Broadway’s oft-stated efforts to reach beyond traditional audiences and its own mid-town environs seems evident in the choice of location for the 2023 Tony Awards: Rather than the usual theater-district and Times Square haunts like Radio City Music Hall or one of the major Broadway venues, the Tonys will be broadcast live on CBS from the United Palace in upper Manhattan’s Washington Heights neighborhood.
The 76th Annual Tony Awards will take place on Sunday, June 11, 2023, on CBS, and will stream live and on demand on Paramount+.
The announcement was made today by the American Theatre Wing and The Broadway League, presenters of the awards. Additional information, including host plans, will be announced in the coming months.
“We are excited to bring the Tony Awards to the historic United Palace for the first time,” said Heather Hitchens, President and CEO of the American Theatre Wing, and Charlotte St. Martin, President of The Broadway League,...

The 76th annual Tony Awards will take place on June 11, 2023 and for the first time, will be presented at the United Palace in Washington Heights.
The Tony Awards have traditionally been held at Radio City Music Hall, but moved to the Beacon Theater on Manhattan’s Upper West Side in 2011 and 2012. The 2019-2020 Tony Awards, which were delayed until September 2021, were held at Broadway’s Winter Garden Theatre.
The Tony Awards did not give a reason for the move, but it brings the awards show to a smaller venue. The United Palace, which hosts concerts, movie premieres and film shoots, has close to 3,400 seats to Radio City Music Hall’s more than 6,000. The theater opened in 1930 as one of Loew’s Wonder Theatres, showing movies and vaudeville performances.

Broadway theaters will dim their lights for one minute on Oct. 15 to honor the late Angela Lansbury.
Lansbury, a six-time Tony Award winner, died on Oct. 11 at the age of 96. Theaters will dim their lights for one minute Saturday at 7:45 p.m.
“Angela Lansbury was without a doubt one of Broadway’s most endearing leading actresses and her influence in the world of musical theatre will forever live on,” said Broadway League president Charlotte St. Martin. “It is impossible to think of Broadway and not be reminded of Ms. Lansbury and some of her most iconic roles — from Mame and Gypsy to Sweeney Todd — just to name a few.”
“We think of her as Broadway royalty and a member of our family, while recognizing that Hollywood thinks of her the same way. We’re just proud she’s ours too! Along with...

Update with Broadway League response In a letter sent to members of Actors’ Equity Association and obtained by Deadline, the union says that the Broadway League’s decision to adopt a “mask optional” policy for audience members beginning in July was “made unilaterally, without input” from the union.
In a response provided to Deadline, the League says the mask optional announcement is “entirely consistent with our fully negotiated safety protocols.” (See the statement in full below.)
The League, the trade organization that represents theater owners and producers, said Tuesday that in July audience members will be encouraged, but not mandated, to wear masks in theaters. The policy, which will be re-evaluated on a monthly basis, ends Broadway’s audience mask mandate that’s been in place since theaters reopened from the Covid shutdown last fall.

Broadway will adopt a “mask optional” policy for audiences in July, the Broadway League announced today.
Audience members will be encouraged, but not mandated, to wear masks in theaters.
Charlotte St. Martin, President of The Broadway League said: “Millions of people enjoyed the unique magic of Broadway by watching the 75th Tony Award Ceremony recently. Millions more have experienced Broadway live in theatres in New York City and throughout the U.S. since we reopened last fall. We’re thrilled to welcome even more of our passionate fans back to Broadway in the exciting 22-23 season that has just begun.”
Audience masking protocols for August and beyond will be evaluated on a monthly basis. An update will be announced in mid-July, the League said.
The news comes a week following the Tony Awards ceremony at which audiences in orchestra seats at Radio City Music Hall were not required to mask up.

Tony Awards host Ariana DeBose shone a spotlight on the swings and understudies of the Broadway season Sunday, praising their critical role in keeping productions going while the industry grappled with Covid-19.
“I want to give a round of applause to some people who played a vital role in keeping Broadway shows open these past few months—the understudies, the swings and the standbys,” DeBose said. “And let’s not forget the stage managers and the associates and the dance captains who rehearsed them to go on in a moment’s notice.”
As the omicron wave hit Broadway casts in December and January — and as Covid cases continue to impact Broadway shows — understudies and swings (actors who can go on for multiple parts) have frequently filled in for sick cast members in order to keep the shows running.
