Twenty eligible shows in the non-profit and commercial off-Broadway arenas met the eligibility requirements and were considered.

While theater fans have clearly marked May 3rd on their calendars as the day we learn the nominees for the 2016 TONY AWAYDS, HAMILTON's Renee Elise Goldsberry would rather be kept in the dark about the date.
