The Tony Awards Nominating Committee will meet Tuesday to vote on this year’s nominations The official eligibility cutoff date was Feb. 19 for all Broadway productions opening in the 2019-2020 season. That left the following productions eligible for 2020 Tony Award nominations: “Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune,” “Moulin Rouge! The Musical,” “Sea Wall/A Life,” Betrayal," "The Height of the Storm," “The Great Society, ”Slave Play," “Linda Vista," ”The Rose Tattoo," The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical," “The Sound Inside," ”Tina – The Tina Turner Musical," “The Inheritance," ”A Christmas Carol," “Jagged Little Pill," ”My Name is Lucy Barton," “A Soldier’s Play” and “Grand Horizons.” Broadway theaters abruptly closed on March 12, knocking out all shows — including 16 that were still scheduled to open. Some spring shows — like a musical about Michael Jackson and a revival of Neil Simon’s “Plaza Suite” starring Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker — pushed their production to next year.
