It’s here! It’s here! The Tony Awards is finally here!
Will Hamilton sweep the awards and beat out The Producers record of 12 Tonys? Will awards and performances tonight be enough to save some of the struggling shows?
Featuring an original opening song from host James Cordon, plus performances from Shuffle Along, She Loves Me, School of Rock, Fiddler on the Roof, The Color Purple, Waitress, Hamilton, Bright Star, On Your Feet! and Spring Awakening — it should be quite the night!
We’ll be live tweeting, Facebooking and updating this page, so join us live on the red carpet starting at 5:30 PM EST, and during the awards starting at 8 PM EST.
(Do you live on the West Coast or abroad or have you pawned your TV for a laptop? You’re in luck — you can now stream the ceremony and join in the live fun!)
We can’t wait for the most exciting Broadway night of the year and hope you join the conversation to share your glee, snark and love of all things Broadway!
