or the fourth consecutive year, the American Theatre Wing's Tony Awards® invites fans to attend free screening of the Tonys on a giant outdoor screen in Times Square. Sponsored by Nexxus Salon Hair Care, the simulcast takes place on Sunday, June 10th, from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., rain or shine.

With Avenue Q puppets Rod and Lucy hosting, the Tony Awards will join in partnership with the Times Square Alliance and Clear Channel Spectacolor to air the Tony Awards Red Carpet (courtesy of NY1) beginning at 6:00 p.m., as well as the entirety of the Tony Awards show on Clear Channel’s SpectacolorHD screen. The simulcast will feature full audio and include the Creative Arts Awards, which are presented by InterContinental Hotels and Resorts.

The event is free and open to the public. Seating is available starting at 5:30 p.m. in Duffy Square at the northern end of Times Square (Broadway between 46-47th Streets).

Throughout the evening, fans in Times Square will get the opportunity to test their Broadway knowledge through a Nexxus Trivia Contest. Winners will receive VIP Nexxus Gift Boxes – the same products which will be given to the Tony Award presenters at this year’s ceremony.

As the Official and Exclusive Beauty Partner of the Tony Awards, Nexxus will give fans unprecedented red carpet and behind-the-scenes beauty and fashion access throughout the awards.
