In addition to the Live Theatre nominations, there are also a number of theatre-adjacent television programs being considered for honors, with Grease Live! and television's favorite musical comedy, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, among them.

A Los Angeles ceremony will be held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Jan. 19, 2017, and will be hosted by Joel McHale, with a New York ceremony at Stage 48 in Hell's Kitchen that will share the same date. No emcee for the New York event has been announced.
