The Tony Awards Administration Committee met April 28 to issue final rulings on the 2024-2025 season, jointly deciding where productions and artists will be considered for this year's Tony Award nominations if different from the standard protocols.

Nominations will be revealed May 1 beginning at 8:30 AM ET. Playbill will be covering the announcement live. Winners will be named June 8 in a televised and streaming ceremony at Radio City Music Hall.

Many of the rulings are fairly expected. Both Floyd Collins and The Last Five Years, both making their Broadway debut following prominent Off-Broadway and regional stagings dating to as much as 30 years ago, will be considered revivals, with the former's writers, Tina Landau and Adam Guettel, and the latter's Jason Robert Brown eligible to be considered Tony winners should either win Best Revival of a Musical. The category is typically won by the staging's producers. This anomaly was established to address the writers' lack of eligibility in the book and score categories.

Meanwhile, John Proctor is the Villain, which is making its own Broadway debut after becoming somewhat of a regional theatre favorite since premiering in 2022, will be considered a new play and eligible in the Best Play category.

The rulings also saw some A-list above-the-title stars move into consideration in the Featured categories (above-the-title stars are typically considered Leading), including Bernadette Peters and Lea Salonga in Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends, and Jinkx Monsoon in Pirates! The Penzance Musical.
