When the 77th Tony Awards nominations are announced this morning, those honored with recognition will have been selected by a small group of theatre professionals who commit to seeing each and every eligible production that opened during the 2023-2024 season. They are thus able to make informed decisions on what shows, performers and creatives should earn the spotlight of New York theatre’s top honor.

This past season, 60 theatre professionals saw all 36 eligible musicals, play, and revivals and will select the nominees in 26 competitive categories.

Below, see a complete list of the 2023-2024 Tony Awards nominating committee members, including their professions plus past Tony nominations and wins. Some of these nominators may have to recuse themselves prior to voting if they have a conflict, such as if a production that they worked is eligible for a nomination this year.

The Gossip Girl reboot removed a major element of the original series: the mystery surrounding Gossip Girl's true identity. The new Gossip Girl's identity was revealed in the first episode, unlike the original series which waited until the finale for the reveal. The reboot lacked the curiosity and intrigue of the original series, which affected its success and audience engagement.

The short-lived Gossip Girl reboot changed one crucial element of the original series that should have never been messed with. Based on the book series of the same name by Cecily von Ziegesar, Gossip Girl follows a group of wealthy, privileged teenagers on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, whose business is put on blast by an anonymous, all-knowing blogger named "Gossip Girl." After a six-season run from 2007 to 2012, Gossip Girl was revived in 2021 by former executive producer Joshua Safran.

There were some key differences between the Gossip Girl reboot and the original.

Ain’t No Mo star and playwright Jordan E. Cooper, Kpop composer Helen Park, and Ojibwe and Oneida performance artist Ty Defoe are among the new members of the Tony Award nominating committee.

The trio are among 25 new members of the 2023-2024 committee announced today by the Tony Awards Administration Committee. Other newcomers include Dear Evan Hansen composer Benj Pasek, writer-director Miranda Haymon, actors Jason Tam, Bob Balaban and Adam Chanler-Berat, and Flying Over Sunset lyricist Michael Korie.

The 2023-2024 committee of the Tony nominators will include 60 members, each of whom serve a three-year term. The Tony Awards are presented by The Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing.

The 2023-2024 Nominating Committee includes:

Warren Adams – Director/Choreographer/Producer

Becky Ann Baker – Actor

Bob Balaban** – Actor/Producer/Director/Writer

Pun Bandhu – Actor/Producer

Danielle Barlow** – Theatre Administrator

Sarah Benson** – Director

Rick Boynton** – Creative Producer, Chicago Shakespeare Theater

Christopher Burney – Producer...

The Tony Awards has added new members to its nominating committee, including Ain’t No Mo star and playwright Jordan E. Cooper and Kpop composer Helen Park, who have both been outspoken about the need for change within the industry.

Other new members joining for the 2023-2024 Broadway season include The Greatest Showman and Dear Evan Hansen songwriter Benj Pasek, actor Bob Balaban, actor and playwright Adam Chanler-Berat, interdisciplinary artist Ty Defoe and director Miranda Haymon.

The Tony Awards nominating committee is typically younger and more diverse than the larger Tony Awards voting body. However, the addition of Cooper and Park is particularly notable, as both had shows this past season that posted early closing notices and have spoken out about the need for Broadway to improve how it markets to and welcomes diverse audiences (Kpop is about competing Korean pop bands, while Ain’t No Mo’ follows a series...

Gossip Girl is a series created by Joshua Safran, Stephanie Savage and Josh Schwartz.

Gossip Girl (2021-2023)

Eight years after the original website went dark,...

Editor's note: The below contains spoilers for the Gossip Girl Season 2 finale.Since teachers Kate (Tavi Gevinson), Jordan (Adam Chanler-Berat), and Wendy (Megan Ferguson) revived the defunct Gossip Girl moniker made famous for its ruthless coverage of the elite by one Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley) on HBO Max’s Gossip Girl reboot, they have sought to better the students at Constance and St. Jude’s by holding them accountable. They’ve taken aspects of the original website and shifted them for a modern twist with an Instagram account, sharing secrets that pour into their direct messages from peers, teachers, and adults alike. They’ve caused real harm to some, like damaging Julien (Jordan Alexander) and her reputation when accusers were coming forward to name her father Davis (Luke Kirby) as a sexual predator.

