As anticipated, there is a massive skew towards off-Broadway. Only 3 of the 18 shows nominated for Best Musical/Play/Revival are Broadway shows: The Inheritance, A Soldier's Play, and West Side Story. Of the 21 nominations for acting in plays, there are 3 for The Inheritance, 1 for A Soldier's Play, and 17 for off-Broadway shows. Similar for musicals: 2 for Jagged Little Pill, 1 for Tina, 1 for West Side Story, 16 for off-Broadway shows.

That being said, Danny Burstein for Moulin Rouge is the only surprising Broadway acting omission for me, although I think Ian Barford was great in Linda Vista (but didn't have much buzz). I'm surprised that Betrayal didn't get any nominations at all, though.

Francis Jue gets two noms in Lead: Soft Power and Cambodian Rock Band.

Very happy to see Paul Hilton, Edmund Donovan, and Conrad Ricamora get recognized.
