Lea Michele and Myles Frost have been revealed to be leading the 2023 Tony Award nominations announcement ceremony, one of the important ceremonies before the annual awards show annually.
Both Frost and Michele were breakout stars of their respective companies, with the former originating the role of Pop King Michael Jackson while the latter stepped into the shoes of Fanny Brice.
2023 Tony Awards Nominations Ceremony
According to Billboard, Myles Frost and Lea Michele will be hosting the Tony Awards Nominations ceremony on May 2, 2023.
Everyone seemed to have taken delight in Frost's hosting announcement gig at the 2023 Grammy Awards pre-show as he announced several categories switching places with other stars back then.
Meanwhile, Michele, perhaps the most controversial Broadway star last year because of her takeover of "Funny Girl" on Broadway, seems to still be getting that attention today.
The publication says that the Tony Award Nominations ceremony will be live-streamed on the show's official YouTube Channel at 9:00 a.m. ET.
However, some categories will be announced already on CBS Mornings 30 minutes before the actual announcement ceremony.
The full Tony Awards 2023 nominees will be published on Tony's official website following the full announcement.
Can Myles Frost, Lea Michele Win Tonys?
As for Frost and Michele, they are not eligible for getting Tony Awards this season already.
Frost already received his in 2022 when he won Best Leading Actor in a Musical for "MJ: The Musical." He became the youngest actor to win the award at 22 years old.
On the other hand, Michele, despite all the media attention and the critical acclaim she received last year, is not eligible to earn any nomination this year. This is because she was only a replacement for the originating actress, Beanie Feldstein, in the revival production of "Funny Girl."
Surprisingly, the revival production of "Funny Girl" only received one nod when it opened - a Best Featured Actor in a Musical nomination for Jared Grimes.
2023 Tony Awards Nominee Predictions
According to Gold Derby, "Kimberly Akimbo," "Into The Woods," "Parade," "Camelot," "Some Like It Hot," and the "Sweeney Todd" revival might be vying for the top musical category spots.
As for acting categories, Philippa Soo, Micaela Diamond, Annaleigh Ashford, Sara Bareilles, and even Patina Miller could be nominated for Best Actress.
It might also be the year for Josh Groban to finally win his Tony for Best Actor because of his role in Sweeney Todd, as well as J. Harrison Ghee and Andrew Burnap.
