How to watch the 2021 Tony Awards
CBSN
The 74th Annual Tony Awards will celebrate outstanding performances of the 2019-20 Broadway season on Sunday, September 26. The return of the Tonys comes after shows came to a halt during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
Award-winning singer and actress Audra McDonald will host the awards show from Radio City Music Hall in New York City beginning at 7 p.m. ET, streaming exclusively on Paramount+. Acclaimed actor and singer Leslie Odom Jr. will then take over at 9 p.m. ET for the night's second half: "The Tony Awards Present: Broadway's Back!" on Paramount+ and CBS television stations.
"I am so glad that we've found a way to gather safely to honor and recognize all the incredible work that was done in the 2019-20 season," McDonald said in a statement. "While we look back, my greatest hope is that this event marks the beginning of a new era for Broadway — one with renewed commitment to inclusivity and belonging as well as appreciation for the sacred experience of live theater."
