The 76th Tony Awards are taking place tonight at the United Palace in Manhattan’s Washington Heights neighborhood. The awards ceremony, which honors plays and musicals that opened on Broadway between April 29, 2022, and April 27, 2023, will be broadcast live at 8 p.m. Eastern on CBS and streamed on Paramount+. A special segment, hosted by Julianne Hough and Skylar Astin, streamed on Pluto TV before the main ceremony, during which a number of awards, including recognitions for lifetime achievement and best original score, were announced.
This year’s awards ceremony, which was nearly called off amid the Writers Guild of America strike, will be presented without a script in an agreement reached with the union. (When the screenwriters’ strike last month threatened the broadcast, playwrights banded together to save the telecast.) As a result, the show will go on, but the ceremony will forego a custom-made opening number. Writers were also encouraged to pre-record their acceptance speeches.
Ariana DeBose, who was nominated for a Tony in 2018, will host the ceremony for the second year in a row. Viewers can expect a song-and-dance-filled night, with performances from the Tony-nominated musicals, including “& Juliet,” “Camelot,” “Kimberly Akimbo,” “New York, New York,” “Shucked” and “Some Like It Hot,” in addition to musical numbers from “Funny Girl” and “A Beautiful Noise.”
