Things To Do

For more than 60 years, the Raccoons, a group of volunteers that support MarinHealth, have raised millions of dollars for patient programs, staff education and state-of-the-art medical procedures and facilities.

Now in its third year, the group’s Spring has Sprung Garden Tour will help fund the adolescent behavioral health clinic that’s scheduled to open at the UCSF MarinHealth campus in Greenbrae this month, providing Marin County adolescents accessible, affordable and essential support for mental wellness.

The centerpiece, a self-guided tour of six private Belvedere Island gardens all within walking distance of each other on a flat road, will start from the San Francisco Yacht Club on Tuesday.

This is a timed-entry tour, so tickets will be sold in 15-minute intervals and shuttles will transport patrons to a central jumping-off spot for the gardens.

Local plein air painters Graciela Placak and Deborah Dvorak will create paintings in separate gardens, a UC Marin master gardener will be at each garden to field questions and a plant list for each garden will be available.

One garden is located on the original site of the Belvedere Golf & Country Club — constructed in 1913 — where a representative from the Belvedere-Tiburon Landmarks Society will discuss the home’s historic significance.

“Special highlights include four majestic sycamore trees at the entry and a 100-year-old redwood arbor with Graham Thomas roses, providing an elegant backdrop to the sparkling swimming pool,” Laura Whitlock says.

Film buffs may recognize the second garden on the tour.

“This stunning home was the setting of the party scene for the Academy Award-winning Woody Allen movie ‘Blue Jasmine,’ starring Cate Blanchett, who was ‘best actress’ in 2014,” Whitlock says.

Dubbed the “English Garden,” it’s filled with colorful roses, hydrangeas, impatiens, star jasmine and bougainvillea, and lends itself to easy entertaining.

In the backyard, there are more colorful plants, a “she shed” and a stone fireplace against a backdrop of a gorgeous view of the San Francisco skyline.

At garden three, “A Painter’s Dream,” patrons will see a garden designed to capture the sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco bay.

“Fuchsia-colored blooms of bougainvillea highlight the space combined with an array of native drought-resistant plants,” Whitlock says. “A large fire pit serves as a gathering place for friends to enjoy the majestic skyline.”

The garden of the fourth house is a romantic contemporary with a variety of colorful flowers.

“The serene outdoor space was specifically created as a special place to take in amazing Belvedere Lagoon views while enjoying peaceful privacy,” she says.

The fifth garden complements a newly constructed concrete modern home, built by Jeff Jungsten of Jungsten Construction.

According to Whitlock, “the home has a striking appeal with a secret spot commanding breathtaking bay views from the Golden Gate Bridge to Mount Tamalpais.”

The original landscape was replaced with native plants such as California oak trees, bunch and meadow grasses, lavender and drought- and deer-resistant plants. And an interesting natural filter captures and cleans the water here before it enters the storm drain.

Originally designed in a traditional style, the last garden has been planted with native plants and designed to support the natural ecosystem of Marin’s insects and wildlife and is now a natural bee and butterfly habitat.

The Raccoons seem to add on layers of fun to their garden tours.

For example, they offer a range of parties and experiences. Tickets range from $100 to $150 a person. Sign up and meet new friends at a sunset cruise, a bocce ball happy hour, cocktails in Sonoma, a Belvedere treasure hunt, a French wine tasting, a plein air painting or Italian cooking class.

The raffle includes a variety of prizes, almost all valued at $1,500 or more. One ticket costs $25; a pack of five tickets cost $100.

Among the prizes are a four-person private tour of the Inglenook Chateau, grounds and the Coppola family’s personal movie memorabilia with a large format bottle of Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignon; a vodka tasting experience; a sunset bay cruise for six; a luxury package for Mother’s Day; a collection of gift cards to Tiburon restaurants; a fitness and wellness package; and a three-piece set of chairs and loveseat, along with a fire pit and accessories for the garden.

Anyone — ticketholder or not — is welcome to shop their pop-up boutique at the San Francisco Yacht Club from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday. Vendors include Trina Turk, Ground, Brimroad, Vivo Studios, Nikki Rene, Cob Mark.It, Birds in Paradise, Kate’s Single Batch Toffee, Caitlin Greene, Ashley Ashoff, Classy Bag Lady and Kathy Kamei Designs.

Whitlock shares her tips for making the most of the day.

• Park for free at the tour’s headquarters at the San Francisco Yacht Club at 98 Beach Road in Belvedere.

• “For a guaranteed time slot, it’s best to place your order online by 4 p.m. Monday,” she says. “All other tickets will be sold the day of the tour with no guarantee.” Note: The 10 a.m. time slot has sold-out.

• Shuttles will depart every 10 minutes until the last shuttle at noon.

• “The vans are handicapped-equipped and most of the gardens are accessible, but there are some stairs and hills that could be a challenge,” she says.

• Gardens will close and the last shuttle will return to the yacht club at 2 p.m.

• The tour should take approximately two hours, so wear comfortable shoes.

• “Please leave time to enjoy your lunch and do some shopping,” Whitlock says. “Our boutique of unique vendors is just in time for Mother’s Day and graduation shopping.”

• Details: The third annual Spring has Sprung Garden Tour is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday at the San Francisco Yacht Club at 98 Beach Road in Belvedere. Admission is $145 and includes a boxed salad lunch and a glass of wine on the lawn of the San Francisco Yacht Club. Go to marinhealthraccoons-gardentour.org .

Ultimate guide to Rolling Stones 2024 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale: Tickets, parking

The Rolling Stones will be getting their ya-ya’s out again at State Farm Stadium in Glendale when the Hackney Diamonds Tour hits metro Phoenix on Tuesday, May 7, a day the city has proclaimed shall temporarily be known as Ruby Tuesday .

This is the Stones’ third time at State Farm Stadium, where they last played in 2019 on their final tour with Charlie Watts, who left this world on Aug. 24, 2021.

The Hackney Diamond Tour is in support of their first album of original material in nearly 20 years, which topped the Billboard album charts in late October while leading many critics to proclaim it their best work since “Tattoo You” in 1981 (and whether you agree with that or not, it’s certainly a strong contender for the title).

Glendale is the third stop on the Rolling Stones 2024 tour. Here’s everything you need to know before you go.

When is the Rolling Stones 2024 State Farm Stadium concert?

The Rolling Stones will play State Farm Stadium in Glendale on Tuesday, May 7.

Here's the timetable:

• Parking lots open at 4 p.m.

When does State Farm Stadium open for concerts?

Doors open at 6 p.m. Fans are encouraged to show up as early as possible to avoid potential delays at the gates as you get closer to show time. The concert starts at 8 p.m.

Where is State Farm Stadium?

State Farm Stadium is off Loop 101 between Cardinals Way/Bethany Home Road and Glendale Avenue in the Glendale Sports and Entertainment District. 

The street address is 1 Cardinals Way, and typing "State Farm Stadium" into your phone will yield the same result, which may not be as helpful as you think.

