The Tony Awards will air on CBS and stream on Paramount+ on Sunday, | |
June 8 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. The show will be broadcast live from | |

forward to ushering the theater community at large through a night that | |
celebrates the wonderful performances we have witnessed throughout the | |
year. I hope I can rise to the occasion.” | |
Erivo is also not unfamiliar with Broadway and its biggest night, | |
having previously won a lead actress Tony in 2016 for her role as Celie | |
in “The Color Purple” and performed “I’m Here” from that hit | |
show during the ceremony. She is next set to take on the title role in | |

Happy Ending” are the productions that earned the most nods with 10 | |

Villain,” “” and “The Hills of California” all earned seven | |
each. | |
This year’s ceremony will also feature plenty of Hollywood talent, | |
with film and TV actors including George Clooney and Sarah Snook, among | |
others, earning their first-ever nods. Clooney earned a Tony nomination | |
in the lead actor in a play category for his performance in “Good | |
Night, and Good Luck,” a story that follows Edward R. Murrow’s | |
(Clooney) historic on-air interview with Sen. Joseph McCarthy. | |
Daniel Dae Kim, who was nominated for his role in “Yellow Face,” | |
and Cole Escola (“Oh, Mary!”), Jon Michael Hill (“Purpose”), | |

The First Shadow”) are also nominated in the category. | |
Snook, who was nominated for “The Picture of Dorian Gray” in the | |
the lead actress in the play category, is up against fellow first-time | |
nominees Sadie Sink (“John Proctor is the Villain”) and Mia Farrow | |
(“The Roommate”). Veterans Laura Donnelly (“The Hills of | |
California”) and LaTanya Richardson Jackson (“Purpose”) are also | |
nominated in the category. | |
Who is performing? | |
The original cast of “Hamilton,” including Lin-Manuel Miranda, | |
Ariana DeBose and Leslie Odom Jr., among others, will reunite for a | |
special performance honoring the Tony-winning production’s 10th | |
anniversary. The ceremony will also feature performances from the casts | |