“So here’s the goss: it is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to announce Gossip Girl will not be continuing on HBO Max,” showrunner Joshua Safran tweeted on Thursday. “The EPs and I will forever be grateful to the network and studio for their faith and support; the writers for their devious brains and dexterous talent; the superstar cast for being the greatest of collaborators and friends; and the crew for their hard work, dedication, and love for the project.

NYC’s messiest Instagram account is typing its “XOXOs” for the last time. “Gossip Girl,” the HBO Max series and sequel to the CW hit of the same name, has been canceled, the streamer announced Thursday.

When teachers Kate Keller (Tavi Gevinson), Jordan Glassberg (Adam Chanler-Berat), and Wendy (Megan Ferguson) decided to revive the Gossip Girl legacy made infamous by one Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley), they needed a hook to lure people in. What the original Gossip Girl (the show and the website) excelled at was the rivalry between frenemies Serena (Blake Lively) and Blair (Leighton Meester), whose turbulent relationship shook the Upper East Side of New York on practically a daily basis. Trying to follow in the footsteps of their predecessor, the teachers found their own rivalry to focus on in HBO Max's Gossip Girl reboot: Queen of Constance Julien Calloway (Jordan Alexander) and her long-lost younger sister Zoya Lott (Whitney Peak).

Blair (Leighton Meester) and Serena (Blake Lively). When you think of the original Gossip Girl, those two characters and their incredibly complex friendship is the first thing to come to mind. When creating the reboot, how to create a friendship and rivalry as deep was something the writers chose to not only explore among themselves but also introduced this thread into the series as something the new Gossip Girl — teachers Kate (Tavi Gevinson), Jordan (Adam Chanler-Berat), and Wendy (Megan Ferguson) — had to consider. They had their It Girl and Queen of Constance, Julien (Jordan Alexander), but who would be on the opposite side of things? Their choice, Zoya (Whitney Peak), was clearly unfit for rival status and the first season suffered because of it. However, the second season has begun with Monet (Savannah Lee Smith) declaring war on her frenemy Julien, proving herself a much better rival in just two...

Exclusive: Gossip Girl star Grace Duah has been upped to series regular for the show’s upcoming second season, premiering December 1.

Duah plays Shan Barnes, a free spirit and best friend to Zoya Lott (Whitney Peak). Season 2 will reveal pivotal details about her character as well as romances and missed connections.

Gossip Girl is a reboot of a CW original series of the same name which is set nine years after the original website went dark.

The second season of HBO Max's reboot of Gossip Girl has been in production for a while now, and the latest tease hints at a big comeback.

The social media accounts for the series shared a video of a brunette woman sitting in an empty theater, clearly enjoying what is happening on stage.

“It only takes one spark to start a fire,” the video teases.

In the caption, the message continues: “And I have a feeling that this city is about to burn.”

The video quality is not great, which is probably intentional to keep fans guessing the mystery person's identity.

"They hadn’t even started production yet; they were in pre-production and ready to roll," HBO Max chief content officer Kevin Reilly recently told the outlet.

Doherty has been recurring on Legacies Season 2, playing a 500-year-old vampire with distinct views on how people should be living in this day and age. 

He attracted the attention of Lizzie Saltzman, but his storyline seemingly came to a dramatic conclusion on Legacies Season 2 Episode 13 when he was left in the prison world. 

Viewers were left to question his fate, and given how busy the actor is, it's unlikely he will reprise the role any time soon.

HBO Max is rounding out the ensemble cast for Gossip Girl, its upcoming series reimagining of the pop culture phenomenon that made household names of stars such as Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick. Tavi Gevinson (Scream Queens) is set as a lead, along with Thomas Doherty (High Fidelity), Adam Chanler-Berat (Next to Normal) and Zion Moreno (Claws) join previously announced lead Emily Alyn Lind.

The 10-episode series hails from Joshua Safran, Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage’s Fake Empire, Alloy Entertainment, Warner Bros TV and CBS Television Studios.

Like the original series, the new iteration of Gossip Girl, written by Safran, is based on the book by Cecily von Ziegesar. Eight years after the original website went dark, a new generation of New York private school teens are introduced to the social surveillance of Gossip Girl. The prestige series will address just how much...