In fact, fans are encouraged to avoid their favorite apps when approaching the stadium, as they do not take into account special road closures, traffic patterns and access routes allocated to specific carparks. Using these apps could result in a longer commute.

The stadium website encourages ticketholders to use the directions on the parking pass purchased at SeatGeek.com , as this accounts for road closures and event-specific diversions.

Who are the jockeys for the Kentucky Derby? Meet 2024 racers, horses

For every jockey, to win the Kentucky Derby is to fulfill a lifelong dream.

There's a good chance it'll be a first-timer doing so Saturday in 150th Run for the Roses at Churchill Downs .

Of the 20-horse field, 16 will be ridden by men who have never won the world's most iconic race.

Start the day smarter. Get all the news you need in your inbox each morning.

Four are making their Derby debuts; while the 12 others are hoping for better luck this go-around.

Luis Saez is looking to end the longest drought, 0 for 10, and rectify being the first, and only, jockey disqualified for interference after crossing the finish line first in 2019. Jesus Castanon is back in the field for the first time since coming in fourth aboard Shackleford in 2011 — his first, and only other, start. Kazushi Kimura is out to prove he's better than his 12th-place finish aboard Mandarin Hero last year.

Then, there are the four past champions. The stakes are high for three in particular.

Florent Geroux and Flavien Prat' s lone victories came by disqualification; while Hall of Famer John Velazquez is on the hunt for Derby immortality after being denied a seat at the table three years ago.

Planning on factoring a jockey into your Derby bets? Here's a look at the lineup:

Junior Alvarado

Kentucky Derby horse: Resilience

Making his fifth Derby start, and his first in consecutive years since 2018-19, Junior Alvarado has not reached the winner's circle or finished on the board in the Run for the Roses. The 37-year-old Venezuelan's best performance to date came in 2016, when he placed fourth aboard Mohaymen. Alvarado and Resilience trainer Bill Mott finished ninth in Derby 149 with Rocket Can. After one day of Churchill's Spring Meet, he had 37 wins and 104 top-three finishes across 246 starts this year.

Keith Asmussen

Kentucky Derby horse: Just Steel

Keith Asmussen has quite the pedigree. The 25-year-old Texas graduate is the son of Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen and the nephew of Eclipse Award-winning jockey Cash Asmussen. If he wins Saturday, he will be only the 29th rider to do so in their Derby debut. It'll also be just the second stakes victory of his young career. As of Monday, Asmussen had won 53 of his 332 starts this year and finished on the board 147 times. What does he like to do for fun? Watch race replays.

Adam Beschizza

Kentucky Derby horse: Epic Ride

Adam Beschizza 's second Derby start is the byproduct of Encino's scratch Tuesday. This will be the 32-year-old Englishman's first time participating in the Run for the Roses on the first Saturday in May. He finished seventh, aboard Enforceable, in Derby 146; which the COVID-19 pandemic pushed back to Sept. 5, 2020. As of Tuesday, Beschizza had won 28 of his 173 starts in 2024 and finished on the board 74 times. He and Epic Ride are 2-2-1 across five starts together.

Jesus Castanon

Kentucky Derby horse: West Saratoga

Castanon, 51, has made more than 20,000 career starts. This will be the Mexico City native's second in the Derby. After finishing fourth in 2011, Castanon and Shackleford won the Preakness Stakes and placed second by 4 lengths in the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile at Churchill. As of Monday, he had 18 stakes victories to his name — but only two since 2014 — and had reached the winner's circle 15 times across 125 starts this year. His wife, Roly, trains horses after being an Eclipse Award finalist for top apprentice jockey in 1999.

Kentucky Derby horse: Honor Marie

Ben Curtis earned his first Derby start after moving to the United States before Fair Grounds Race Course's 2023-24 meet. As of Monday, the 34-year-old Irishman had won 44 of his 274 races on North American soil and finished on the board 102 times. His only trip aboard Honor Marie to date was a second-place finish in the Grade 2 Louisiana Derby in March. Curtis was named Ireland’s top apprentice jockey in 2010 and spent a decade racing in England.

Frankie Dettori

Kentucky Derby horse: Society Man

Initially, Frankie Dettori planned to retire in 2023. The 53-year-old Italian had a change of heart last fall, however. Now, he's back in the Derby for the first time since 2000; when he finished sixth aboard China Visit. A four-time recipient of the Longines World's Best Jockey award, Dettori has amassed more than 3,300 wins in Europe and, in November, picked up his 15th victory in the Breeders’ Cup. As of Monday, he had won 37 of his 190 starts this year and finished on the board 103 times. Derby 150 will be Dettori's first time jockeying Society Man.

Antonio Fresu

Kentucky Derby horse: Stronghold

Antonio Fresu has been on a tear since joining the North American racing scene last year after a stint in Dubai. The 32-year-old from Italy has racked up 10 stakes wins and enters his first Run for the Roses fresh off Stronghold's victory by a neck in last month's Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby. In February, he and the Philip D'Amato-trained horse won the Grade 3 Sunland Park Derby. Fresu as of Monday had reached the winner's circle 46 times this year and finished on the board in 131 of his 275 starts.

Tyler Gaffalione

Kentucky Derby horse: Sierra Leone

One year after riding Pretty Mischievous to victory in the Kentucky Oaks, Tyler Gaffalione will try to end an 0-for-6 Derby drought aboard points leader Sierra Leone. The 29-year-old Davie, Florida, native's best finish in the race came in 2019, when he placed seventh with War of Will. A couple of weeks later, the duo won the Preakness. Entering Churchill's Spring Meet, Gaffalione ranked among the 10 winningest jockeys in North America this year. He earned his 11th career leading-rider title at the Louisville track during last year's Fall Meet.

Florent Geroux

Kentucky Derby horse: Just a Touch

Geroux, 37, waited nearly a year to be crowned the winner of Derby 147 after Medina Spirit's disqualification . Entering the 150th Run for the Roses, the Frenchman is 1-2-0 aboard the lightly raced Just a Touch; who finished 1 ½ lengths behind Sierra Leone in the Grade 1 Blue Grass Stakes on April 6 at Keeneland. An eight-time Breeders' Cup champion, Geroux as of Monday had won 38 of his 166 starts and boasted a 59% win-place-show rate this year.

Brian Hernandez Jr.

Kentucky Derby horse: Mystik Dan

Brian Hernandez Jr. has finished no better than eighth in the Derby. Last year, he placed 11th aboard Sun Thunder in his fourth Run for the Roses start. A 38-year-old Louisiana native, Hernandez received the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Apprentice Jockey in 2004. His top win to date came in the 2012 Breeders' Cup Classic, and he has also placed third in the Preakness. This year, he had won 44 of his 254 starts as of Monday and finished on the board 106 times.

