In the category of Best Play this year we have a four-way battle between "The Balusters", "Giant", "Liberation", and "Little Bear Ridge Road". However, it's in the musical category that things get really interesting, with "The Lost Boys" (yes, the vampire movie) and "Schmigadoon!" expected to clean up, while "Titanique" and "Two Strangers (Carry A Cake Across New York)" try to upset the odds.
There's even some love for revivals of "Cats" and "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" among the nominees, while actors including Daniel Radcliffe, Rose Byrne, Mark Strong, and Carrie Coon are up for individual awards.
Viewers can expect performances from Queen Latifah, Whitney Leavitt, and Alex Newell on the night, and there's set to be a huge tribute to the hit show "Chicago", which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. Yes, you're old.
If you want to see all the winners and losers live on the night, here's to watch the "Tony Awards" 2026 online from anywhere in the world.

Using a VPN is straightforward; follow these steps.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As noted, NordVPN is our preferred option.
