Overview
- Tony Award organizers announced Wednesday that Laura Benanti and Tituss Burgess will co-host The Tony Awards: Act One, a free live pre-show on Pluto TV scheduled for June 7 from 6:35–8:00 p.m. ET.
- Act One will present the first round of competitive Tony Awards in an 85-minute telecast designed as an official lead-in to the main ceremony.
- Both hosts bring Broadway and screen credentials: Benanti is a Tony winner and multiple nominee, and Burgess is a multi‑Emmy and SAG‑nominated performer with recent Broadway roles.
- The 79th Tony Awards main ceremony will follow at 8:00 p.m. ET, broadcast live from Radio City Music Hall on CBS and streaming on Paramount+ with P!NK hosting and Raj Kapoor, Sarah Levine Hall, and Jack Sussman as executive producers.
- Viewers can watch Act One on Pluto TV’s Live Music channel via smart TV, streaming device, mobile app or online, a free option that expands access even as in-person tickets for Radio City carry steep prices and a four-ticket limit.
