The Tony Awards Administration Committee has revealed the Nominating Committee for the 2025-2026 Broadway season. Learn more about the Tony Awards here!

Acclaimed director Mark Brokaw, whose visionary work spanned Broadway, Off-Broadway, and regional theaters across the United States and abroad, has passed away after a battle with cancer. 

For Broadway fans, the highlight of every spring is the announcement of the Tony Award nominations—the most prestigious recognition in American theatre. But how are Tony nominees chosen, and who gets to decide? In this guide, we break down the Tony Awards nomination process and reveal how Broadway’s biggest honors are determined.

Center Theatre Group is presenting the world premiere of Fake It Until You Make It, a farce by LA based Larissa FastHorse (pictured), the first Native American playwright to be featured at the Mark Taper Forum through March 9. I decided to speak with her about her life in the Sicangu Lakota Nation and the creation of the play.

Leadership transformations and financial strategies are reshaping the theater world, with new leaders like Alisha Tonsic at TCG and Jan Svendsen Weiss launching ACTivate4Good to drive innovation and social impact. Broadway faces mounting pressures as producers navigate rising costs and favor jukebox musicals over original works to mitigate risks. Regionally, initiatives like BroadwayWorld’s donation database and the reinvention of Cal Shakes’ scene shop demonstrate resilience amid challenges.

As BroadwayWorld previously reported, Second Stage Theater will vacate the Tony Kiser Theatre at the end of this year. A documentary has been released on YouTube detailing the history of the venue, from 1999-2024.
