The 2026 Tony Awards are set to celebrate the best of American theater this Sunday in New York. The ceremony recognizes outstanding achievements in Broadway and stage productions, drawing attention to talents who transition from screen to stage.

This year's nominations include prominent film actors like Daniel Radcliffe, nominated for Best Actor in a Play for his role in the dark monologue "Every Brilliant Thing," and Luke Evans, vying for Best Actor in a Musical for his performance in "Richard Oโ€™Brienโ€™s The Rocky Horror Show." Both actors are seeking to broaden their accolades beyond their well-known film careers.

The answer will be given this Sunday at the 2026 Tony Awards ceremony, an award that annually recognizes stage productions in the US and undoubtedly marks a before and after for the nominees.

"The Lost Boys," a musical based on the 1980s vampire series, and "Schmigadoon!," a parody of musical theater, lead the nominations with 12 each, competing in categories such as Best Musical. The ceremony also highlights veteran talent, with 96-year-old June Squibb becoming the oldest nominee for her work in "Marjorie Prime."

Danny Burstein holds the record for the most nominations in history with nine, though he has only won once. Singer P!NK is set to co-host the event and plans an elaborate acrobatic performance. While the ceremony will not be broadcast live in Mexico, updates will be provided on the official X account.

While not believing it, she will put on an acrobatic show with more than 100 artists on stage.
