Guide to Tony Award Nominations and Where to Find Tickets

As the Tony Awards approach, many people look to catch nominated shows and decide who to support. “The Lost Boys” and “Schmigadoon!” both have earned 12 nominations. “Ragtime,” a musical revival, follows with 11 nominations. “Death of a Salesman” leads the play category with nine nominations.

While some productions like “Bug,” “Liberation,” “Little Bear Ridge Road,” “Marjorie Prime,” “Oedipus,” “Punch,” and “Waiting for Godot” have closed, others are still available. It’s crucial to take in the shows before the Tony Awards on June 7 at Radio City Music Hall.

How to Buy Tickets

If you’re willing to pay full price, visit the production’s website. Buying in person at the theater box office avoids convenience fees. Trustworthy platforms like TodayTix, BroadwayBox, and TheaterMania can offer discounts. Be cautious of unverified vendors due to the risk of counterfeit tickets.

For those willing to improvise, every nominated production has lottery or rush tickets available at a reduced price. You might need to win the lottery or grab rush tickets quickly. The TKTS booths, both in Times Square and Lincoln Center, offer heavily discounted tickets for in-person purchases. Multiple shows have been available as part of recent offerings.
