The 76th Tony Awards take place on Sunday 11 June.
Lea Michele, the current star of Broadway’s revival of Funny Girl, along with 2022 Tony winner Myles Frost, who won for his portrayal of Michael Jackson in MJ, read the list of nominees during a live stream on the Tony Awards YouTube page last month.
Academy Award-winner Ariana DeBose will be returning for her second stint as host, after a memorable debut last year.
The 2023 ceremony will be noticeably different to previous events, due to the effects of the ongoing Hollywood writers’ strike. Striking members of the Writers Guild of America have agreed not to picket but won’t allow its writers to work on the show, leaving Broadway‘s biggest night without an established script.
Those attending can expect performances from the casts of Camelot, Into the Woods, & Juliet, Kimberly Akimbo, New York, New York, Parade, Shucked, Some Like It Hot and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
Joaquina Kalukango, the winner of last year’s Tony for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical, will sing, along with the casts of A Beautiful Noise and Funny Girl.
