Live from historic Radio City Music Hall in New York City, Cynthia Erivo hosts the 78th annual Tony Awards on CBS and Paramount+ with Showtime!

Tony season is upon us as three shows, Death Becomes Her, Maybe Happy Ending, and Buena Vista Social Club, lead the field with 10 nominations apiece. The three aforementioned musicals are joined by Operation Mincemeat and Dead Outlaw in the competitive “Best Musical” category. The “Best Play” field is also predictably stacked as English, The Hills of California, Oh, Mary!, Purpose, and John Proctor Is the Villain compete for Tony glory.

A full list of nominees can be found on the official Tony Awards website.

This year’s show also includes a medley of must-see performances from Buena Vista Social Club, Sunset Blvd., Maybe Happy Ending, Death Becomes Her, the original cast of Hamilton, and more.