Emisael Jaramillo

Kentucky Derby horse: Grand Mo the First

Emisael Jaramillo , 47, returns to the Derby for the first time since his 18th-place finish in 2016. The Venezuelan has become a mainstay of Gulfstream Park, where he and Grand Mo the First placed third in the Grade 1 Florida Derby in March. He was the leading rider in his home country, winning its Triple Crown three times, before moving to the United States in 2015. Jaramillo as of Monday had 38 victories and 99 on-the-board finishes this year.

Kazushi Kimura

Kentucky Derby horse: T O Password

Kimura has been one of the top riders at Woodbine Racetrack since emigrating to Canada from Japan in 2018. Entering his second Derby, the 24-year-old is coming off a year in which he finished among the 20 winningest jockeys in North America. As of Monday, he had 848 victories across 4,938 career starts. A two-time recipient of the Sovereign Award, given to Canada's most outstanding rider, Kimura had an 11% win rate and finished on the board in 68 of his 176 starts thus far in 2024.

Irad Ortiz Jr.

Kentucky Derby horse: Domestic Product

Irad Ortiz Jr. , the winningest North American jockey for seven years running, is still vying for his first Derby victory. The 31-year-old Puerto Rican is 0 for 7 in the Run for the Roses. His best finish came in 2019, when he placed fourth aboard Improbable. Breaking through with Domestic Product would further Ortiz's dominant run of late. He has won back-to-back Eclipse Awards for Outstanding Jockey and finished on the board in more than half of his 2024 starts. As of Monday, he led all North American riders with 114 victories this year.

Kentucky Derby horse: Catalytic

Owning the second-longest Derby drought in the field (0 for 8), Jose Ortiz most recently placed 14th in last year's Run for the Roses aboard Kingsbarns. His best trip to date was a second-place finish with Good Magic in 2018. Reaching the winner's circle with Catalytic would complete a personal Triple Crown for the 30-year-old Puerto Rican, who is Irad Ortiz Jr.'s younger brother. This is the fourth year in a row they are competing against each other in the Derby. As of Monday, the younger Ortiz ranked second among North American jockeys with 102 victories across 480 starts in 2024.

Flavien Prat

Kentucky Derby horse: Catching Freedom

Prat, like Geroux, is still chasing his first true Derby win in what will be his seventh (and fourth consecutive) start. The 31-year-old Frenchman and Country House were the beneficiaries of Saez's disqualification in 2019. For the past three years, Prat has placed no worse than third in the Run for the Roses and has ranked among the five top-grossing jockeys in North America. He also has a Preakness win, in 2021, on his resume. As of Monday, he had won 62 of his 255 starts in 2024, including the Grade 2 Louisiana Derby with Catching Freedom, and finished on the board 135 times.

Umberto Rispoli

Kentucky Derby horse: Endlessly

Umberto Rispoli 's first, and only other, Derby appearance came in 2021, when he finished 14th aboard Brooklyn Strong. He and Endlessly arrived at Churchill on a hot streak; having won the Grade 3 Jeff Ruby Steaks at Turfway and the El Camino Real Derby at Golden Gate in back-to-back starts. As of Monday, the 35-year-old Italian had notched 33 victories across 169 races in 2024 and finished on the board 84 times. Before his move to the United States, his career has spanned stints in 10 destinations; including his home country, France and Hong Kong.

Joel Rosario

Kentucky Derby horse: Track Phantom

Joel Rosario , who in April was elected to horse racing's Hall of Fame, is one of only two jockeys in the Derby 150 field with a true victory. His came in 2013 aboard Orb. Since then, the 39-year-old Dominican has finished in the money only once — in 2022 with Epicenter, who came in second — across eight starts. Last year, he and Disarm placed fourth. The Preakness is the last box Rosario must check to earn a personal Triple Crown.; which would look nice next to his more than 3,600 career wins and more than $318 million in career earnings. Across 224 starts this year as of Monday, he had 46 victories and 108 on-the-board finishes.

Kentucky Derby horse: Dornoch

Saez knows the feeling of crossing the finish line first in the Run for the Roses. The 31-year-old from Panama also knows what it's like to have that feeling taken away. Two years after his disqualification aboard Maximum Security, he had his best finish in the race, third, with Essential Quality. Since then, he's placed 17th aboard Charge It and seventh with Tapit Trice. Across Saez's 10 Derby starts, he's finished seventh or better only three times. He's trying to make 2024 his sixth year in a row ranking among North America's top five winningest jockeys.

Ryusei Sakai

Kentucky Derby horse: Forever Young

Ryusei Sakai was slated to make his Derby debut last year, but his horse, Continuar, was withdrawn two days before the race. The 26-year-old from Japan got his start as an apprentice in South Australia, where he rode in the Caulfield Cup. His first Group 1 win came two years ago, in his home country's Shuka Sho Stakes. Aboard Forever Young, Sakai emerged victorious in this year's Group 2 UAE Derby. He and Kimura are vying to deliver Japan its first win in the Run for the Roses.

Kentucky Derby horse: Fierceness

Velazquez will try to further cement his legacy at Derby 150 by becoming only the fourth jockey to win the race four or more times. The 52-year-old Puerto Rican would be eyeing a record-tying fifth victory in the Run for the Roses had Medina Spirit not been disqualified in 2021; but his resume is one of the best, if not the best, in this year's crop of riders. Last year, he completed a personal Triple Crown by winning the Preakness aboard National Treasure.

Here’s what to know about the nominations.

A semi-autobiographical Alicia Keys musical and a play about a group of musicians struggling to record an album each got 13 Tony nominations on Tuesday, tying for the most nods in a packed Broadway season when shows need all the help they can get.

The musical, “Hell’s Kitchen,” features some of Keys’s biggest hits as well as new songs by her. The play, “Stereophonic,” David Adjmi’s exploration of creativity and conflict inside a recording studio, is now the most-nominated play in Tony Awards history, besting a record set in 2021 by “Slave Play,” which had 12 nominations.

A star-studded production of “Merrily We Roll Along” that turned a storied Stephen Sondheim flop into one of the season’s biggest hits is favored to win the musical revival category. But it faces several other big revivals, including a lavish production of “Cabaret” starring Eddie Redmayne that got the most nominations of any show in the category, as well as a rollicking revival of “The Who’s Tommy” and a now-closed production of “Gutenberg! The Musical!” that found success with two appealing co-stars.

The two most nominated shows, “Hell’s Kitchen” and “Stereophonic,” opened 24 hours apart less than two weeks ago.

“Stereophonic,” which features songs by Will Butler, formerly of Arcade Fire, had an initial run last fall at the Off Broadway nonprofit Playwrights Horizons. It succeeded despite a three-hour running time and no high-wattage celebrities — powered by strong reviews and word-of-mouth.

“I’m just gobsmacked,” said Adjmi, a longtime downtown playwright whose work has never before made it to Broadway. “I started this play 11 years ago and didn’t know if it would ever even be produced — it was impractical and wildly demanding on every level and I just made it from a place of passion and obsession. To be rewarded at a platform like this is so mind-bogglingly incredible I don’t have words.”

