Amid the WGA strike, the show will go on for Broadway’s biggest night. The 76th annual Tony Awards air Sunday, June 11 at United Palace in New York City’s Washington Heights. A 90-minute pre-show will be hosted by Julianne Hough and Skylar Astin starting at 3:30 p.m. PT/6:30 p.m. ET, while Ariana DeBose will return to host the unscripted main event. The three-hour ceremony will be broadcast live on CBS and streaming on Paramount+ starting at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET.
