Tony Awards offer many intriguing matchups in a star-studded season
A pair of singing androids. Two Pulitzer Prize-winning plays. A drunken Mary Todd Lincoln. A musical with a corpse as its hero. A “Romeo and Juliet” with teddy bears and rave music. Not to mention George Clooney. Broadway has had a stuffed season with seemingly something for everyone and now it’s time to recognize the best with the Tony Awards. They’re set for Sunday night on CBS and streaming on Paramount+ with Cynthia Erivo as host. Broadway buzz is usually reserved for musical but this year plays powered by A-list talent are driving the conversation.
