The 79th annual Tony Awards took place Sunday night at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, celebrating achievements in American theatre [1, 2]. Grammy-winning singer P!NK hosted the ceremony, which aired live on CBS starting at 8 p.m. ET and was also streamed on Paramount+ Premium [1, 2].
The musicals The Lost Boys and Schmigadoon! led the nominations with 12 each, followed closely by the revival of Ragtime which received 11 nods [1]. More than two dozen celebrities appeared as presenters, including Adrien Brody and Annette Bening [1].
The event featured a range of high-profile performances, including a set by Megan Thee Stallion [2]. On the red carpet, standout fashion moments included Danielle Brooks in a silver Wiederhoeft gown and Queen Latifah wearing a feathered cape by Naeem Khan [2]. However, some attendees received mixed reviews, such as Drew Barrymore’s three-piece Balenciaga outfit and Leslie Odom Jr.’s oversized ensemble paired with a red satin bomber jacket [2].
The ceremony marked the culmination of a season that began with the June 7 announcement of nominations and broadcast plans [1]. The live broadcast and streaming options brought the awards night to a wide audience eager to celebrate Broadway’s best.
