"I think the pandemic put a lot of things in perspective, both in terms of improvements we needed to make in the community and also just the way that everybody’s feeling about the world and about being a human," said Ben Platt, nominated for "Parade." "The art people are making has a real urgency and a real purpose."
"It’s a beautiful story about second chances, which honestly is is what we’re all going through right now," said Wolfe. "We’ve all been given a second chance after this time we’ve all been through. And so to have a musical that allows us all to celebrate in each individual way that we need to celebrate is really, really special and timely."
In the best new play category, nods were distributed to Tom Stoppard’s "Leopoldstadt," which explores Jewish identity with an intergenerational story, and "Fat Ham," James Ijames’ Pulitzer Prize-winning adaptation of Shakespeare’s "Hamlet" set at a Black family’s barbecue in the modern South. "It is a little bittersweet," Cooper said. "We only got a chance to do about like 60 performances and this cast and this creative team were like some of the most talented you’ve ever seen. It was unfortunate that people don’t get a chance to experience it because we really felt like it was something special. Audiences felt like it was something special.

The last slot in the category went to Jessica Hecht, staring in the play "Summer, 1976.
