Singer Alicia Keys was left speechless after her semi-autobiographical show “Hеll’s Kitchen” received 13 nominations when the 2024 Tony Awards nominees were announced on Tuesday.

“These are very, very special moments,” remarked veteran actor Brian d’Arcy James, who was nominated for his role in “Days of Wine and Roses.” The Tony Awards ceremony will be held on June 16, with Academy Award-winner and Tony Award-nominee Ariana DeBose returning to host, produce, and choreograph the opening number.

Here are some of the reactions from Tuesday’s nominees:

“It’s an exciting morning. I feel great. This is a very special thing. I’ve been fortunate enough to be in this position before, but it never gets old, and I don’t take it for granted, especially as time goes on. These are very, very special moments.” – Brian d’Arcy James, star of “Days of Wine and Roses,” in an interview.

“I’m so grateful for this nomination and for the historic recognition of our entire show. As a kid from Long Island who took the train into the city to see Broadway shows from the age of 7, this is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.” – Tom Pecinka, star of “Stereophonic,” in a statement.

“Ah, oh my god! I haven’t caught my breath. I was watching the nominations live on the couch with my husband, Matt, and when they announced our show, I knocked over my glass of water and started crying. Growing up in Waitsfield, Vermont, I used to watch the Tonys every year with my mom, so this is a childhood dream come true.” – Shaina Taub, book and music writer for “Suffs,” in a statement.

“I am absolutely stunnеd. This season is proof that Broadway is back, and the renaissance is here. Thank you to the Tonys for hearing our stories and seeing our hearts. Much love to the other shows and nominees.” – Sky Lakota-Lynch, star of “The Outsiders,” in a statement.

“I have always felt like performing on stage, especially here in New York, has been such a huge part of my career. It helped me find out who I was as an actor beyond Harry Potter.” – Daniel Radcliffe, star of “Merrily We Roll Along,” in an interview.

“This is unbelievable. This is so special. All the collaborators involved in this project, and everyone who contributed to this production, are being recognized for their incredible talent. I’m at a loss for words. Don’t ask me to write a song.” – Alicia Keys in an interview.

Shoutout to my hometown, Queens, NY!” – Camille A. Brown, choreographer for “Hеll’s Kitchen,” in a statement.

“I’m deeply moved and honored to be recognized among these incredible womеn. I had the time of my life in ‘Spamalot.’ I love making people laugh.
