Here Are Your 2018 Tony Nominations
Happy Tony nom day, everybody! This morning, we heard the full list of 2018 Tony Award nominees, straight from the very beautiful lips of announcers Leslie Odom, Jr. and Katharine McPhee. We’re especially happy that two of our faves—Mean Girls and SpongeBob SquarePants—are leading the pack with 12 nods each.
