The Tony Awards are returning to Radio City Music Hall for the first time since 2022. The 78th Annual Tony Awards, which will recognize the best of the 2024–2025 Broadway season, will broadcast live from the venue June 8, 2025.
As in previous years, that live broadcast will be available on CBS nationwide, and will stream on Paramount+, live for Showtime-level subscribers and on-demand for Essential-level subscribers beginning June 9. The CBS broadcast will be live on both coasts, running 8-11 PM ET and 5-8 PM PT (check local listings).
What hasn't yet been announced is the cut-off date by which productions must open to be eligible for this year's honors, and whether or not we can expect another two-part broadcast as in previous years. Since 2021, a streaming-only event has preceded the official awards ceremony.
Radio City Music Hall is historically the most frequent home for the Tonys, having been held there 20 (and soon to be 21) times since 1997, the first Radio City Tony Awards. Recent ceremonies have taken the event to a variety of other homes, including Lincoln Center's David H. Koch Theater earlier this year, the United Palace in Washington Heights in 2023, Broadway's Winter Garden Theatre in 2021, and the Beacon Theatre on the Upper West Side in 2016, 2012, and 2011.
White Cherry Entertainment will be back to co-produce the event along with The Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing. Glenn Weiss will again direct, also serving as executive producer alongside fellow White Cherry showrunner Ricky Kirshner and Jack Sussman.
Filmed in 2023, the one-night-only event featured Brian Stokes Mitchell, Audra McDonald, Peter Friedman, and more from the Ahrens and Flaherty musical's original cast.
