Prepare your champagne flutes and tuxedos, thespians. The 2015 Tony Awards have officially arrived, bringing all your favorite stage actors under the same roof in New York City’s Radio City Music Hall.
The 69th edition of the annual award show, hosted by Kristin Chenoweth and Alan Cumming, will feature performances from some of the most popular and critically acclaimed Broadway shows of the year, as well as a hefty dose of Hollywood cameos from nominees and presenters like Jennifer Lopez, Jim Parsons, Amanda Seyfried, Bryan Cranston, Phylicia Rashad and — of course — Neil Patrick Harris.
Frontrunners of the night include Best Musical nominees “An American in Paris” and “Fun Home,” both packing a punch with a dozen nods each. “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time,” Simon Stephens’ stage adaption of the 2003 mystery novel, remains the favorite for Best Play. And poised to nab an award for her performance in “The Audience” is the crowd favorite, Dame Helen Mirren.
The show starts at 8 p.m. EST on CBS, and we’ll be updating you with every win and upset. In the meantime, check out a full list of the nominations.