“Hell’s Kitchen,” which had an Off Broadway run starting last fall at the nonprofit Public Theater, is about a 17-year-old girl growing up in Manhattan and struggling to navigate first love, a hunger for independence and a tense relationship with a well-intentioned but overprotective single mother.

“I’m definitely in a deep state of freaking out, in a really great, awesome, grateful way,” said Keys, whose challenges as an adolescent in the 1990s shaped the plot of “Hell’s Kitchen.” “I have felt so connected to the mission of this story. I always felt that there was a purpose, there’s a reason, there’s something important about the story.”

The nominations come at a challenging time for Broadway. Theaters are packed with shows — 36 Tony-eligible shows opened this season, including an unusually large slate of 15 new musicals. But the costs of production have skyrocketed while the number of ticket buyers has fallen since the pandemic.

Here are some other highlights of the nominations:

Daniel Radcliffe finally broke whatever spell had impeded him from getting nominated for a Tony Award. The actor, beloved for his portrayal of Harry Potter in all eight films, has been overlooked by nominators during four previous Broadway outings, but on Tuesday he was recognized for his work in “Merrily We Roll Along.”

“Hell’s Kitchen” now heads into a race for the best musical prize that is unusually competitive , because none of the contenders has broken out as a consensus favorite at the box office or among critics. Just behind “Hell’s Kitchen” in the nominations derby is “The Outsiders,” a musical adaptation of S.E. Hinton’s classic young adult novel, which received 12 nods. The other nominees are “Illinoise,” a narrative dance telling a story of self-discovery, with songs from Sufjan Stevens; “Suffs,” a look at the women’s suffrage movement in the United States; and “Water for Elephants,” based on the novel about a circus romance.

“Stereophonic” appears to be the favorite in the best play race, but is up against four strong competitors: “Jaja’s African Hair Braiding,” “Mary Jane,” “Mother Play” and “Prayer for the French Republic.”

Notably, three of the nominated plays (“Jaja’s,” “Mary Jane” and “Prayer”) were produced on Broadway by a single nonprofit organization, the Manhattan Theater Club , and two of the nominated musicals (“Hell’s Kitchen” and “Suffs”) began at the Public Theater.

Among the screen stars who picked up Tony nods, in addition to Radcliffe and Redmayne, are Jessica Lange, Jim Parsons, Rachel McAdams, Sarah Paulson, Jeremy Strong, Liev Schreiber, Leslie Odom Jr. and Amy Ryan.

The nominations were chosen by a group of 44 people with theatrical expertise (many of them are artists or arts administrators) but no financial stake in the eligible shows. There were originally 60 in the group, but since they are required to see all 36 eligible shows, their number dwindled as some missed shows or developed conflicts of interest.

The Tony Awards, which are presented by the Broadway League and the American Theater Wing, will be presented on June 16. The ceremony is to take place at Lincoln Center, hosted by Ariana DeBose, and broadcast on CBS.

Here’s what we know about the Tony Awards ceremony.

Now that we know who the Tony nominees are, the awards season begins in earnest.

So what happens next?

Over the next six-plus weeks, the nominees will be celebrating and campaigning.

On Thursday, they will assemble at a Midtown hotel to meet the press — a traditional post-nominations ritual at which they pose for photos, sit for interviews and get their official I’m-a-Tony-nominee pins.

Then come a string of other ceremonies (among them, the Drama League , Drama Critics’ Circle , Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle awards ), nonprofit galas (where nominees can mingle with, or perform in front of, Tony voters), and an annual luncheon at the Rainbow Room.

The Tony Awards ceremony this year is scheduled to take place on June 16 at Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater (home to the New York City Ballet). The televised portion of the ceremony is to air on CBS from 8 to 11 p.m. Eastern, and to stream on Paramount+; there will be a preshow at which some awards are handed out that will stream on Pluto TV.

Ariana DeBose will host, for a third year in a row. She’s an Oscar winner for “West Side Story,” and has performed in six Broadway musicals; she was a 2018 Tony nominee for “Summer.”

What’s up next on Broadway? Plenty.

Broadway is pretty packed right now — there are 35 shows currently running, so there’s not a lot of room for more until some of those close (as a few of them, inevitably, will do following Tony nomination or award disappointments).

But there are a handful of new shows, and a concert stand, expected to open on Broadway between now and Labor Day.

First up: A revival of “Home,” a three-character play by Samm-Art Williams, is scheduled to begin previews May 17 and to open June 5 at the recently renamed Todd Haimes Theater. This production is to feature Tory Kittles, Brittany Inge and Stori Ayers; it is being directed by Kenny Leon and produced by the nonprofit Roundabout Theater Company.

“Home,” initially staged by the Negro Ensemble Company, first arrived on Broadway in 1980; it is a coming-of-age story about a young man from North Carolina.

Next: Ben Platt, who won a Tony Award for originating the title role in “Dear Evan Hansen,” will be playing an 18-performance concert residency to reopen the Palace Theater, which has been closed for six years for a construction project. Platt’s show is scheduled to run from May 28 to June 15.

“Oh, Mary!,” a madcap comedy from the alt-cabaret performer Cole Escola, is scheduled to begin performances June 26 and to open July 11 at the Lyceum Theater. The show, a historical fantasia about the former first lady Mary Todd Lincoln, has been playing to sold-out houses at Off Broadway’s Lucille Lortel Theater since January.

A very different style comedy, “Forbidden Broadway on Broadway: Merrily We Stole a Song,” had announced plans for a summer run, but decided to indefinitely postpone its run , citing Broadway's crowded landscape.

Still, there are likely to be at least one or two other new shows on Broadway this summer. There has been talk of a possible transfer of a City Center production of “Once Upon a Mattress,” starring Sutton Foster. And a play called “The Roommate,” starring Mia Farrow and Patti LuPone, is expected to start performances this summer in anticipation of a post-Labor Day opening.

Alicia Keys on ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ nods: I’m in ‘a deep state of freaking out.’

Alicia Keys has been working on “Hell’s Kitchen” for 13 years, so she found it serendipitous — in addition to thrilling — that on Tuesday morning her musical picked up 13 Tony nominations.

In an interview shortly after the nominations were announced, Keys was clearly heartened by the news. The show, featuring her songs and a book by Kristoffer Diaz, is personal for Keys . The show is about a 17-year-old girl whose life circumstances have enormous echoes of Keys’s own upbringing — the single mother, the hunger for independence, the passion for piano, even the same subsidized housing development.

These are edited excerpts from the conversation.

Congratulations! What do you make of this?

Whoa! I’m definitely in a deep state of freaking out in a really great, awesome, grateful way. I don’t know what’s happening to me — I’m a songwriter and I can’t put my words together, but I feel unbelievable. I’m so excited for everybody to be recognized.

Did you ever have any doubts, or were you always confident about this one?

I’ve always felt really good about it, and I know that we’ve put the work and the time into it, and so I do feel a sense of strength and joy around it, but you just never know how people receive things. You never know how it all goes. And ultimately you can’t create with that in mind — you have to create with your mission in mind.

