Broadway got an early start on Tuesday morning, when Bebe Neuwirth and Brandon Victor Dixon announced the 2019 Tony Award nominees live from the New York Public Library for Performing Arts at Lincoln Center.
There’s no shortage of star power, with Adam Driver (“Burn This”), Annette Bening (“All My Sons”), Bryan Cranston (“Network”), Jeff Daniels (“To Kill a Mocking Bird”) and Laurie Metcalf (“Hillary and Clinton”) all recognized for their performances this season.
