A consistently excellent performer, before the 2025-2026 season, Kelli O’Hara had been nominated for eight Tony Awards, all for her turns in musicals. She won in 2015 for her leading role in “The King & I.” Now, O’Hara has earned her ninth nomination, which is her first for a play.

O’Hara plays Julia in the Roundabout Theatre Company revival of Noël Coward’s “Fallen Angels” and is a 2026 Tony nominee for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Play.
