Broadway's biggest night, the 77th Tony Awards, took place at New York City's Lincoln Center on June 16, 2024. The red carpet was a spectacle of fashion and glamour as stars arrived in style for the prestigious event. Among those who graced the red carpet were Cynthia Erivo in a golden strapless custom Louis Vuitton gown, Ariana DeBose wearing a strapless Oscar de la Renta gown that resembled stained glass, and Daniel Radcliffe and Erin Darke in custom tuxedos by Todd Snyder. The nominees for the awards included J. Alex Brinson and Lindsay Mendez for 'Merrily We Roll Along', Sarah Paulson for 'Appropriate', Rachel McAdams for 'Mary Jane', Jeremy Strong for 'An Enemy of the People', and Daniel Radcliffe himself. The ceremony was hosted by Ariana DeBose, who also wore a stunning Oscar de la Renta gown. The Tony Awards are known for recognizing both established and rising stars in the theater world, with nominations announced earlier in April.
Daniel Radcliffe received his first Tony nomination for 'Merrily We Roll Along', which marked his fifth Broadway show. Jeremy Strong was nominated for a Tony Award for his role in 'An Enemy of the People'. Rachel McAdams and Sarah Paulson were both nominated for their roles in 'Mary Jane' and 'Appropriate', respectively. The awards ceremony was broadcast live on CBS, Paramount+, and Pluto TV.
The Broadway season had been a busy one, with 18 shows opening in just two months. Theatergoers and actors alike were excited to finally celebrate the achievements of the theater community.
In addition to the nominees mentioned above, other notable attendees included Nicole Scherzinger in a bright red satin dress with a mermaid-style skirt, Jonathan Groff looking dapper in a black suit with a white shirt, and Ashley Park bringing the drama with a black corset dress and matching full-length gloves. The Tony Awards are always an exciting event for Broadway fans, and this year was no exception.
