The 76th Annual Tony Awards earned several nominations for the 2023 unscripted live broadcast, earning nods in Outstanding Choreography for Variety or Reality Programming (Broadway's Karla Puno Garcia), Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special (Glenn Weiss), Outstanding Lighting Design/Lighting Direction for a Variety of Special, and Outstanding Variety Series.
Behind the scenes, several Broadway mainstays were recognized for their TV work. Telsey and Co's Bernard Telsey, Tiffany Little Canfield, and Destiny Lilly are nominated for Outstanding Casting for a Comedy Series for their work on Only Murders in the Building, and John Carrafa picked up a nod for his choreography on the series as well, and Leah J. Loukas and Jimmy Goode were nominated alongside Jameson Eaton and J. Roy Helland for their work on the series' hairstyling team. Along with his nomination for the Only Murders song, Shaiman got a nod for Outstanding Music Composition for a Documentary Series or Special for Albert Brooks: Defending My Life. Waitress composer and Into the Woods star Sara Bareilles got a nomination in the same category, for "The Medium Time" from Girls5Eva.
Two Broadway shows also got Emmy nominations, via their live stage films. Alex Edelman's Just For Us and Mike Birbiglia's The Old Man and the Pool both got nods in the Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special category.
This year's Emmy ceremony was postponed due to Hollywood strikes, with this year's nominees representing primetime television programming from June 1, 2023–May 31, 2024. The Creative Arts ceremony will be held September 7 and 8 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, with the main ceremony following September 15. The latter will broadcast live on ABC.
