[title][Note, May 2: The following are Time Out New York's choices for the 2023 Tony Awards. The actual 2023 Tony nominations can now be found here.]
Today we are proud to present the annual TONY* nominations, which recognize the best Broadway achievements of the 2022–23 season. To be as clear as we possibly can: TONY is an acronym for Time Out New York, and the list below represents the Broadway shows and artists that we at TONY (Time Out New York) would nominate for the actual Tony Awards (a.k.a. the Antoinette Perry Awards) if we were the nominators for the Tony Awards. Which we are not! Please note also that these are our choices, not our predictions of what will be nominated for Tony Awards when the official nominations are announced on Tuesday, May 2. This has been a packed season, and in many categories it was very tough to choose nominees from among the worthy candidates. But choose we have—using the eligibility and category decisions of the real Tony Awards as guidelines—and here are the results. Without further delay: Congratulations to the 2023 TONY* nominees!
