The Tony Awards Administration Committee assembled January 16 to confirm the eligibility status of 11 Broadway productions for the 2024–2025 season.

Productions discussed included Sunset Blvd., A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical, Maybe Happy Ending, Tammy Faye, Elf, Swept Away, Death Becomes Her, Cult of Love, Eureka Day, Gypsy, and All In.

This was the second time this season that the Administration Committee met to decide the eligibility for the 78th Annual Tony Awards, presented by The Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing. (Read the first round of decisions by clicking here.) Broadway productions must open by April 27 to be eligible for nomination. Nominations for the 2025 Tony Awards will be announced May 1.

The Tony Awards has eligibility rules that place artists in consideration for the various award categories based on billing at opening night. The Administration Committee rules when artists will be considered in ways that fall outside of those rules.

Most notable from the current round of rulings is the Manhattan Theatre Club production of Eureka Day will be considered eligible in the Best Revival of a Play category. Although Jonathan Spector's acclaimed vaccine drama has never been seen on Broadway before, the play premiered Off-Broadway in 2019 and made a London debut in 2022.

All other eligibility determinations were consistent with the show’s opening-night credits. That is, only actors whose names appear above the title are eligible for nomination in the Leading Actor/Actress categories. Producers must petition the Administration Committee in order to change actors' eligibility status.

The Tony Awards Administration Committee is comprised of 24 members: 10 are designated by the Wing, 10 by the League, and one each by the Dramatists Guild, Actors’ Equity Association, United Scenic Artists, and the Society of Stage Directors and Choreographers. The committee determines eligibility for nominations in all awards categories and reviews the rules governing the awards.
