Follow the latest live updates and photos from the Tony Awards. 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+. 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. Ariana DeBose, who was nominated for a Tony in 2018, will host the ceremony for the second year in a row.

How to Watch the Tony Awards
  + stars: | 2023-06-10 | by ( Michael Paulson | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Lea Michele is going to lead a number from the revival of “Funny Girl” that opened a year ago. And Joaquina Kalukango, one of last year’s Tony winners, will sing a song to accompany the In Memoriam segment. Broadway is still struggling to recover from the lengthy coronavirus shutdown — attendance remains 17 percent below prepandemic levels — and producers view the Tony Awards as an important way to introduce a large audience to the newest shows. Also, the Tonys are a way to lift up theater as an art form, often boosting the careers of the artists involved. Wins and nominations help plays get staged at regional theaters and taught in colleges, and telecast performances help musicals sell tickets and tour.
