Happy Tonys!!!! Hosting a party on Sunday, June 8, or planning to watch on your own and celebrate the fun with everyone online? Here’s everything you need to make your Tonys night a success.
1. Print Your Tony Awards Ballots
We’ve created a custom ballot where you and your friends can mark off you guesses for each of the categories. Who in your group will win this year’s award for “Best Guesser”?
2. Get Your Playlist On
Because we love you, we also put together a 2025 Award Nominees and Winners Spotify playlist with some of our favorites from this year’s nominated musicals (or at least the ones who have released music so far) – just hit play and get your party going. You’re welcome.
3. Get Your Stream and Timing In Order
Don’t get caught trying to make sure you’ve downloaded the right apps and upgraded to the right plan when it’s time for the awards…here’s a breakdown of the what/where/when:
- New Yorkers can watch the Tony Awards red carpet arrivals live on NY1 at 5 p.m. ET. Some years we’ve been able to find a feed online to share with non-New Yorkers. Join us on X or Facebook where we’ll share the feed (if we can find it), plus photos and hot takes while the stars walk the carpet!
- Act 1, the pre-show and design awards, will start at 6:40 p.m. ET on Pluto TV. It’s free, but to make sure you don’t miss a second, it might be worth setting up an account and save the “Pluto TV Celebrity” channel as a favorite to make sure you’re good to go. No payment, registration or sign-in required to watch this portion of the awards. We’ll be posting updates on wins, so if you’d rather see the list of winners vs. watching this portion, we’ll give you top level updates on our socials. Note: two years ago, they left no time between this and the main awards feed, so you had to flip on a dime. Last year was better, and hopefully this year will have time between too…but just in case, it might be worth rehearsing your transition between apps. Can’t miss the big opening number!
- The main awards will start at 8 p.m. ET streaming on CBS, Paramount+ (make sure you have the premium version or you won’t be able to watch live), the CBS app or on CBS.com.
Outside the states? To watch The 78th Annual Tony Awards outside the US, you’ll need to use a VPN to connect to a US server and access the live stream that way.
And please note, the PT broadcasts will happen live again this year, so if you’re on that side of the country, you’ll be tuning into the red carpet at 2 p.m., Act 1 at 3:40 p.m. and main awards at 5 p.m., so take a vacation day, or start working on that fake cough now…
4. Join @BroadwayMusical for Hot Takes and Fun
We’ll be live tweeting, facebooking, instagramming, and updating during the red carpet, Act 1 and the awards. Join us and share your favorite and yikes moments throughout the night, pictures from your parties, and funniest takes.
We’ll also be posting another update later this week – walking through the exciting record-breaking possibilities for the night, listing the performances set to air during the ceremony, and buzzing some of the other buzz, so make sure you’ve subscribed to the blog if you haven’t already so you don’t miss out:
Happy Tony Awards everyone! Can’t wait to join you on the 8th!!!
