Darren Criss and Renée Elise Goldsberry are co-hosting this year’s Tony Awards preshow.
The Tony Awards: Act One is a live show with exclusive content that will stream on Pluto TV on Sunday, June 8 at 6:40-8 p.m. ET/3:40-5 p.m. PT.
Tony award winner Goldsberry earned her win in 2016 for featured actress in a musical for her work in Hamilton. Most recently, she’s appeared in All In: Comedy About Love and is also dropping her debut album, Who I Really Am, next month.
Criss received his first Tony Award nomination this year in the leading role in a musical category for his performance in the original musical Maybe Happy Ending. He is up against Andrew Durand (Dead Outlaw), Tom Francis (Sunset Blvd.), Jonathan Groff (Just in Time), James Monroe Iglehart (A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical) and Jeremy Jordan (Floyd Collins.) Criss’ additional Broadway credits include How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, American Buffalo and off-Broadway’s Little Shop of Horrors.
Immediately after the pre-show, the 78th annual Tony Awards will begin airing on CBS with Tony winner Cynthia Erivo as its host. This year, the ceremony returns to Radio City Music Hall in New York City after it was held at Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater.
The Tony Awards, which have aired on CBS since 1978, are produced jointly with Tony Award Productions, a collaboration of the American Theatre Wing, The Broadway League and White Cherry Entertainment. The exec producers and showrunners include Ricky Kirshner and Glenn Weiss.