Do you really burn palo santo around the theater?

Absolutely! Every crevice, every backstage place, every dressing room, on the stage itself, in the theater, in the seats. Just creating that good energy.

Is it hard to watch people perform scenes that echo painful chapters in your own life?

It is painful and it is thrilling and it is emotional and it is honest. When Kecia Lewis sings “Perfect Way to Die” at the end of the first act, I don’t care how many times I see that, it touches me powerfully and poignantly every time. It is painful, but it’s also triumphant, you know?

What is it like for you to see your songs in a totally different context?

That is the part that I find to be the most curious and the most fascinating is how songs can continue to evolve even to its composer. There is something so special about that. When people leave the theater, they say, “I never heard those songs like that before.” And neither have I! There’s something really tremendous about just how it’s taken on a life of its own.

I know you want this show to run as long as possible. What are the tasks ahead for you?

Yes, that is the goal. I do have many dreams and many manifestations to be on the level of longevity of some of the greatest pieces of theater that have ever existed. That would be such a deep honor. And so we’re just going to keep working and keep loving, keep believing. And you know, the rest is up to whatever divine choice is meant for this.

So many shows only just opened. How did the nominations happen so quickly?

Of the 36 Tony-eligible shows on Broadway this season, 12 only just opened — during a frenetic nine-day period that wrapped up on April 25.

So how is it possible that the season’s Tony nominations are already being announced?

Broadway’s openings are always clustered around the Tony eligibility deadline — which this year was April 25 — because producers believe that Tony nominators and voters will remember most clearly, and hopefully fondly, the shows they saw most recently. (A similar phenomenon occurs in Hollywood, where many films open close to the deadline to qualify for the Oscars.)

The Tony nominators are required to see every show before they vote, and this year they voted on April 29. That meant they had to see a lot of shows in a short period of time — many of them set aside much of the second half of April for theatergoing. But with careful planning it can be done — in fact, it happens every year — because the nominators, like theater critics, are invited to see shows in preview performances starting a few days before the official opening, and can come to any performance after that, free of charge. Generally they have at least eight opportunities to see a show before they vote.

And who are the nominators? They are artists and arts administrators who are knowledgeable about theater but do not have a financial relationship to any Tony-eligible show. This year’s committee started with 60 members, but, as happens each year, several had to recuse themselves because they missed a show or developed a conflict of interest, so in the end 44 members of the committee wound up voting on this year’s nominations.

Jessica Lange, nominated for ‘Mother Play,’ wanted to create a new role.

Jessica Lange’s previous Broadway outings have all been in classics: Tennessee Williams’s “A Streetcar Named Desire” and “The Glass Menagerie,” and Eugene O’Neill’s “Long Day’s Journey Into Night,” for which she won a Tony Award in 2016.

This time, though, Lange is creating a role: Phyllis Herman, the title character in Paula Vogel’s Tony-nominated “Mother Play,” whose entire cast — which also includes Celia Keenan-Bolger and Jim Parsons — received Tony nods.

On Tuesday morning, Lange, 75, spoke by phone about her nomination. These are edited excerpts from that conversation.

Congratulations. How are you feeling?

What made me the very happiest of all news this morning was that the three of us were all nominated. Each part is integral to the whole, and to separate out would have been inconceivable.

Why did you say yes to playing Phyllis?

It came down to wanting to do a new play, which I’ve never done before. I’ve done the great kind of classics from the American canon. I didn’t quite know the process of working on a new play. I wanted to understand having a living playwright in the room with you, working and changing things and adapting. It’s a brand-new play. No one has ever seen it before. The character has not been played by a dozen other actresses in history.

When I look at your Broadway roles — Blanche DuBois, Amanda Wingfield, Mary Tyrone and now Phyllis — I see them belonging to a kind of lineage.

You could definitely draw a line from one to another. They have this profound disappointment and profound loneliness. Those are the things that, in the roles that I’ve been drawn to onstage, have really appealed to me. Like Mary Tyrone, which is the favorite role I’ve ever played, and would continue playing for the rest of my life if I could. [Laughs.] You can kind of trace that lineage through all four characters of some great, profound disappointment, and also some profound misjudgment. You know, that moment where you do something that you then regret for the rest of your life, and that follows you and haunts you.

You are playing a character based on a real person who was your playwright ’ s mother. Did that affect your approach?

Actually it didn’t, because I was not interested in doing some kind of historical representation, and I don’t think that was what Paula had in mind.

You have a stunner of a solo scene that ’ s long and quiet and almost wordless: Phyllis at home, engaged in the mundane tasks of a lonely life.

And counting the time until she can have her first drink. She has obviously set some kind of schedule that she won’t have her first drink before 7 o’clock or whatever it is. So it’s filling up that time. But even with the first drink, it’s not a balm. That is one of the most interesting scenes, I find. You read about this, that loneliness is epidemic in this country. I think it’s much more universal than we’re aware of. So to investigate that I found really fascinating: a woman coming home from work, she’s estranged from her children, her family is gone. What do you do to fill the hours before you can go to sleep and start yet another day?

You have a Tony for “Long Day ’ s Journey.” You have two Oscars. You have three Emmys. Do awards matter?

I’m not going to pretend that it’s meaningless, because it’s not. The people in your community, your peers or whatever, look at your work and say, “Yes, that was good work.” I mean, I’ve had enough that they haven’t acknowledged. [Laughs.] So when it’s acknowledged, I’m thrilled.

Leslie Odom Jr. on his Tony nomination for ‘Purlie Victorious.’

To land the role of Aaron Burr in a new musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda called “Hamilton,” Leslie Odom Jr. had to go on a campaign of persuasion , imploring the show’s director over and over to cast him as the protagonist’s foil.

After the whirlwind of success that was “Hamilton,” Odom was the one making the choices for what was next.

For his return to Broadway, he decided on a revival of Ossie Davis’s 1961 play “Purlie Victorious,” an uproarious comedy about a Black preacher from Georgia. The original iteration of the play, about all that America has stolen from its Black citizens, had counted the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. among its audience members . It had not been staged on Broadway since the Civil Rights Movement.

On Tuesday, Odom, 42 — who won a Tony in 2016 for his performance as Burr — received his second Tony nomination for his role as Purlie. He shared his delight over the phone from Philadelphia, where he learned the news in a hotel lobby as he struggled to find the livestream of the announcement on his phone. Here are edited excerpts from the conversation.

I’m sure after “Hamilton” you had plenty of choices for what to do next. Why “Purlie”?

Simply, I was looking for something harder than the challenge Lin had given us. Lin had given us the biggest challenge onstage that any of us had ever had before and after you climb a mountain like that there was a desire to keep climbing.

We’ve been dreaming about “Purlie” on Broadway and trying to get it on Broadway for years, so the fact that we made it, the fact that it did so well and connected with people in the way that it did, and then to have a morning like this, it’s just a feeling that I can’t quite describe. Certainly it’s harder to describe before I’ve had my coffee.

