New Plays 2024-2025

Would Yellow Face be considered a revival? It's been 17 years since it was first seen in NYC and has had a good number of productions since then so I feel like it would fall into the "classics" category.

As for Tonys, without having seen most of these I would assume English and Hills of California are early predictions for getting a nomination (and possible win), with a likely dark horse nom for Oh Mary too (or maybe an acting nom for Cole Escola--I feel like it will be acknowledged in some way)

I’d say the Best Play noms at this moment are English, Hills of California, Oh Mary!, Purpose and then either Stranger Things or Cult of Love (just based on what I’ve heard from out of town). I adore English but I think Oh Mary! could pull out a win if the voters who don’t want to support it fail to rally around one more serious alternatives.

Guess Best Actor will be (holy moly) Denzel Washington, Jake Gyllenhaal, Daniel Dae Kim, Robert Downey Jr., and George Clooney?! I hope Tonys finally follow Drama Desk and OCC and go all-gender in performance categories, but if not, Cole Escola might be more strategic to run in Best Actress (and how could they resist going up against Patti LuPone?). If Dorian Gray transfers, sounds like Sarah Snook will challenge for it.

I would LOVE to see a nom for Marjan Neshat if she’s back in English — not sure if she’s be deemed lead or featured.

You all are sleeping on Eureka Day,

Picture of Dorian Gray, Motive and the cue, Little Bear Ridge Road, Barcelona, My Neighbor Totoro, Dear England, SH*T. Meet. Fan. are new plays rumored for Broadway. I’m not putting them on the list until something is announced.

Cult Of Love

Purpose"

Wouldn't Dorian Gray be considered a revival, as the story has been adapted for the stage before? Correct me if I am wrong, I still don't quite understand the Tony Rules for what's considered a revival or a new play.

Gotcha! Thanks for the clarification!
