Divided into two “acts,” the ceremony will start with “The Tony Awards: Act One” hosted by Emmy Award-winners Darren Criss and Julianne Hough. “Act One” will be an hour of Paramount+ exclusive content including special performances and honors. Immediately after, the main ceremony hosted by Academy Award winner and Tony nominee Ariana DeBose will air live on CBS and live and on demand on Paramount+.
