In adherence with WGA requests, the Tony Awards will air an unscripted, televised broadcast on June 11.
“Tony Awards Productions has communicated with us that they are altering this year’s show to conform with specific requests from the WGA, and therefore the WGA will not be picketing the show,” the guild said. “As they have stood by us, we stand with our fellow workers on Broadway who are impacted by our strike.” It’s currently not clear what changes will be implemented.
The 76th Annual Tony Awards was set to take place at the United Palace in New York City, with a pre-show of performances billed as streaming live on Pluto TV, Paramount Global’s FAST platform. The main awards ceremony was set to broadcast live on CBS and on Paramount+.
