Broadway's brightest stars are gathering tonight in New York City for the 79th Annual Tony Awards, promising an evening of unparalleled glamour and celebration. The iconic Radio City Music Hall is set to host the star-studded event, with global superstar and three-time Grammy winner Pink taking the reins as host. The main ceremony kicks off at 8 p.m. EST, but the excitement has already begun with preshow awards being handed out, including early wins for "Schmigadoon!".
Theater enthusiasts who have cut the cord need not worry; the 2026 Tony Awards will be broadcast live on CBS, and can be streamed online for free via trials on platforms like DirecTV, Fubo, and Hulu + Live TV. For those seeking a longer-term viewing solution, Paramount+ Premium also offers access to CBS streaming. The awards show, one of the entertainment industry's oldest, dates back to 1947 and continues to honor excellence in theater.
This year's ceremony features a highly anticipated lineup of performances and appearances. Fans can look forward to Rachel Zegler's tribute to "A Chorus Line" and a special appearance from Leslie Odom Jr. The original cast of "The Book of Mormon" is also set to deliver a spectacle, commemorating the musical's 15th anniversary. Competition is fierce in the Best Musical category, with "The Lost Boys," "Schmigadoon!," "Titaníque," and "Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York)" all vying for the coveted award.
Beyond the main event, the Tony Awards weekend has already been buzzing with activity. The inaugural Black Broadway Nominee Soirée, hosted by Tony-winning producer Lamar Richardson, was held on Friday afternoon at the Skylark lounge, bringing together stars ahead of the big night. As Pink prepares for her hosting duties, she's also shared glimpses of her family life with husband Carey Hart and their children, Willow Sage and Jameson Moon, adding a personal touch to the superstar's big night. The ceremony is scheduled to conclude around 11 p.m. ET.