How was the challenge of “Purlie” different than the challenge of playing Burr, which included singing and dancing on top of the acting?

The amount of text — I had never taken on a challenge like that. The physical and emotional demands of it. There was also taking on the challenge of joining the producing team. Wearing both those hats — starring in the play and producing it — was something I had never done before. And this was a play that hadn’t been done in 62 years. There are some shows that we, for whatever reason, get real used to seeing every five or six years. “Purlie Victorious” has not been one of those shows, and so it was, in some ways, a new play for lots of people. It had a fair amount of challenges to it, and certainly more than I had when Lin-Manuel gave me the role of a lifetime and asked me to stand onstage eight shows a week and sing that music.

Are you looking for any particular challenges at this stage in your career? What’s something you haven’t done that you want to try?

There is. I don’t know if there’s anything I want to tell The [New York] Times about. You know, it was one of these kind of interviews after I won a Tony in 2016 — somebody said, “Is there any show that you want to revive?” and I said “Purlie.” So I’ve got to be careful what I wish for, is what I have learned.

Alexis Soloski

Jeremy Strong on his nomination and a role in ‘Enemy’ that felt ‘undeniable.’

Jeremy Strong’s best actor nomination for his starring role in the widely praised “An Enemy of the People” could not have come as a surprise. But it did. “It’s always a surprise, actually,” he said. “And the Tonys have always represented the highest accolade to me, the Holy Grail. So it’s incredibly gratifying.”

Strong, a star of the HBO phenomenon “Succession,” spent his early career in the theater. After a break of more than a decade, he returned in Amy Herzog’s adaptation of the Ibsen drama, directed by Sam Gold. Strong plays Dr. Thomas Stockmann, a man who discovers that his town’s beloved spa is dangerously polluted and a vector of infection. When Stockmann speaks his truth, the townspeople turn on him.

Having spent so many years away from the stage, Strong did not know if he would have the strength to carry the play. But he couldn’t deny the role and the environmental themes it explored. “It felt necessary,” he said. “The play felt like a summons.” And he feels that his time in film and television has influenced his stage acting.

“Maybe what I’ve been doing over the last 10 years has helped prepare me to try to be free up there,” he said.

Reached on the morning of the Tony nominations, Strong described playing the role as like “walking the plank,” “summiting Everest” and “walking a beautiful tightrope over an abyss.” These are edited excerpts from the conversation.

Why did you choose this play for your return to theater?

It’s a play that speaks urgently to now. It’s a play about a man attempting to wake people up to an imminent ecological catastrophe and warn them of the steep and perilous cost of their inaction. And Amy Herzog and Sam Gold are people who I love deeply and have absolute faith in. So it just felt undeniable.

Dr. Stockmann is someone who speaks truth to power and then suffers the consequences. How close do you feel to the character?

The truth that Stockmann is fighting for is a much larger and more important truth than whatever my personal truth as an actor is. But I have to summon all the courage I have just to walk out there every day. Most of what’s in this character, it’s something that I’ve had to find through the play. There’s any number of things that fill me up and fire my imagination and my heart and passion, the climate crisis being first and foremost, and all of these incredibly brave, courageous scientists and activists who are putting themselves on the line to wake up our civilization.

During one of the press nights, the production was interrupted by climate change protesters . How did it feel to have the real intrude on the play?

It was difficult. But those people echoed and amplified the message of the play. While there was a slight wobble for me, ultimately it was quite easy to embrace what they were saying and to exhort them to continue. I was like, [expletive] it, they’re right. And I would be a hypocrite to try and silence people advocating for scientific truth. In retrospect, it was a gift, because it underlined what the play is about.

Daniel Radcliffe on breaking the spell with his first Tony nomination.

Daniel Radcliffe caught the first batch of Tony nominations during the announcement at 8:30 a.m. He texted congratulations to his “ Merrily We Roll Along ” co-star Jonathan Groff, who was nominated for best actor in a musical.

But then dad duty called before his own category, featured actor in a musical, was announced at 9:00.

“I was in the middle of doing breakfast and trying to put my son down for his morning nap, so I got a text from a member of the cast letting me know I was nominated,” said the actor, 34, who stars as the lyricist and playwright Charley Kringas in the acclaimed revival of the 1981 Stephen Sondheim-George Furth musical, “Merrily We Roll Along.”

Radcliffe’s Tony nomination — for his fifth Broadway role since his 2008 debut in “Equus” — is the first of his career. And it’s extra special, he said in a phone conversation from his New York apartment on Tuesday, because not only Groff, but his other “Merrily” co-star, Lindsay Mendez, was also nominated, for featured actress.

“People in your line of work probably get bored of actors talking about how much they love each other, how much they enjoy working with each other,” said Radcliffe, who is best known for playing Harry Potter onscreen. “And we do say it a lot, but this group is really awesome — Lindsay, Jonathan, the whole cast. I feel so lucky.”

You recently were the ring bearer at Lindsay’s wedding , for which Jonathan served as the officiant. How did that come about?

It’s what I do in the show — when Jonathan and Katie Rose Clarke are getting married, I’m the ring bearer. So we were in Lindsay’s dressing room on the Saturday or Sunday before she got married, and she just offhandedly was like, “Would you be the ring bearer?” We found that funny. So I did! But also I suddenly went from going to a wedding with zero responsibilities to going and having to not screw something up; to not drop the rings and suddenly have them flying around Central Park! But it was fine.

All three of you have been with the show since its Off Broadway run in 2022. How has your performance grown and changed?

When we first met, we were getting on really well, but we were still getting to know each other, so we were having to act the friendship more. And now so much of it is just there. That’s not a feeling you get all the time as an actor. It’s rare, and I feel very lucky that I just have to look into Jonathan’s eyes or Lindsay’s eyes and get everything I need to get through whatever moment we’re doing.

What initially attracted you to the “Merrily” role?

When I saw this production in London, I had the reaction of going, “Oh, I’m really right for this part.” I could hear my voice in the character pretty early on. I love musical theater, but it’s not something I’ve done my whole life the way Jonathan and Lindsay have, so the vocal aspects and the musical aspects are the stuff I’ve really enjoyed, especially when the music is as incredible as Sondheim’s. “ Franklin Shepard ” in particular was pretty challenging to learn initially. But now that it’s in me, it’s incredibly fun.

There’s no challenge in musical theater like a Sondheim patter song.

The first few times I was doing it, it was genuinely terrifying. The one time Off Broadway where it kind of went wrong was one of the most terrifying things that’s ever happened to me onstage.

What happened?

I got ahead of the band by like half a beat, so I was out of sync with them for — it felt like 30 seconds, but it was probably less. Thankfully there are enough musical things happening in that song that I recognized one of them and was able to reorient myself.

Who is the person you’ve been most nervous to have come see the show?

Meryl Streep was in the audience one night, and I was very thrilled to find that out after the show was finished.

“Merrily” closes July 7. What’s next for you?

