If predicting the winners seems overwhelming with so many terrific contenders to choose between, check out our racetrack odds below for all 26 categories.
These official odds for the Tonys are derived from the predictions of our Experts who write about theatre year-round, our in-house team of Editors, the Top 24 Users who did the best predicting last year’s ceremony, the All-Star Top 24 who have the highest scores when you combine predictions from the last two years, and all our Users who make up the largest and often savviest bloc of predictors.
On June 11, the Tonys begin with the first round of awards during a special called “Act One,” hosted by Julianna Hough and Skylar Astin, which airs at 6:30pm ET on Pluto TV via the Pluto TV Celebrity channel. The 76th annual Tony Awards then commences at 8:00pm ET on CBS and Paramount+, with Ariana DeBose returning as host.
