Singer Alicia Keys says she was unable to speak after her semi-autobiographical show “Hell’s Kitchen” earned 13 nods when the nominations for the 2024 Tony Awards were announced Tuesday. “These are very, very special moments,’' said nominee and veteran star Brian d’Arcy James, who is nominated for actor in a leading role for “Days of Wine and Roses.” The Tony Awards ceremony will be June 16. Academy Award winner and Tony Award-nominee Ariana DeBose, who hosted both the 2023 and 2022 ceremonies, will be back this year and will produce and choreograph the opening number. These were some of the reactions Tuesday from nominees: ___“It is an exciting morning. I feel great. This is a very special thing. I’ve had the good fortune of being in this position before, but it does not get old, and I do not take this stuff for granted, especially the further I go down the road. These, are very, very special moments.” — “Days of Wine and Roses” star Brian d’Arcy James in an interview. |
