Here is all the information you’ll need to tune in on Sunday to the annual ceremony honoring Broadway’s top productions and performers.
When are the Tony Awards? We’re so glad you asked!
The Tony Awards, which each year honor the best plays and musicals staged on Broadway, are Sunday night.
The main event, with lots of song-and-dance numbers between the prizes, is at 8 p.m. Eastern, and will be televised on CBS and streamed on Paramount+. And before that, starting at 6:30 p.m. Eastern, is a preshow at which a number of awards for creative work, such as design, will be handed out. That will stream on Pluto TV.
This year is going to be different from the usual in several ways.
First, the ceremony will take place in a new location: the United Palace, a former movie house in Washington Heights, which is one of Manhattan’s northernmost neighborhoods. The reasons for the move are predominantly financial; the United Palace proved much less expensive to rent than Radio City Music Hall, where the show often takes place.
Second, screenwriters are on strike, and that strike initially threatened to disrupt the Tonys as it has disrupted other televised awards shows.
