Tony Awards 2017: See the full list of nominees

The American Theatre Wing will toast the best of Broadway next month at the 71st annual Tony Awards, and now we know who'll be up for those accolades at the June 11 ceremony.

Nominations were announced Tuesday morning for this year's Tonys, and the musical Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 soared above the rest with a leading 12 nominations, including one for best musical and honors for stars Josh Groban and Denée Benton.

The Great Comet, a love story based on a section of Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace, will compete in that top category against Come From Away, about a small Canadian town who took in stranded passengers after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks; the heart-wrenching tale Dear Evan Hansen (which also notched a nomination for its star, Ben Platt); and Groundhog Day The Musical, adapted from the 1993 Bill Murray movie of the same name.

Bette Midler earned a nomination in the leading actress in a musical category for her role in the hit revival of Hello, Dolly!, which earned 10 nominations including best musical revival. Midler's category is stacked with two Broadway heavyweights — War Paint duo Patti LuPone and Christine Ebersole — and newcomers Benton and Miss Saigon's Eva Noblezada.

Dear Evan Hansen's haul is a total nine nominations. Along with competing for best musical and leading actor in a musical for Platt, its nods include one for its score, which comes from La La Land Oscar winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.

Other notable nominees include Cate Blanchett (nominated for her leading role in the play The Present), Groundhog Day standout Andy Karl (leading actor in a musical), Laura Linney and Cynthia Nixon (leading and featured actress, respectively, for their play The Little Foxes), and Andrew Rannells and Christian Borle for their featured and leading roles in the revival of Falsettos (Borle's other show this season, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, was snubbed across the board).

Tony nominee Christopher Jackson (Hamilton, In the Heights) and Tony winner Jane Krakowski (most recently on Broadway in last year's revival of She Loves Me) announced the nominees live from the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center.

Kevin Spacey will take on hosting duties at the Tony Awards ceremony, airing live on CBS from New York's Radio City Music Hall. He follows in the footsteps of James Corden, who hosted last year's Hamilton-heavy show.
