Alicia Keys' musical "Hell's Kitchen" and the 1970s rock-inspired "Stereophonic" lead the nominations for the 2024 Tony Awards, American theater's most prestigious honors, followed by "The Outsiders," "Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club," and "Appropriate."

The nominations, announced by the Tony Awards committee on Tuesday, also include multiple nods for "Merrily We Roll Along," "Water for Elephants," "Purlie Victorious: A Non-Confederate Romp Through the Cotton Patch," and "Suffs."

"Suffs," which chronicles the National American Woman Suffrage Association's fight for voting rights, was produced by former first lady and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

"Congratulations to @suffsmusical on the Tony nod for Best Musical, plus five other nominations!" Clinton wrote on X with a photo of herself and the show's lead Jenny Anderson at the Broadway premiere.

The winners will be announced at a June 16 ceremony, which also marks the 77th anniversary of the awards honoring Broadway talent.

"Hell's Kitchen" and "Stereophonic" each received 13 nominations, with "The Outsiders," based on S.E. Hinton's 1967 young adult novel and Francis Ford Coppola's 1983 film adaptation, receiving 12. "Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club," a revival of the 1966 musical, garnered nine nominations.

"Thank you to Susie Hinton, who at 15 years old wrote the novel The Outsiders, an unflinching, raw, real portrait of what it actually feels like to be a teenager growing up in the great class divide chasm of America," said Danya Taymor, nominated for best direction of a musical for her work on "The Outsiders."

"It's a story for everyone that can help us all hold one another close through the hardest of times. It's an honor to be able to share this story with a new generation of theatergoers," she added.

Dancer and educator Camille A. Brown could be the first Black woman to win a Tony for best choreography following her nomination for "Hell's Kitchen."

“I am absolutely honored and thrilled to receive this nomination for my work on 'Hell's Kitchen.' To celebrate being born and raised in NYC and create movement to Alicia Keys' music was a dream, and to be acknowledged is really special. Shoutout to my hometown, Queens, NY!" she said in a statement.
