Tony Awards 2017: Date, Time, Channel For Live Stream And TV Broadcast

Broadway comes to the small screen when the Tony Awards air! The 2017 ceremony will highlight the biggest shows of the year, so theater fans won’t want to miss it. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to watch on TV or via live stream.

Traditional TV viewers will just need to tune in to CBS at 8 p.m. EDT on Sunday, June 11 to see the 2017 Tonys. The east coast will see the Tonys ceremony broadcast live from Radio City Music Hall in New York City. The west coast will see it a few hours later at 8 p.m. PDT.

Those who want to watch the 2017 Tony Awards online will need a CBS All Access account. New users can get a free trial for a week, but returning users will have to pay $5.99 a month to use the service. The live stream can be watched on computers or mobile devices with the CBS All Access app.

“House of Cards” star Kevin Spacey will play host this year. The star will also be promoting his play. He’ll star in the one man show “Clarence Darrow” this month at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The play, which will only be performed on June 15 and 16, follows the Scopes Monkey Trial, in which a teacher was accused of violating the law and teaching human evolution.

Spacey, of course, won’t be the only star that viewers recognize from TV and film. Orlando Bloom, Stephen Colbert, Tina Fey, Josh Gad, Josh Groban, Taraji P. Henson, Scarlett Johansson, Anna Kendrick, Keegan-Michael Key, Bette Midler, Ben Platt and Olivia Wilde are also scheduled to appear as presenters or performers at the show.

They’re not who theater fans are really tuning in for, though. They want to see all of this year's Broadway hits. “Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812,” starring Denée Benton and Josh Groban, leads the Tonys race with 12 nominations. The “Hello Dolly!” revival, with Bette Midler and David Hyde Pierce, scored 10 nods. The big competition is the coveted Best New Musical award. “Great Comet” is nominated against “Groundhog Day,” “Come From Away” and “Dear Evan Hansen.”
