We'll also be bringing you live coverage of who's winning, transcriptions of their acceptance speeches, live photos from the best photo team in the business, special surprises, all the fashion and more! Plus, join in on the fun by playing our Tony Awards Drinking Game (if you're 21 or older) with some of our Tonys-themed cocktails and mute your commercials to jam along to our Songs of the Season playlist.
