The Tony Awards Will Return to Radio City Music Hall in June 2025

Curtain up, light the Radio City lights! BroadwayWorld has just learned that the 78th Annual Tony Awards will return to the legendary Radio City Music Hall in New York City, broadcasting live to both coasts, Sunday, June 8, 2025 (8-11pm LIVE ET/5– 8pm LIVE PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ (live and on-demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on-demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the special airs)*.
