Despite the ongoing Hollywood writers’ strike, Broadway’s most important show must go on. Here’s everything you need to know to stream the 76th Annual Tony Awards Sunday, June 11.
This year’s ceremony will be hosted by Oscar-winning Broadway star Ariana DeBose at the United Palace in New York and broadcast live at 8/7 a.m. on CBS. (A first batch of rewards will be given out from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Pluto TV). The Tonys will also be available to stream live on Paramount+, for those who subscribe to the Premium plan.
How to watch the Tony Awards online
The Tony Awards will be broadcast live on Paramount+, but only for those with a Premium Membership. (Pro tip: If you’re dying to stream just the awards show, you can hypothetically subscribe to the Premium plan and cancel your subscription before next month!)
But when you subscribe to Paramount+you have access to tons of originals such as Joe Pickett, Rabbit Hole, Star Trek: Picard, king of tulsa, 1923, Mayor of Kingstown, Criminal Minds: Evolution And Wolf Pack. The streamer also offers subscribers movies like Top Gun: Maverick Teen Wolf: The Movie And Dedicationand live NFL sports action on CBS, UEFA Champions League and March Madness (punctuated by highlights, replays and expert analysis via CBS Sports HQ).
PARAMOUNT+ STREAMING: REGISTER NOW
($4.99/month for Essential plan; $9.99/month for Premium plan)
Paramount+ offers two subscription tiers to access the service on its own, but if you’re a theater fan, you’ll need the Premium package. This plan allows you to stream with No commercials for just $9.99/month, or save by paying $99.99 for an annual plan, and includes your local live CBS station. Live TV streams will always contain commercials, and a few shows include brief promotional breaks to keep you up to date with news and upcoming Paramount+ shows.
If you decide you like Paramount+ programming after the awards show, you can upgrade to a cheaper plan if that better suits your needs. Paramount+ offers the Essential Package with ads for just $4.99 per month; this plan makes not include your local live CBS station, but NFL on CBS and UEFA Champions League are available via separate live streams. Paramount+ is currently offering subscribers the chance to save 16% by committing to a one-year subscription for $49.99.
Paramount+ also offers users the option to bundle with a Showtime subscription, giving you access to the premium cable company’s own library of original series, including Yellow Vests, Your Honor, George and Tammy and more. With Showtime, you can also stream critically acclaimed films such as Anywhere Anywhere Anything Once, which won seven Oscars (including Best Picture). For $11.99/month (or $119.99/year), you can subscribe to the Essential Package + Showtime Package or the Premium package + Showtime package. (Yes, that’s right! Both packages are now the same price!) We recommend the Premium Package + Showtime Package because why not enjoy ad-free streaming for the same price as the Essential package with ads?