I’m going to take some time off and just be a dad for a while, which I’m very, very excited about.

Tony nominations snubs and surprises: Steve Carell and ‘The Wiz’ miss out

The day of the Tony Award nominations is like college acceptance day a bit earlier in the spring, but on the scarcity model: Of the dozens of artists eligible in each category, only five or so are “admitted.” That means some great work gets left by the wayside — but also, because the number of nominators is small enough to be idiosyncratic, that plenty of outcomes defy all prediction. Here are our thoughts on this season’s inadvertent (and possibly advertent) snubs, delightful (or mystifying) surprises and other notable anomalies.

A melancholy morning for ‘Vanya.’

Television stars are considered good box office but not always good Tony bait. This year’s crop, including Sarah Paulson, Jeremy Strong, Steve Carell and William Jackson Harper, complicates that wisdom. Paulson is a likely winner but the men are already canceling each other out. Though Carell, in his Broadway debut, and Harper both play characters competing for the love of a married woman in the Lincoln Center Theater revival of “Uncle Vanya,” only Harper, excellent in a role that is usually considered supporting, was nominated as best leading actor in a play. (The production, which featured many lovely performances, was otherwise shut out.) Note that Chekhov let neither man win.

Deep cuts for ‘Stereophonic.’

How the nominators handled the ensemble in David Adjmi’s recording-studio-set play was going to be one of the morning’s most interesting questions. The answer: Generously, as five members of the young cast were singled out for their supporting performances, including Tom Pecinka and Sarah Pidgeon as the fraying central couple, and Juliana Canfield and Will Brill as their bandmates. Without an instrument in hand, Eli Gelb got in, too, as the ’70s rock group’s frazzled sound engineer. Spreading all that love helped take the show to Number One with a Bullet — the most nominated play in Broadway history.

Too many riches to go around.

On the other hand, the superb ensemble casts of “Jaja’s African Hair Braiding” and “Illinoise” were skunked. That’s no accident: As more works these days distribute the storytelling burden equally among many members of a cast, odd nomination outcomes — feast or famine — can result.

That’s why we often argue here for a new category that honors ensembles. And Actors’ Equity, the national union representing actors and stage managers, goes further, with its annual award for Broadway choruses. Of the 23 musicals that opened this season, 21 are eligible; the winner will be notified on June 15 — pointedly, one day before the Tonys.

Women lead in directing.

In the history of the awards, only 10 women, beginning in 1998, have won prizes for directing. This year that number seems likely to rise, with seven of the 10 possible directing slots filled by women. Anne Kauffman, Lila Neugebauer and Whitney White have been nominated for best direction of a play, and Maria Friedman, Leigh Silverman, Jessica Stone and Danya Taymor (the niece of Julie Taymor, the first woman to win for direction of a musical) are in contention for best direction of a musical.

To love, honor and ignore.

The Tony nominating committee said “I do” to two pairs of actors playing married characters: Brian d’Arcy James and Kelli O’Hara as lovers undone by alcoholism in “Days of Wine and Roses,” and Maryann Plunkett and Dorian Harewood as an older couple grappling with dementia in “The Notebook.” But the shows did not receive the same love. Neither was nominated for best musical, though “Days of Wine and Roses” did pick up a nomination for score and “The Notebook” for book. Guess you can’t always have your wedding cake, and eat it too.

A warm Willkommen to ‘Cabaret.’

Rebecca Frecknall’s crepuscular revival of Kander and Ebb’s “Cabaret” was celebrated when it opened on the West End in 2021, eventually winning seven Olivier awards. But its Broadway transfer received a more muted response. (“Too often a misguided attempt to resuscitate the show breaks its ribs ,” The New York Times wrote.) So who cares? Not the Tony nominators, who recognized the show with a nomination for best revival of a musical and gave nods to the actors — Eddie Redmayne, Gayle Rankin, Bebe Neuwirth and Steven Skybell — in all four categories.

No yellow brick road for ‘The Wiz.’

The much-anticipated revival has been one of spring’s early hits, but Tony nominators followed the lead of critics, not audiences, who didn’t have much nice to say about the show’s look, script and performances. “The Wiz,” which earned seven Tony awards when it arrived on Broadway in 1975, didn’t get a single nod this time around.

Shaina Taub gets out the vote (mostly).

Like “Hamilton,” the musical “Suffs” looks at American history through a contemporary lens. Like “Hamilton,” the show started at the Public Theater before moving to Broadway. And like “Hamilton,” it was written and composed by its multitalented star, here 35-year-old Shaina Taub . When nominations were announced, though, Taub didn’t pull off a Lin-Manuel Trifecta. She received nods for her music and book, two of six nominations for “Suffs,” but not for starring as the suffragist Alice Paul. Nikki M. James, already a Tony winner for “The Book of Mormon,” got the show’s one acting nomination, as Ida B. Wells .

Pop/rock storms another stage…

Squint and you may think you’re at the Grammy Awards on Tonys night, as the best score nominees include Arcade Fire’s Will Butler (“Stereophonic”); David Byrne and Fatboy Slim (“Here Lies Love”); and Jamestown Revival (“The Outsiders”). Plus, of course, Sufjan Stevens, whose 2005 concept album is transcendently reorchestrated for dance in the best musical nominee “Illinoise,” and Alicia Keys, whose existing tunes power the most nominated musical of all, “Hell’s Kitchen.”

Except when it doesn’t.

Among those who might instead be watching from home: the not-nominated Barry Manilow (“Harmony”); Ingrid Michaelson (“The Notebook”); and Huey Lewis, whose songbook energizes “The Heart of Rock and Roll,” but didn’t rouse Tony nominators.

Waving the flag for ‘Illinoise’ and more.

Monday’s roster reflected a Broadway season that was notably American, even aside from “Illinoise,” a show actually named for a state. “Hell’s Kitchen,” nodding at the New York City neighborhood where Keys grew up, told a story we like to think of as local: Big dreams come true. “Suffs” took us behind the scenes of American history, as women fought for the vote. “Purlie Victorious” and “Appropriate” took contrasting approaches — one comic, one gothic — to the peculiar American institution of racism. But even aside from their content, the 17 productions nominated for the biggest prizes are overwhelmingly the work of American authors. (One of the touted London imports, Peter Morgan’s “Patriots,” didn’t even make the list for best play.) Is Broadway, which has too often resembled a British colony, finally achieving independence?

Sarah Paulson on her first Tony nomination, for ‘Appropriate.’

After Sarah Paulson moved to New York City when she was a young girl, her mother took a job as a waitress at Sardi’s, a storied Broadway restaurant. It opened up a world that she would not have otherwise been exposed to, helping to nurture her ambitions of performing onstage.

Paulson’s first acting job, at 19, was as a Broadway understudy, beginning a career that returned to the stage several more times but found its rhythm on television, with steady roles on Ryan Murphy’s “American Horror Story” and a career-defining turn as the prosecutor Marcia Clark in the limited series “ The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story ,” for which she won an Emmy.

