There is something so special about the art of live performance, something that was sorely missed in the wake of the global health crisis. But, as theaters reopen their doors and invite audiences back in for a spectacle, we're able to finally give a nod to some of the talent, both onstage and working behind the scenes.
Following in James Corden's footsteps, six-times Tony award winner Audra McDonald will be presenting the 74th Annual Tony Awards. Hamilton's Leslie Odom, Jr is set to continue celebrations thereafter with The Tony Awards: Broadway's Back! - a special televised concert of performances from our nominees and fellow Broadway stars.
Don't miss a moment of what is sure to be a euphoric testament to theater with 4 hours of celebration to tune in for. Here's how to watch the Tony Awards online where you are.
