Tony Awards set date and venue for next year's ceremony

The Tony Awards are getting ready for their 2019 ceremony.

Announced Thursday, the 73rd annual awards show, celebrating the best of the Broadway season, will take place on June 9, 2019. It will again be broadcast live on CBS from Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

The 2019 edition of the telecast should be a star-studded one, as the current season includes plays starring Bryan Cranston, Kerry Washington, Armie Hammer, Daniel Radcliffe, Bobby Cannavale, John Lithgow, Laurie Metcalf, Ethan Hawke, Mike Birbiglia and Janet McTeer, to name just a few. The host(s) will be announced at a later date.

The season also includes musical adaptations of "Pretty Woman," "King Kong," "Tootsie," "Moulin Rouge!" and "Beetlejuice," plus productions that feature the lively catalogs of Cher, the Go-Go's and the Temptations.

Productions that open on or before April 25, 2019, will be considered eligible. The nominations will be announced on April 30.

Last season's ceremony was hosted by Josh Groban and Sara Bareilles. "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts One and Two" and "Angels in America" dominated the play categories, while "The Band's Visit" and "Once on This Island" took home the top musical nods.

The Tony Awards are presented by the Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing.
