Tony Awards 2025: Original Broadway cast of Hamilton to perform at ceremony - plus full list of nominees

• The record-breaking musical Hamilton! is set to see the original Broadway cast reunite next month.
• Over a dozen of the original cast will perform as part of the 78th Tony Awards, taking place on June 8 2025.
• Here’s the full list of nominees ahead of this year’s ceremony, how to watch in the UK and a look if anyone could earn a EGOT this year.

The original Broadway cast of the smash-hit historical musical, Hamitlon!, will be reuniting for a one off performance at this year’s Tony Awards on June 8 2025.

Billboard reports that over two dozen of the performers involved in the multi-award winning production, written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the production, which received a record breaking 16 nominations at the 2016 Tony Awards, walking away with 11 - falling one win short of equalling The Producer’s record of 12 wins.

The musical, which has become a staple of popular culture since its debut Off-Broadway at The Public Theater in New York City on February 17, 2015 before transferring to Off-Broadway at The Public Theater in New York City on February 17, 2015, has also earned awards away from the theatrical world.

The cast won a Grammy for Best Music Show album and became the first original cast album to be certified Diamond by the RIAA on June 26, 2023.

In April 2025, it made history again by logging an astonishing 500 weeks on the Billboard 200, a chart where it currently remains in its 504th week, holding the No. 35 spot - not before cementing its cultural significance, the album was inducted into the prestigious National Recording Registry this year, in its very first year of eligibility, a recognition granted to albums a decade after their release.

The performance is set to be just one of the many highlights from this year’s ceremony, taking place at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City, which is hosted this year by Wicked actress, Tony, Emmy, and Grammy Award-winner and three-time Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo

Could anyone earn an ‘EGOT’ at this year’s Tony Awards?

Among the provided Tony Awards nominees, Audra McDonald stands out as being the closest to achieving this rare feat; already one of the most decorated performers in Tony history with six wins, she also boasts two Grammy Awards and one Emmy Award, needing only an Oscar to complete her EGOT.

While other nominees like George Clooney (who has two Oscars and a Daytime Emmy) and Darren Criss (with a Primetime Emmy) would move a step closer to EGOT status with a Tony win, they would still require additional awards in other categories. Similarly, Jonathan Groff has a Grammy but would still need an Emmy and an Oscar.
