Jesse Tyler Ferguson ("Modern Family," Comedy of Errors) and Anna Chlumsky ("Veep," Living on Love) host the ceremony.
The Public Theater's Hamilton is the most-nominated production, earning 12 nominations, including Outstanding Musical, more than any other show. It also set a new record for Lortel nominations to a single show.
Hamilton's nominations outdistanced the closest contenders for the awards honoring the best of Off-Broadway theatre. Roundabout's revival of Into the Woods was next with 7, Atlantic Theater Company's production of Stephen Adly Guirgis' play Between Riverside and Crazy came in third with 6.
Playbill.com will report the winners as soon as they are announced.
Representatives of the Off-Broadway League, Actors' Equity Association, Stage Directors & Choreographers Society, the Lucille Lortel Foundation, in addition to theatre journalists, academics and other Off-Broadway professionals, serve on the Voting Committee to determine the winners.
