Sarah Paulson and Wendell Pierce will announce this year's nominees for Broadway's top honors beginning at 8:30 AM ET.
It's all ties with this year's Tony Awards nominations, announced May 1 by Sarah Paulson and Wendell Pierce. Musicals Buena Vista Social Club, Death Becomes Her, and Maybe Happy Ending all tied to become the most nominated productions of the season, each including the much coveted Best Musical. (With a Special Tony Award being bestowed on Buena Vista Social Club's band, the musical is technically the most recognized in this nomination announcement.)
And even looking at plays (which have less opportunities for nominations), John Proctor is the Villain and The Hills of California tied to become the most nominated plays of the season, with seven each including Best Play. Musicals Dead Outlaw and Sunset Blvd. also earned seven nominations, the second-highest of this year's nods.
