The show to beat at the Tony Awards on June 12 will be Michael R. Jackson's A Strange Loop. The show won Jackson the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and is now up for 11 Tony nominations—including Best Musical.

"When I began working on this show, it started off as a monologue I wrote for myself to create a life raft at a very uncertain time, and it grew from there," Jackson told Town & Country. "For it to have evolved and become this, what it is now, is exciting, terrifying, and ­bewildering—and I’m into it."

Below, see the full list of Tony nominations. The 2022 Tonys will be hosted by Ariana DeBose, and will air on CBS and Paramount+ on Sunday, June 12 at 8 p.m.
