The Tony Awards will air on Sun., June 7 on CBS at 8/7c, with Kristin Chenoweth and Alan Cumming serving as co-hosts this year.
The nominees met the press yesterday morning, April 29, 2015 for photo opps. Click over for my full gallery of the event, and check out the list of nominees at the bottom of this post.
There were some major snubs this year. Shows like “Honeymoon in Vegas,” “Finding Neverland,” “Disgraced,” “Gigi,” and “Dr. Zhivago” were almost completely forgotten. Only “Gigi” and “Disgraced” each got one nomination. I was especially disappointed that “Finding Neverland” and “Gigi” were so overlooked, as I enjoyed both shows very much.
Hollywood infiltrated Broadway quite a bit this year, as well. Film and TV stars Bradley Cooper, Patricia Clarkson, Alessandro Nivola, Ken Watanabe, Carey Mulligan, Bill Nighy, Helen Mirren, and Elisabeth Moss were all nominated for Tony’s, and they all showed up for the press reception.
