Find the Pluto Live Music channel.

I am watching on Pluto for "Act I" and CBS for the main broadcast.

Had to turn off the BWW stream as it just keeps freezing."

Yes, for the actual awards.

Enjoy tonight’s live stream, everybody!

If I may quote Paulson from last year’s survey article:

“A wise producer once told me that a Tony Award for best revival is really a prize for most improvement — that voters tend to honor productions that make them think differently about a title, rather than productions that simply remind them that a great show is still great.”

JELLICLE BALL should have the advantage here. 

This obviously isn't something I want to write / talk about, but unfortunately all signs are pointing to a pretty sizable mass culling on Broadway after this year's ceremony (if you include all the limited-run plays).

If rumors are to be believed:

Paulson's survey is arriving first thing tomorrow morning. That will be, as always, the metaphorical Tony dagger (especially for the main categories).

Correction: Mark Sonnenblick will be assisting Pasek and Paul for this year’s opening number, not Shaiman. 

Answering my own question about streaming the event outside of CBS platforms, try this third-party site with multiple HD servers, set to go live on Tony Sunday at 8 PM EST.

Adam Feldman points this out every year around this time too... "Tony's" is a contraction or possessive (depending on its use) and "Tonys" is a plural noun and should be used when referring to the awards. 

Is there a way to watch the ceremony via an illegal service or international coverage? 

If not, I guess I'll just live vicariously through this year's Tony Awards megathread.

It’s happened for best play before, most recently with VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE in 2013. 


Can’t see that happening with LIBERATION, though. It takes one of either direction or costume design, as well as its top honor.

Sounds like it's going to be a SpongeBob-like score, then."

It isn’t like SPONGEBOB, that had an original score and this is going to be a jukebox musical. 

This will be the first musical to play the Hayes since DAMES AT SEA in 2015, and the first since Second Stage bought the venue.

Should do okay with the subscriber audience, plus a Hollywood name or two in the cast. 

Second Stage has announced its Broadway season and dates at the Helen Hayes Theatre:

A reimagined The Fantasticks begins previews October 22 and opens on November 16.

Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’s Gloria plays its first preview March 17 and officially opens on April 5. 

Joey Fatone and Paulo Szot will return to the show and share the role of Lance this summer, as James Monroe Iglehart has just announced a sudden departure for later this week.

Dates for each…

Thursday, July 2 - Sunday, July 12: Joey Fatone
Tuesday, July 21 - Sunday, July 26 (mat): Paulo Szot
Tuesday, July 28 - Sunday, August 2: Paulo Szot
Tuesday, August 4 - Saturday, August 15: Joey Fatone
Tuesday, Aug 18 - Sunday, August 30: Paulo Szot
Tuesday, September 1 - Sunday, September 13: Joey Fatone

 

Official: as was to be expected, an original, 7-minute opening number written by Pasek and Paul (with an assist from Marc Shaiman) will kick off this year's ceremony. 

Standup comedian Matteo Lane joins the musical as Billy Flynn from June 22 - July 19. 

Also, this is just the music nerd in me speaking, but it's great to see Jared Schonig — Broadway's Chris Daughtry doppelgänger — remain behind the drum rig for this, he didn't continue with LOST BOYS after the workshop phase.

(If you want to hear him go absolutely feral, listen to "Bricks" from the WITNESS UGANDA concept album.)
