Tony Awards 2017 red carpet live stream: Where to watch
Many of Broadway’s best and brightest are coming out tonight for the big awards show, but in preparation of that very thing, there is a live stream of the pre-show being offered at the official site of the awards. The stream should start around 5:30 p.m. or so Eastern time, which should give you a reasonably amount of time to check out the best in Broadway fashion before the start of the show.
The awards show itself, hosted by Kevin Spacey, is going to start at 8:00 p.m. Eastern time. Remember that unless you are a subscriber on CBS All Access, there are no authorized streams for the show itself. We don’t want to be one of those sites that tries to sell you on a questionably-legal stream that is choppy and contains a billion or so pop-ups. Not really our style.
For those looking for more information on the show itself, we’re more than happy to provide that per the Tony website.
Performers – “The show-stopping performances include the casts of “Bandstand,” “Come From Away,” “Dear Evan Hansen,” “Falsettos,” “Groundhog Day The Musical,” “Hello, Dolly!,” “Miss Saigon,” “Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812,” and “War Paint,” along with additional performances by The Radio City Rockettes and Tony Award winners Cynthia Erivo and Leslie Odom Jr.”
Presenters – “The star-studded evening will include appearances by Scott Bakula, Sara Bareilles, Orlando Bloom, Rachel Bloom, Glenn Close, Brian d’Arcy James, Cynthia Erivo, Tina Fey, Sutton Foster, Josh Gad, Whoopi Goldberg, Jonathan Groff, Mark Hamill, Taraji P. Henson, Christopher Jackson, Allison Janney, Scarlett Johansson, Anna Kendrick, Keegan-Michael Key, Nick Kroll, John Legend, John Lithgow, Patina Miller, Lin-Manuel Miranda, John Mulaney, David Oyelowo, Chazz Palminteri, Sarah Paulson, Lea Salonga, Tom Sturridge, Tommy Tune, Olivia Wilde, and 2017 Tony Nominees Sally Field, Josh Groban, Bette Midler and Ben Platt.”
Obviously, there are a number of CBS-friendly names in there, but it’s a great mix overall of theater performers, big-name stars, and people in general who love the craft of performing on stage. You should be in for a great show, even if Spacey is being rather hush-hush on the show itself.
Later tonight, there will be some further highlights of the Tonys as a whole. Be sure to head over to the link here to check some of that out. (Photo: Tony Awards.)
