EW's editorial guidelines Updated on June 11, 2023 11:00PM EDT The 76th annual Tony Awards celebrated a stunning, star-studded season tonight, broadcasting live from the United Palace in New York's Washington Heights neighborhood on CBS and Paramount+. Making history with two non-binary actors winning in two categories the ceremony is went ahead unscripted amid the WGA writers' strike, for the first time since 1988, with Oscar winner Ariana DeBose returning to host. DeBose opened the show with a dazzling dance medley while Best Musical nominee New York, New York brought the audience to its feet before the first commercial break. Though the show was originally supposed to feature an opening number by DeBose's former Hamilton boss Lin-Manuel Miranda, he stopped working on it in solidarity with the Writers Guild of America. But being Broadway's big night, the show must go on! After the industry had its first full season since returning from COVID closures, those theater luminaries deserve a night of good old-fashioned back-patting. J.

Theo Wargo/Getty Images The 2022-23 season brought in nearly $1.6 billion thanks to big splashy musicals like Some Like It Hot (the most nominated show of the night with 13), productions featuring Hollywood talent like Jessica Chastain (nominated for Best Actress in a Play) in A Doll's House, and buzzy fare like and buzzy fare like Fat Ham, Shucked, and & Juliet, which were the talk of the town. Still, this season's box office was down from the pre-pandemic high of $1.8 billion. And not all shows managed to turn a profit. Despite garnering rave reviews and six nominations, including Best Play, Jordan E. Cooper's Ain't No Mo' closed after 28 performances. Julianne Hough and Skylar Astin hosted Act One, the awards pre-show, in which technical awards were given out, including Best Original Score for Kimberly Akimbo and several awards for Some Like It Hot, Sweeney Todd, and Life of Pi. Miranda was on hand to present legendary composer John Kander, the longest working composer in Broadway history, with the Lifetime Achievement Award, while Jennifer Grey presented her dad Joel Grey also with the Lifetime Achievement Award.
