’m just thrilled to be in this company. I can’t believe it. Come on. Come one. Come all. Come to the ball.

Joshua Henry, Best Performance by an Actor in a Musical, Ragtime
Waking up to getting my fourth Tony Awards nomination for Ragtime on Broadway after my opening performance at the Met Gala last night… bro, what is happening?! My heart is bursting with gratitude. I feel grounded in God, my supportive family, and my creative community in a fiery way.

Brandon Uranowitz, Best Performance by an Actor in a Musical, Ragtime
Anyone who knows me knows I’ve had a long, complicated history with Ragtime. Coming back to the show 30 years later as Tateh has been one of the most healing and rewarding experiences of my life. This recognition is beyond my 11-year-old self’s wildest dreams. If there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s this: the things that are meant for you won’t pass you by. Just keep going. Thank you to the League, the Wing, and everyone who’s supported me along the way.”

Caissie Levy, Best Performance by an Actress in a Musical, Ragtime
The Tony Awards are such a celebration of the theater, and it feels absolutely incredible to be recognized in this way by the community I’ve loved and worked in for the last 20 years. I’m overjoyed to share this moment with our stellar company—our cast, our creative team, our crew, and our orchestra. To be nominated for the first time means so much to me. I’m truly overwhelmed and can’t stop smiling. And now, I’m going to drop my kids off at school! Balance.

Ben Levi Ross, Best Featured Actor in a Musical, Ragtime
This is truly the honor of my life. To be a part of this show, at this time, with this cast. I’m simply overwhelmed with love and gratitude. Ragtime is an example of this art form at its highest caliber thanks to the brilliant score by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty and the genius of Terrence McNally. To have my first Tony nomination be with this production feels aligned and deeply meaningful.

Linda Cho, Best Costume Design of a Musical, Ragtime and Schmigadoon!
What a morning. I’m beyond delighted that Ragtime has received so much recognition this season. I believe we honored this magnificent piece of the American Musical Theater canon. My heart is bursting with joy for all my collaborators and I am fiercely proud we get to share this moving cautionary tale with New York audiences. If ever there was a labor of joy, Schmigadoon! would be it. Every name you see listed in the program was a true delight to work and play with. I’m so thrilled our joy-bomb is getting all the love it deserves! Go team Schmigadoon!

59 Studio, Best Lighting Design of a Musical, Ragtime
We are delighted to be nominated alongside Don Holder and Adam Honoré for the Lighting Design of Ragtime. Working on Ragtime was a dream, and it is thrilling to be part of bringing these important stories back to the stage, now more than ever. We feel honored to be nominated among so many talented friends and colleagues.

David Hornsby and Chris Hoch, Best Book of a Musical, The Lost Boys
When we met in high school so many years ago, the last thing the two of us ever imagined is that we’d be lucky enough to be Tony-nominated writers of a Broadway vampire musical. We are so honored and grateful—especially to the cast and crew at the Palace who are making us look good eight times a week.

Jack Knowles, Best Lighting Design of a Play, Death of a Salesman
I’m riding on a high to be nominated for Death of a Salesman. I am so grateful to work with such wonderful artists and collaborators on the show, creating a piece where every element is so intricately involved in the storytelling, of which I’m beyond proud. I’m thrilled to see all the appreciation for the show. A million thanks to my incredible team and all involved in the show as well as the whole Broadway community, Tony Nominating Committee, the League and the Wing.

Mikaal Sulaiman, Best Sound Design of a Play, Death of a Salesman
I’m beyond grateful for this nomination. Being part of this inventive production was already a privilege, but to receive this honor on top of that reminds me how lucky I am to do this work alongside artists I deeply admire. Many thanks to Joe Mantello, my fellow designers, and my incredible sound team.

David Korins, Best Scenic Design of a Play, Dog Day Afternoon
I started talking to Mark Kaufman, the producer of our play well over a decade ago. Being a part of this extraordinarily loving and creative community never gets old. Every day is a pinch me moment, this morning, and this news is a double pinch me moment. I have nothing to say, except that being part of this theatrical community was something I always wanted to be part of And cherish with all of my heart. My attitude is pure gratitude.

Brian Usifer, Best Orchestrations, Chess
I am so thrilled and honored to be nominated for this incredible show and stunning production. Working on this score has been the most rewarding and challenging experience, and my biggest priority has always been to honor the sound that Benny, Bjorn, Tim and Anders created more than 40 years ago. I need to give thanks to Ian Weinberger and the Chess orchestra as well as John Shivers and Brian Rau.

Walter Trarbach, Best Sound Design of a Musical, Schmigadoon!
I’m delighted and honored to represent Schmigadoon! with this nomination. It is a true pleasure to work on a musical which brings so much laughter and joy into the world, and I’m proud to play a small part in sharing that joy with audiences eight times a week.

Marylouise Burke, Best Featured Actress in a Play, The Balusters
My “wake-up” call this morning was phone calls and messages from friends and colleagues! So, I’m feeling like the Most Lucky Sleepyhead in show business!

Jeff Mahshie, Best Costume Design of a Play, Fallen Angels
Waking up to see Kelli O’Hara and Rose Byrne both being nominated … I knew it was going to be a great day, and it only got better!

Brenda Abbandandolo, Best Costume Design of a Play, Dog Day Afternoon
I’m so surprised and honored to be in this group again! It’s always a thrill to be recognized and it’s always a group effort; so I just want to thank the amazing company, the costume and wardrobe team and Leah Loukas and Katie Gell for collectively getting it there.

Chloe Lamford, Best Scenic Design of a Play, Death of a Salesman
I’m thrilled to be nominated for Salesman—I loved making this show so much. It’s a real honour to be nominated alongside such brilliant artists—I feel very grateful, and particularly to everyone who worked so hard on this production.
