CBS and Pluto TV will also partner to present the first round of awards as part of the preshow special The Tony Awards: Act One, with further details to be announced at a later date.
Nominations for the 2024 Tony Awards will be announced on Tuesday, 30 April.
The Tony Awards are produced in collaboration with Tony Award Productions, a joint venture of the Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing, and White Cherry Entertainment. Ricky Kirshner and Glenn Weiss are executive producers for White Cherry Entertainment. Weiss will serve as director.
