The 75th annual Tony Awards are being held Sunday night to honor the top performances from the theater industry, following two years of Broadway disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The ceremony is being held at Radio City Music Hall in New York City and will be hosted by Academy Award winner and Tony Award nominee Ariana DeBose.
"A Strange Loop" comes into the night with 11 nominations, the most for any show. "MJ: The Musical" and "Paradise Square" each scored 10 nominations of their own.
The show will feature musical performances from "The Music Man," "A Strange Loop," "Company" and many more. Samuel L. Jackson, David Alan Grier, Skylar Astin, and Cynthia Erivo are among those scheduled to present awards.
The show will air on CBS and Paramount+ beginning at 8 p.m. ET. For the first time ever, the ceremony will air live on the West Coast. A streaming-exclusive special, "The Tony Awards: Act One," hosted by Darren Criss and Julianne Hough, will air at 7 p.m. on Paramount+.
