Winners and nominees

The 2023-2024 Outer Critics Circle Awards nominations were announced on Friday, April 23, 2024, by Merrily We Roll Along cast members Jonathan Groff, Daniel Radcliffe and Lindsay Mendez.[3]

The 2024 Outer Critics Circle Awards winners were announced on May 13, 2024, with Stereophonic leading the winners by taking home four awards, including Outstanding New Broadway Play. Entering with 9 nominations, Dead Outlaw took home three awards, along with Suffs and Primary Trust. Revival awards went to Appropriate for play and I Can Get It For You Wholesale for musical revival.[4]

Due to its Broadway timeline, the Park Avenue Armory run of Illinoise was considered in off-Broadway categories, where applicable, while the Broadway production of Suffs was determined to at least 50% different than its original off-Broadway iteration. Therefore, it was deemed eligible in all production categories and select acting categories.[5]
