Claim 1: ““Schmigadoon” and “Cats: The Jellicle Ball” are Tony-nominated shows”
SINGLE SOURCE
While there are multiple search results mentioning 'Cats: The Jellicle Ball' and Tony nominations for 2026, the evidence provided does not mention 'Schmigadoon' receiving Tony nominations. The results for 'Cats' appear to be from a single thematic source or analysis of future awards, and 'Schmigadoon' is entirely absent from the provided evidence.
