Open the curtains because the 2022 Tony Awards are here!
Academy Award winner Ariana DeBose has been tapped to host tonight’s three-hour event on June 12, which features a star-studded lineup of presenters, including Andrew Garfield, Samuel L. Jackson, Sarah Paulson, Billy Porter, RuPaul Charles, Sarah Silverman, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Jennifer Hudson, Danielle Brooks, Vanessa Hudgens and more.
There will also be performances by several Tony Award-nominated musicals, including A Strange Loop, Company, MJ, Paradise Square, SIX, and The Music Man.
In a June 9 interview, DeBose said everyone is “going to have a lot of fun” during her big night as host.
“I’m trying to keep it light, keep it joyful, say a little something that maybe we need to hear,” the Hamilton star told the Associated Press. “But we’re celebrating. It feels great. I am, in the words of Stephen Sondheim, ‘excited and scared.'”
