Sara Krulwich/The New York Times
A scene from "In the Heights," which received a Tony Award nomination for best musical.

The Tony nominations are in, and it would be difficult to come up with a season that presented a clearer portrait of where Broadway is headed and where it has been.

The Nominated Shows

Theater Review | 'Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps'
Spies, Blonde and a Guy Go North by Northwest
By BEN BRANTLEY
"The 39 Steps" is an absurdly enjoyable, gleefully theatrical riff on Alfred Hitchcock's 1935 film.
Theater Review | 'August: Osage County'
Mama Doesn't Feel Well, but Everyone Else Will Feel Much Worse
By CHARLES ISHERWOOD
This turbo-charged tragicomedy is the most exciting new American play Broadway has seen in years.
Theater Review | 'Boeing-Boeing'
Up, Up and Away (and Watch Those Swinging Doors)
By BEN BRANTLEY
"Boeing-Boeing," a creaky French comedy that has been given the makeover of the season by the director Matthew Warchus, has no earthly right to be as funny as it is.
Theater Review | 'Cry-Baby'
Swivel-Hipped Rebel and Restless Virgin Meet Cute
By BEN BRANTLEY
"This show in search of an identity has all the saliva-stirring properties of week-old pre-chewed gum.
Theater Review | 'Grease'
As Seen on TV! Danny and Sandy 4-Ever and Ever.
By BEN BRANTLEY
The message of this latest "Grease" is that anyone, famous or not, can star in a Broadway musical.
Theater Review | 'Gypsy'
Curtain Up! It's Patti's Turn at 'Gypsy'.
By BEN BRANTLEY
Patti LuPone has found her focus as a dangerously obsessed Momma Rose in a wallop-packing revival of "Gypsy."
Theater Review | 'The Homecoming'
You Can Go Home Again, but You'll Pay the Consequences.
By BEN BRANTLEY
As this first-rate revival makes electrifyingly clear, Harold Pinter's masterpiece is every bit as big as its reputation.
Theater Review | 'In the Heights'
The View From Uptown: American Dreaming to a Latin Beat.
By CHARLES ISHERWOOD
First seen Off Broadway last year, "In the Heights" moves uptown with its considerable assets confidently in place.
Theater Review | 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses'
What Lurks Beneath the Ruffles.
By BEN BRANTLEY
Ben Daniels is making a sensational Broadway debut in Rufus Norris's eye-filling, very imbalanced revival of "Les Liaisons Dangereuses."
Theater Review | 'Macbeth'
Toil and Trouble Are Still Bubbling Over.
By BEN BRANTLEY
The Chichester Festival Theater's "Macbeth," starring Patrick Stewart and Kate Fleetwood, has moved to Broadway.
Theater Review | 'Passing Strange'
It's a Hard Rock Life.
By CHARLES ISHERWOOD
"Passing Strange" is bursting at the seams with melodic songs, and it features a handful of theatrical performances to treasure.
Theater Review | 'Rock 'n' Roll'
Going to Prague in 1968, but Not Without His Vinyl.
By BEN BRANTLEY
Get out your handkerchiefs, if you please, for "Rock 'n' Roll," the triumphantly sentimental new play by Tom Stoppard.
Theater Review | 'The Seafarer'
A Devil of a Christmas.
By BEN BRANTLEY
One of the finest ensembles to grace a Broadway stage in years is appearing in Conor McPherson's dark and enthralling new play.
Theater Review | 'South Pacific'
Optimist Awash in the Tropics
By BEN BRANTLEY
Love blossoms fast and early in Bartlett Sher's rapturous revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "South Pacific."
Theater Review | 'Sunday in the Park With George'
Down by the Blue Purple Yellow Red Water.
By BEN BRANTLEY
This glorious revival uses 21st-century technology to convey the vision of a 19th-century Pointillist to truly enchanting effect.
Theater Review | 'Xanadu'
Heaven on Wheels, and in Leg Warmers.
By CHARLES ISHERWOOD
This new, improved "Xanadu" is an outlandishly enjoyable stage spoof of the outrageously bad movie from 1980.
