The celebration will kick off at 7pm EST with a 2 HOUR traditional presentation of the Awards (presented by The Broadway League and American Theatre Wing) streamed only on Paramount+.
From there at 9pm EST, CBS will air a full 2 HOUR Live Concert entitled THE TONY AWARDS PRESENTS: BROADWAY’S BACK. It will include performances from this year’s 3 nominated shows for BEST MUSICAL (consisting of Jagged Little Pill, Moulin Rouge, and Tina), some of Broadway’s longest running hits, and more. From there, it will announce Tony winning shows nominated for BEST REVIVAL OF A PLAY, BEST PLAY, and of course BEST MUSICAL.

THE RHYTHM OF NEW YORK is back!!! The long running Award winning smash hit
Stomp officially reopened Off Broadway at the Orpheum Theatre. It also marks as the first major Off Broadway show to re-open for the first time in 16 months since being shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
After last night’s re-Opening Night (which was met with a thunderous standing ovation from the sold out crowd), the cast woke up early this morning to bring their urban funky sounds on
Good Morning America. If you just woke up now, check out the performance below.
How awesome was that?!!!!
