When the current Writers Guild of America strike threatened to put a stop to the event, the fate of the 76th annual Tony Awards 2023 was hanging in the balance. However, now that the path is cleared, the Broadway production-focused award ceremony will be held on June 11, 2023. Multiple-time awardee Ariana DeBose will host the 76th annual Tony Awards, for the second time in a row.

To be aired on CBS and Paramount+, the 76th annual Tony Awards will be held from 8-11 pm ET/5-8 pm PT. United Palace, a theater located in New York City, will be the host of the ceremony for the first time. Last year’s Tony Awards was held at Radio City Music Hall.
