The two new musicals led the pack for the 72nd Annual Tony Awards with 12 nominations each, exhibiting a Broadway season filled with notable entertainment brands reimagined on stage. The critically acclaimed new musical _The Band’s Visit_ followed with 11 nominations, and so did the revivals of _Angels in America_ and _Carousel_. The highly anticipated _Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts One and Two_ and musical revival _My Fair Lady_ received 10 nods each. > [](https://twitter.com/TheTonyAwards/status/991327917266407426) With the smallest crop of eligible shows for Tony nominations in years, productions this year marked a trend with a reliance on massive entertainment brands and, in some cases, star power. _Frozen_, the live-action version of the hit 2013 Disney film, joined _Mean Girls, Spongebob_ and _The Band’s Visit_ among the nominees for Best Musical. And _Harry Potter and the Cursed Child_ brought the mega-hit to the American stage for the first time. Big names in film and television like Denzel Washington, Andrew Garfield, Amy Schumer, Tina Fey and Michael Cera were also recognized for their work on Broadway this season. Bruce Springsteen will also receive an honorary Tony in wake of his consistently sold-out _Springsteen on Broadway._ John Leguizamo, whose one-man show _Latin History for Morons_ was nominated for Best Play, will also receive a special Tony Award.

Both fresh off of Broadway runs, Sara Bareilles and Josh Groban will host the 72nd Annual Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Sunday, June 10\.
