The Tony Awards Administrations committee met December 8 to determine the eligibility of the first 12 shows of the 2021–2022 Broadway season ahead of the 75th annual ceremony.

The productions discussed were: Girl from the North Country; Pass Over; Lackawanna Blues; Six; Chicken & Biscuits; Is This A Room; Thoughts of a Colored Man; The Lehman Trilogy; Dana H.; Caroline, or Change; Diana, The Musical; and Trouble in Mind.

Among the notable, though perhaps not unexpected, decisions were that the six leads of Six will individually be eligible for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical category (for the London bow, the stars were jointly nominated for an Olivier Award), Trouble in Mind and Lackawanna Blues will officially be considered revivals despite never having played Broadway until now, and playwright Lucas Hnath, should he be nominated in Best Play for Dana H., will share the nod with his mother, Dana Higginbotham, whose exact words (and voice) are used throughout the entirety of the docu-drama.

Two additional items regarding musicals that had opened prior to the pandemic shutdown, but not in time to be eligibility for the 74th annual ceremony: for Girl From the North Country, Colin Bates will be considered eligible for featured performance, despite not having joined the show until its 2021 reopening. Meanwhile, the Ivo van Hove-helmed revival of West Side Story, which effectively closed March 11, 2020, will not be considered eligible at all.

No word yet on when the 75th annual ceremony will take place; the 74th, delayed due to the pandemic, brought the 2019–2020 season to an official close this past September.