Despite complex roles as famous public figures and, once, a pair of conjoined twins , Paulson said her most challenging role has been in the Broadway drama “Appropriate,” for which she received a Tony nomination for best leading actress in a play on Tuesday.

In “ Appropriate ,” a play by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins , Paulson plays an older sister clinging to her memories of her father as she and her siblings clear out his home after his death, confronting the family’s dark secrets and their grievances against one another in the process. In the script, Paulson gets to play with cutting insults, weighty monologues and plenty of yelling.

After learning of the news while still in bed, hours before taking the stage again, Paulson spoke about the endurance that it takes to be a stage actor and about her career coming full circle. These are edited excerpts from the conversation.

Tell me how you’re feeling right now about your first Tony nomination.

I feel very moved and certainly overwhelmed to be in a category with such extraordinary women, some of whom are my friends. More than anything there’s that little girl in me who moved to New York at 5 years old and whose mother got a job as a waitress at this theater hangout, to wake up and have a Tony nomination for the first time in my life, at 49, feels just wildly moving to me and something that I have dreamed about since I was a girl.

I think a lot of times we spent a lot of energy pretending like these things don’t matter, because at the end of the day, they don’t — in the grand scheme of things the work is all that matters — but the little girl in me cannot be quieted this morning with a kind of explosive joy and excitement for a childhood dream being realized.

What makes your role in “Appropriate” — as Toni Lafayette, this very headstrong, sometimes caustic woman — the toughest you have faced so far?

Part of it is the athleticism required to do a play eight times a week — vocally, spiritually, emotionally. It is literally different every night. Energetically, you can only prepare a certain amount and then something else happens onstage between you and the audience and you can’t prepare yourself for that. There are aspects of every performance that are unknown to you.

I remember one of the notes I got — I actually have it pinned up on my wall in my dressing room now — is that Toni belongs to you now. Ride the roller coaster with her; when she’s her most cruel, do it. When she’s her most loving, do it. When she’s her most vulnerable, allow that to happen. Toni is a roller coaster. She’s a roller coaster of a person, and therefore I have to be on that rickety roller coaster with her every night.

We’ve Found the Best Ways to Get Tickets to the Kentucky Derby 2024 Online

• By Sage Anderson

Sage Anderson

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, Rolling Stone may receive an affiliate commission.

Quick Answer:  Fans can find  tickets  to 2024 Kentucky Derby on Ticketmaster,  Vivid Seats ,  StubHub , and more.

If you’re planning on making a trip to the 2024 Kentucky Derby this year, then you should know it can be as easy to score tickets online as it is to figure out your trackside wardrobe. We’ll lead you to a guide on how to buy tickets to the Kentucky Derby to make it as breezy as the rush of thoroughbreds galloping out of the gate. 

But there are a few key things you’ll need to know that are new for this year, including new seating options (and yes, new prices), so we’ve gathered up all the essential information about your ticket options for the 150th Run for the Roses.

Due to the major overhaul of the Churchill Downs Paddock , there are a variety of different seating options this year to replace the ground-level viewing that’s been in place since the 1980s. What does that mean for you? Well, there’s a new multi-level structure that’s offering elevated views (but for a more premium price).

Here’s where you can still find Kentucky Derby 2024 tickets online, plus how to get discounts on your seating.

Where to Buy 2024 Kentucky Derby Tickets Online

Kentucky Derby tickets are officially sold on the “Seating Experiences” section of KentuckyDerby.com . This will outline your various seating options, along with the amenities and experiences you can get at each viewing tier.

Two-day tickets  to the Oaks and Derby can start easily exceed $12K, but if you don’t have “rubbing elbows with celebs in a box” money, you can still attend the Derby and stand in the infield for $60-$100 if you buy your tickets early enough. If you’re planning to attend both the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks, there are also several packages that combine Derby and Oaks tickets with access to exclusive hotel and transportation accommodations (these packages range from $2,999 to $13,000+ per person).

Another go-to ticket seller for events, StubHub also has available General Admission passes to the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks. We’ve spotted two-day tickets going for about $150 for GA at the time of publication. The site also has General Admission available right now for the day of the race for about $127 a piece.

Get Kentucky Derby Tickets on Vivid Seats

The site currently has General Admission tickets available, and even two-day tickets for the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks.

What Are the Seating Options for the 2024 Kentucky Derby?

One thing to note when you’re buying Derby tickets online , is that not all tickets on Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks days include seating. Here’s an update on this year’s seating choices and what that might mean for your budget.

Infield Tickets (General Admission)

These General Admission tickets are the most budget-friendly of the bunch, and grant you access to the field inside the race track, as well as public spaces near the Paddock. Since you’re in the center of the race track, you probably won’t be able to see the actual races, so you’ll have to rely on the announcer or watch from a TV screen. For this tier, we highly recommend bringing a foldable chair since it’s standing room only, so you’re not on your feet all day.

Frontside Plaza Walkaround (aka Standing Paddock Tickets)

Amanda shires didn't hide from her divorce at first show with jason isbell, randy travis lost most of his speech in 2013. how did he record a new song, kendrick lamar comes back for more on his second drake diss track this week '6:16 in la', dua lipa finds her bliss on 'radical optimism', infield bleacher seats (aka turf bleachers).

This is the most affordable “reserved seating” type ticket you can get for the Kentucky Derby. You’ll definitely be able to see the track, and seating includes a view of the final stretch of the Kentucky Derby race and faces the grandstand. It’s uncovered seating though, so you’re still exposed the elements, but these seats get you access to restrooms, Paddock areas, food and drink, and parking the Kentucky Expo Center with a free shuttle to the track. 

Premium Reserved Seats & Boxes

Beyond GA and Infield Bleachers, the price starts to go up significantly, but so do the amenities. Generally your r eserved seating or box ticket will come with an all-inclusive food and beverage menu (which means all you can drink Mint Juleps!) along with off-Site parking access at the Kentucky Exposition Center, with complimentary shuttle service to Churchill Downs Paddock. These include:

• Grandstand Bleacher Seats:  Backless bleacher-style seating (covered and uncovered) on the first and second levels of Churchill Downs with a view of the finishing stretch.
• First Turn Reserved Seating : Covered seating typically used by media and reporters. You’ll have a view of the horses being paraded from the track to the barn, then out to the paddock right before the race begins.
• Clubhouse or Grandstand Box Seating: Boxes have six padded, fold-down seats and are located on all three levels (there are covered and uncovered options). Very limited resale seats are available as of right now, with some resale tickets priced at more than $4,000 each.
• Homestretch Club : Named for its excellent view of the “home stretch,” this section also has a view of the Big Board and the Winner’s Circle. Seating is uncovered and outdoors, but this clubhouse level also offers access to an air-conditioned club on the first floor with a buffet and private bar. Tickets start at $4,500.

Three of the defendants pled guilty to all charges, according to state media news agency TASS.

Friday's attack left at least 137 people dead. The attack is Russia's deadliest in two decades .