Set eight years after the original’s finale, the “Gossip Girl” update will follow a new generation of New York private school teens who are introduced to the social surveillance of the Gossip Girl site.

Gevinson’s previous credits include “Scream Queens,” “The Twilight Zone,” and “Enough Said.” She is repped by UTA and Untitled Entertainment. Doherty recently appeared in “High Fidelity” at Hulu...

Thomas Doherty is retracting his fangs and making tracks for the Upper East Side — though something tells us he’ll need them there, too. Doherty, who recurs as ancient vampire hottie Sebastian on The CW’s Legacies, is joining the cast of HBO Max’s upcoming Gossip Girl reboot, TVLine has learned.

In addition to his stint in Mystic Falls, the Scottish-born actor has also held down roles on Hulu’s High Fidelity series, HBO’s Catherine the Great miniseries, and Disney Channel’s Descendants movies.

John Larroquette will star in Nantucket Sleigh Ride, a new play by John Guare directed by Jerry Zaks and heading to Lincoln Center Theater’s Off Broadway Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater in February.

The production will reunite Guare and Zaks with the theater company that housed the premieres of Six Degrees of Separation and The House of Blue Leaves. With previews beginning February 21, 2019, and opening Monday, March 18, Nantucket Sleigh Ride will feature a cast of 10.

In addition to Larroquette, the cast will include Clea Alsip, Tina Benko, Adam Chanler-Berat, Jordan Gelber, Grace Rex, Stacey Sargeant, Douglas Sills and Will Swenson. Additional casting will be announced at a later date.

The play’s synopsis: “In his attempts to recover a memory of an event that happened on that ‘far away island’ 35 years before, Nantucket Sleigh Ride plunges a New York playwright-turned-venture capitalist (Larroquette) into a whirlpool of a giant lobster, Roman Polanski,...

Nevertheless, she persists, that maid of Orleans, and by the end of the Manhattan Theatre Club’s attractive, not flawless, Broadway revival of Shaw’s Saint Joan, starring the endearing Condola Rashad, resistance is mostly futile.

Directed by Daniel Sullivan with an easy flow that appears to modernize the 1923 play and keep all that Shavian verbiage moving at a smart clip, Saint Joan would seem an ideal resurrection for an era of #MeToo and the rejection of binary gender cages, but this Joan doesn’t quite drive its sword into that ground as forcefully as you might hope.

Instead, Sullivan and Rashad hit harder on the play’s lament over society’s treatment of its Saints, a sympathy that, in theory at least, would extend to, say, a Saint John. Rashad – a Tony nominee for last year’s A Doll’s House, Part 2 and star of TV’s Billions – plays...

A friendly reminder The new Broadway production of Amelie, A New Musical, directed by Tony Award winner Pam MacKinnon Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, with a book by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award nominee Craig Lucas The Light in the Piazza, music by Daniel Messe and lyrics by Nathan Tysen amp Messe, starring Tony Award nominee Phillipa Soo and Adam Chanler-Berat, opens next Monday, April 3, 2017 at Broadway's Walter Kerr Theatre 219 W 48th Street.

Fifteen years after “Amélie” first charmed moviegoers around the world, the achievements of director Jean-Pierre Jeunet and writer Guillaume Laurant are still remarkable. A sumptuous modern love story, the film was filled with enough cross-city chasing and dramatic camera movements to make a viewer feel like they’d had a full exercise during the two-hour running time.

In contrast, “Amélie: A New Musical,” which saw its Los Angeles premiere last week, is a relative stroll through Paris that’s still colorful fun without quite the same degree of satisfaction. However, what this stage version lacks in drive, it supplants with a breezy, pared-down version of plot and atmosphere more in line with the tastes of a casual theatergoing American audience.

Craig Lucas’ book sticks fairly close to the film’s basic skeleton: Amélie Poulain, a comfortably single and romantic-at-heart café waitress, makes a fateful discovery in her apartment. Stumbling on...

Producers announced today that Amelie, A New Musical will begin performances on Broadway on Thursday, March 9, 2017 at the Walter Kerr Theatre 219 W 48th Street and officially open Monday, April 3, 2017, following a limited engagement at Center Theatre Group's Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles December 4, 2016 - January 15, 2017. The company will be led by Tony Award nominee Phillipa Soo and Adam Chanler-Berat, following the Los Angeles engagement.
