Clooney & Scherzinger’s Broadway Buzz: 2025 Tony Nominees Revealed!

Nominees were revealed during a special stream earlier today.
The Tony Award, recognizing superior achievement in live theatrical productions, stands as theater’s most esteemed accolade. Jointly presented each year by the Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing, this trophy represents the “T” in the celebrated “EGOT” — the entertainment industry’s grand slam, alongside the Emmy Awards (television), Grammy Awards (music), and Oscars (film).
The 2025 Tony Awards gala is scheduled for Sunday, June 8, at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
Broadway luminary Cynthia Erivo will helm the ceremony. She boasts Tony, Emmy, and Grammy wins, plus three Oscar nominations—most recently for her role in the movie adaptation of the Broadway sensation, Wicked.
Viewers can tune into the broadcast on CBS and Paramount+ starting at 8 p.m. ET. A selection of awards will also be presented during a 90-minute pre-show, available on Pluto TV from 6:30 p.m. ET.
