Tony season is beginning! Each year the Broadway gets ready for the most anticipated event of the spring: The announcement of the nominations for the American Theatre Wing’s Tony Awards®.

This year the honor of revealing the list of nominees will go to a pair of Broadway veterans—two of the Great White Way’s brightest stars. Two-time past Tony-nominee Brandon Victor Dixon and two-time Tony-winner Bebe Neuwirth will take to the podium and end the suspense.

The 2019 Tony Awards Nominations Announcement will take place on Tuesday, April 30 at 8:30 a.m. ET. You’ll be able to watch the event via Facebook LIVE on our Facebook page. CBS This Morning will also cover the announcement.
