The theatre world woke up to some serious matters to discuss, as the nominations for the 64th Annual Tony Awards were announced this morning, EW.com reports.

The sweet melodies of the stage dominated the field, with musicals “Fela!” and “La Cage aux Folles” each receiving 11 nominations. “Memphis,” another musical, nipped at their heels with eight nods. “Fences” rolled in at the top of the plays category with ten nominations, including two for its star performers, Denzel Washington and Viola Davis.

Other well-known actors and actresses earned nominations, too. Big names including Jude Law, Christopher Walken, Laura Linney, Kelsey Grammer, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Scarlett Johansson appeared on the nominations list alongside other talented performers.

The results will be in when the Tony Awards are presented on June 13.

Until then, we’ll let the tweets do the talking:
