It’s the night of the 2023 Tony Awards and so many celebs are expected to be in attendance to honor the best of Broadway.
The show will go on, despite there being worries it wouldn’t happen due to the Writers Guild of America strike. The WGA has agreed not to picket the event as long as the show goes unscripted, so don’t expect lots of scripted jokes throughout the evening. Reports have said there won’t even be a teleprompter.
Nearly all of the new musicals on Broadway will be performing throughout the night, in addition to some special guests who will take the stage. Ariana DeBose is set as host of the main event!
