Date Set for Tony Nominations

Another milestone for the 2012 Tony nominations has been set. We already knew that the Tony Awards will take place on June 10th, that they will be broadcast from the Beacon Theatre, and that, to be eligible for a 2012 Tony, a show has to open on Broadway on or before April 26th, 2012. But NOW we know when we will find out the official list of nominees -- May 1st. The list of nominees will be read at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center at Lincoln Center. The Tony Awards are presented by the Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing.
