Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Sutton Foster took the stage together. No, they haven’t teamed up for a Broadway show, a new television series, or a Modern Family/Bunheads crossover (which would be awesome). But the theater-loving stars came together Tuesday to announce the nominations for the 2013 Tony Awards. (They are the hosts for this year’s show, after all, so it only made sense that these two would have the honors of making the big announcement.)

Check out which plays and actors are nominated for Tony Awards for their work on the stage this year.
