The best of Broadway will be honored this weekend at the 2023 Tony Awards!
The show will go on, despite there being worries it wouldn’t happen due to the Writers Guild of America strike. The WGA has agreed not to picket the event as long as the show goes unscripted, so don’t expect lots of scripted jokes throughout the evening. Reports have said there won’t even be a teleprompter.
Nearly all of the new musicals on Broadway will be performing throughout the night, in addition to some special guests who will take the stage.

Against all odds, the show went on.On Sunday night, the 76th Annual Tony Awards was performed without a script due to the ongoing writers’ strike and was staged far, far away from its usual Midtown venue of Radio City Music Hall. Instead, the ceremony honoring Broadway plays and musicals was put on at the United Palace in Washington Heights way up on 176th Street.And with no lines professionally written, there were none of the usual skits or banter that make award shows chug along. Well, almost none.At one cringeworthy point, host Ariana DeBose ripped off Ellen DeGeneres’ celebrity selfie bit from the Oscars but lost her train of thought.“I don’t know what these notes stand for,” the “West Side Story” Oscar winner said awkwardly.

Like live theater itself, the Tony Awards has had ample opportunity of late to accustom itself to curve balls, upsets and all sorts of real-world intrusions onto Broadway’s rarified and beloved stages. Forget Covid – well, actually, don’t forget Covid, it’s still here one way or another – this year’s big potential disruption came with the WGA strike against the AMPTP.
