The Tony Awards will return to Radio City Music Hall in June, after several years away from the midtown concert hub.

The awards show is set to take place at Radio City on June 8, 2025, in a ceremony celebrating the 2024-2025 Broadway season. CBS remains the broadcast partner for the ceremony, which runs live from 8:00 – 11:00 PM ET/5:00 – 8:00 PM PT on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+ for subscribers.

Ricky Kirshner and Glenn Weiss, who recently produced the DNC, are executive producers and showrunners for White Cherry Entertainment, which produces the Tony Awards in collaboration with The Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing. Weiss will serve as director of the awards show. Jack Sussman is also an executive producer. Plans for the pre-show, which typically airs on one of Paramount’s streaming services, have not yet been announced.

While the Tony Awards had been traditionally held at the 6,000-seat Radio City Music Hall, the ceremony was held at the smaller Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater last year (a decision that was met with grumbling from industry members about the lack of seating in the orchestra and led to co-producers having to stand on risers in the lobby, rather than on stage, to be filmed when their show accepted an award).

The year before, the ceremony was held at the United Palace theater in Washington Heights, which posed problems for cast members due to the distance from the theaters in midtown. The 2019-2020 Tony Awards, which were delayed until September 2021 due to the pandemic, were held at Broadway’s Winter Garden Theatre.

The Tony Awards also returns to its typically early June slot, after being pushed to Father’s Day last year, and seeing a further decline in ratings.
