Tonys 2025 Live Updates: Broadway Stars Arrive as ‘Maybe Happy Ending' Wins Best Book
Pinned Updated June 8, 2025, 6:43 p.m. ET The Tony Awards preshow, a one-hour event at which prizes for designers and writers will be handed out before the television broadcast begins, is now underway at Radio City Music Hall. Theater's big night, which is being attended by George Clooney, Mia Farrow and many other celebrities, is taking place as Broadway enjoys an artistically robust rebound and record box office grosses, thanks in part to several starry plays. Prizes will be handed out in 26 competitive categories. Here's what to know about the show: How to watch: The main broadcast begins at 8 p.m. Eastern time on CBS and can be streamed live by subscribers of Paramount+ With Showtime. The preshow began at 6:40 p.m. Eastern time and is streaming on Pluto TV. Red carpet : Cole Escola, Rosie Perez, Leslie Odom Jr., Daniel Dae Kim and Keanu Reeves are among those who have already arrived. See a photo gallery of what the stars are wearing to mark the occasion. The host: The CBS broadcast will be hosted by Cynthia Erivo, best known for playing Elphaba in the 'Wicked' movies. She won a Tony in 2016 for playing Celie in a revival of 'The Color Purple.' The favorites: 'Maybe Happy Ending,' about two outmoded robots who strike up a relationship, is expected to win best musical. The best play race is led by 'John Proctor Is the Villain,' 'Oh, Mary!' and 'Purpose.' Anticipated highlights: The original cast of 'Hamilton' will perform a medley in honor of that musical's 10th anniversary, and Sara Bareilles will join Erivo during an In Memoriam segment. There will also be production numbers from 11 musicals now playing on Broadway. A possible record: Audra McDonald has already won six competitive Tony Awards, more than any other performer, and could win a seventh tonight for starring in a revival of 'Gypsy.' But she is in a tight race with Nicole Scherzinger, the former lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls, who stars in a 'Sunset Boulevard' revival. Show more

Amal Clooney Is Dripping in Pearls at the 2025 Tony Awards
George and Amal Clooney took date night to the next level tonight at the 2025 Tony Awards. The couple hit the red carpet at Radio City Music Hall for Broadway's biggest night. George, who is nominated for best performance by a leading actor in a play for his role in Good Night, and Good Luck, opted for a sleek, classic tuxedo. Amal, meanwhile, leaned into the opulence. The human rights barrister wore a body-skimming white dress with a corset-like bodice, which was adorned with thousands of pearls of all sizes. The strapless dress was complete with strings of pearls draped across her biceps. Amal accessorized her mermaid-esque dress with a small pearlescent clutch and a pair of white pumps. Amal Clooney and George Clooney at the 2025 Tony Amal was unable to attend the starry opening night of Good Night, and Good Luck, she did celebrate her husband backstage at a recent performance, alongside Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, and Huma Abedin. For the more lowkey occasion, the lawyer opted for an asymmetrical, one-shouldered black dress. But in her white, pearl-adorned dress at the 2025 Tony Awards tonight, Amal Clooney looks just at home on the red carpet as she does backstage.
