Notes
- In November 2017, the Broadway production of 1984, which ran from May 18 through October 8, 2017 at the Hudson Theatre, was deemed ineligible for competition at the 72nd Tony Awards.[7] In April 2018, the Tony Awards Administration Committee reversed its decision and allowed 1984 to be considered for nominations.[4]
