At this year's Tony Awards, vampires are out for blood.
This season's most-nominated musical, "The Lost Boys," will compete for top prizes against "Schmigatoon!", "Titanic," and "Two Strangers (Carrying Cake Through New York City)" at the awards ceremony, which will air live from New York City's Radio City Music Hall on June 7 (8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS and streaming online on Paramount+).
For theatergoers, this is one of the most competitive races in recent years, with a fierce battle between Tony Award winners John Lithgow (Giant) and Nathan Lane (Death of a Salesman), as well as favorite Best Supporting Actress contenders Shoshana Bean (The Lost Boys) and Ana Gasteyer (Schmigadoon!). But the most exciting event will be the battle between the critically acclaimed musicals Ragtime and Cats: The Jellicle Ball for Best Revival.
