The year's best theater has been identified, and the 2017 Tony nominations have officially been released — the question is, who will follow in Hamilton's mile-wide footsteps?

A year after Lin-Manuel Miranda's groundbreaking show swept up more awards than one man could hope to hold, Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812, Hello, Dolly! and Dear Evan Hansen are top contenders for trophies. The former earned 12 nominations, while the Ben Platt-fronted Evan managed nine.

Kevin Spacey will host the show, which will air June 11 from Radio City Music Hall on CBS. Check out the full list of nominees below.
