Tony Talk 2026: Musicals and Revivals

In this episode of The Music in Me, I dive into one of the most exciting times of the year for Broadway fans — Tony Awards season! I take a closer look at the 2026 Tony nominees for Best Musical and Best Revival of a Musical, including The Lost Boys, Schmigadoon!, Titaníque, Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York), Ragtime, Cats: The Jellicle Ball, and The Rocky Horror Show.

It gives me the chance to discover new Broadway shows, explore incredible music and stories, and share my excitement with all of you along the way. I talk about vampire rock musicals, hilarious comedy parodies, emotional historical storytelling, bold Broadway revivals, cult musical fandoms, and why theater continues reinventing itself year after year. I also share my personal Tony predictions, the musicals I most want to see, and my disappointment over Beaches and Jessica Vosk being left out of the nominations.
