Cynthia Erivo Belts ‘Sometimes All You Need Is a Song' to Open Tony Awards
Cynthia Erivo sang a song with the lyrics that 'sometimes all you need is a song' for a rousing opening of the 2025 Tony Awards. The Wicked star, who won a Tony herself for her role in the 2015 revival of The Color Purple, is hosting the 78th annual event live from Radio City Music Hall. As she made her way to the stage, she met up with presenter Oprah Winfrey for a pep talk; together they recreated the finger-grabbing meme that went viral, which originally featured her Wicked co-star Ariana Grande. More from Rolling Stone Tony Awards Livestream: Here's How to Watch the 2025 Tonys Online Free 'Wicked: For Good' Trailer Sees Glinda and Elphaba's Friendship Tested 'Ballerina' Is Not the 'John Wick' Spinoff You're Looking For Erivo was backed by a full choir, and Kristin Chenoweth, Aaron Tveit, and Adam Lambert provided assists from the audience for the opening number. Early in the broadcast, there was also a fun reunion: Bill & Ted, a.k.a. Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves who are not yet starring on Broadway, but will be soon, were the first presenters of the night, which was bestowed on Best Performance of a Leading Actress winner Sarah Snook for her performance in The Picture of Dorian Gray. The actors, who starred in three Bill & Ted films (and voiced the animated TV series spinoff) including the most recent Face the Music in 2020, are next teaming up on Broadway as Estragon (Reeves) and Vladimir (Winter) in a revival of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. The Jamie Lloyd-directed production officially opens on Sept. 28 at Hudson Theatre, with preview performances beginning on Sept. 13. The limited engagement is set to run through Jan. 4, 2026.

Tonys broadcast hit with sound complaints as viewers beg CBS to ‘turn on the mics'
Viewers tuning into the 78th annual Tony Awards have complained about sound issues affecting the broadcast. Live from Radio City Music Hall in New York City, the awards ceremony is being shown on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. While fans were impressed with the performances, they were disappointed by the sound while presenters, winners, and performers — like Sarah Snook and Jonathan Groff — were at the mic. 'Who's on the sound at the tonys right now TURN ON THE DAMN MICS,' one frustrated fan wrote on X. 'They need to fix these sound issues while it's still early,' someone else said, while another agreed: 'Terrible sound.' 'The sound problems are really putting a hamper on the show performances. I could barely hear what Jonathan Groff was singing sometimes,' another shared. 'Why cant the #Tonys ever get the sound mix right on the Broadcast? The shows on Broadway do this 8 shows a week, its insane that @CBS can't ever get this right for one night a year,' someone else said. 'The sound mixing on the Tonys is horrendous,' another complained. The sound problems are really putting a hamper on the show performances. I could barely hear what Jonathan Groff was singing sometimes.#TonyAwards #tonys — Kristin (@itskristind) June 9, 2025 Other fans begged for a fix before the highly anticipated Hamilton reunion performance. 'The sound issues are crazy to me. Really messing up Nicole's big moment and everyone's big moment. Get it together before Hamilton,' one viewer wrote. The original cast is reuniting to celebrate the hit musical's tenth anniversary on Broadway. Hamilton received a record-breaking 16 Tony nominations in 2016 and ultimately won 11 awards, including Best Musical. Also performing during the main broadcast were the companies of nominated musicals Death Becomes Her, Maybe Happy Ending, Buena Vista Social Club, Floyd Collins, Gypsy, Maybe Happy Ending, Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical, Pirates! The Penzance Musical, Sunset Blvd., Just In Time, and Real Women Have Curves. The first part of this year's ceremony, The Tony Awards: Act One, began streaming promptly at 6:40 p.m. ET on Pluto TV. The national broadcast, hosted by Cynthia Erivo live from Radio City Music Hall, began at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. Succession star Snook took home the evening's first acting award for her expansive, one-woman take on The Picture of Dorian Gray. Paul Tazewell won for Death Becomes Her, marking the first time in 73 years that a costume designer has won an Oscar and a Tony in the same year. He won an Oscar earlier this year for Wicked: Part I. Kara Young also made history later in the evening when she became the second person to win back-to-back Tonys in the featured actress in a play category. She's already made history this year by earning her fourth consecutive acting nomination.

‘Hamilton' Original Company Reunion Performance Rouses Tony Awards Crowd As Lin-Manuel Miranda Leads Intricate Medley Of Songs
In tip-top shape, as if no time has passed since its 2015 debut off-Broadway and immense success thereafter, the original company of Hamilton reunited for a rousing performance featuring an intricate medley of songs from the hit soundtrack, bringing the audience to its feet. Host and Tony winner Cynthia Erivo introduced the castmembers, stating the musical 'changed not just Broadway, but how Americans view their own history — or so I'm told,' to crowd laughter. Calling it a 'cultural force' and 'explosion of joy that spilled onto Broadway's sidewalks,' she wasted no time in ushering the grand anniversary showcase, a true masterclass in rapid-fire onstage choreography and breathwork. More from Deadline Sarah Snook Doesn't Know How Cate Blanchett Would Turn "Picture Of Dorian Gray" Into A Film, But Would Love To Help Her Try Deadline's Tony Awards Live Blog Cynthia Erivo's Original Song Provides Lively Opening To Tony Awards As She Earns A Standing Ovation Beginning with Hamilton (Lin-Manuel Miranda) and Aaron Burr (Leslie Odom, Jr.) themselves, the medley swelled first with 'Non-Stop,' with the former then taking over for 'My Shot.' Enter stage left Phillipa Soo with 'That Would Be Enough,' later completing the beloved trio also featuring Jasmine Cephas Jones and Renée Elise Goldsberry for a brief snippet of 'The Schuyler Sisters.' Then came Daveed Diggs with 'Guns and Ships' and King George III himself (Jonathan Groff, his second time on the Tonys stage tonight). The quick transitions also gave way to 'Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down),' 'The Room Where It Happens,' 'Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story' and 'History Has Its Eyes on You,' ending with a short reprisal of 'My Shot.' Upon the conclusion of the reunion performance, which clocked in under five minutes, the crowd broke out into uproarious applause and a standing ovation. The reunion was announced late last month, featuring original cast members coming together to mark the 10th anniversary of the groundbreaking musical from Miranda, who led the performance alongside other original castmembers Carleigh Bettiol, Andrew Chappelle, Ariana DeBose, Alysha Deslorieux, Diggs, Goldsberry, Groff, Sydney James Harcourt, Neil Haskell, Sasha Hutchings, Christopher Jackson, Thayne Jasperson, Jones, Stephanie Klemons, Morgan Marcell, Javier Muñoz, Odom, Jr. (who will be reprising his Tony-winning role as Aaron Burr on Broadway this fall), Okieriete Onaodowan, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Jon Rua, Austin Smith, Soo, Seth Stewart, Betsy Struxness, Ephraim Sykes and Voltaire Wade-Greene. Hamilton debuted off Broadway at the Public Theater in 2015, transferring to the Great White Way's Richard Rodgers Theatre that year. At the 70th annual Tony Awards, it made history with a record-breaking 16 nominations and 11 wins including Best Musical. The show went on to receive the Grammy Award, Olivier Award, Pulitzer Prize for Drama and a special citation from the Kennedy Center Honors. Most recently, its Original Broadway Cast Recording became the first in history to be certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America. The 78th Tony Awards are being broadcast live on CBS and Paramount+ from New York City's Radio City Music Hall this evening.
