Rachel McAdams receives her first Tony nomination

Rachel McAdams has received her first-ever Tony Award nomination.

The 45-year-old actress made her Broadway debut in the Amy Herzog-created play ‘Mary Jane’, and Rachel has now been nominated for the Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play gong.

Rachel will face stiff competition for the coveted accolade from Betsy Aidem (‘Prayer For The French Republic’), Jessica Lange (‘Mother Play’), Sarah Paulson (‘Appropriate’) and Amy Ryan (‘Doubt A Parable’).

Elsewhere, Daniel Radcliffe is among the nominees for the Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical award.

The 34-year-old actor – who is best known for starring in the ‘Harry Potter’ film franchise – has been nominated for his performance in ‘Merrily We Roll Along’.

The other contenders for the gong include Roger Bart (‘Back to the Future: The Musical’), Joshua Boone (‘The Outsiders’), Brandon Victor Dixon (‘Hell’s Kitchen’), Sky Lakota-Lynch (‘The Outsiders’) and Steven Skybell (‘Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club’).

Eddie Redmayne is another big-name nominee in 2024, as he’s in contention to win the award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical.

The Oscar-winning star has been nominated for his part in ‘Cabaret At The Kit Kat Club’.

Meanwhile, the Best Musical accolade will be won by one of ‘Hell’s Kitchen’, ‘Illinoise’, ‘The Outsiders’, ‘Suffs’ and ‘Water For Elephants’.

What’s more, the Best Play gong will be contested by ‘Jaja’s African Hair Braiding’, Mary Jane’, Mother Play’, ‘Prayer For The French Republic’ and ‘Stereophonic’.

The list of nominees was announced by Tony winners Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Renee Elise Goldsberry, who revealed the names on ‘CBS Mornings’.
