NEW YORK (CelebrityAccess) — The American Theatre Wing has announced the nominations for the 74th annual Antoinette Perry “Tony” Awards with Grand Horizons, The Inheritance, Sea Wall/A Life, Slave Play, and The Sound Inside all in the running for best play.

Moulin Rouge!, Jagged Little Pill and Tina: The Tina Turner Musical are all in the running for the 2020 Tony for best musical.

The nominations, selected by an independent committee of 41 theatre professionals appointed by the Tony Awards Administration Committee, were announced on the official Tony Awards YouTube channel by Tony Award winner James Monroe Iglehart.

The 2020 American Theatre Wing’s Tony Awards are presented by The Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing. At The Broadway League, Thomas Schumacher is Chairman and Charlotte St. Martin is President. At the American Theater Wing, David Henry Hwang is Chairman and Heather A. Hitchens is President.

The awards show, which was postponed earlier this year, will take place virtually for 2020. Additional information, including a date and platform for the awards ceremony, will be announced soon.

“Though unprecedented events cut the 2019-2020 Broadway season short, it was a year full of extraordinary work that deserves to be recognized,” said Charlotte St. Martin, President of the Broadway League, and Heather Hitchens, President & CEO of the American Theatre Wing, in a statement. “We are thrilled not only to have found a way to properly celebrate our artists’ incredible achievements this season, but also to be able to uplift the entire theatre community and show the world what makes our Broadway family so special at this difficult time. The show must go on, no matter what – and it will.”
