Tony Awards Tickets – Celebrating This Year’s Stage Successes

Formerly of Will & Grace and now a Tony Award nominee, Sean Hayes was recently announced as the host for the 64th Annual Antoinette Perry “Tony” Awards, set to take place June 13th at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. The Promises, Promises star said in a statement, “I am absolutely thrilled to be hosting the Tony Awards. As the new guy on Broadway, it’s an honor to be included in the established alumni.”

Airing live on CBS beginning at 8 p.m., the star studded affair is expected to be one of its most eclectic in history, with performances by rock bands, television musical stars and more. If you haven’t picked up your <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(‘/outgoing/article_exit_link’);” href=”http://www.stubhub.com/tony-awards-tickets/”>Tony Awards tickets</a> from http://www.stubhub.com today, act quickly as the show is just days away!

This year’s Tony Awards musical performances are unlike anything Broadway fans have seen before – from Best Musical nominations American Idiot, Fela!, Memphis and Million Dollar Quartet to Best Musical Revival nods Ragtime, La Cage aux Folles and A Little Night Music, the show is going to be full of energy. Helping to make things a little more mainstream, fans of Glee, the Fox hit television series about a group of singing high school students, will be impressed when Broadway veterans Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison also appear on stage. But what will really knock your socks off this year is a performance by rockers Green Day along with the cast of Come Fly Away and Promises, Promises, the Bay Area alternative rock outfit that helped pen the Tony nominee American Idiot.

Though the award show is really all about who wins what, to keep things entertaining the show’s producers are bringing on board a slew of stars. Presenting alone are Hollywood’s veteran actors like Antonio Banderas, Cate Blanchett, Michael Douglas, Scarlett Johansson, Helen Mirren, Chris North, Lucy Liu and others. Additionally, acts from the plays Fences, Lend Me a Tenor, The Royal Family, A View from the Bridge, In the Next Room or the vibrator play, Next Fall, Time Stands Still and Red will also perform.

Hayes, a television and film actor who captured America’s attention as the loveable but often lost Jack McFarland in the Emmy Award winning sitcom Will & Grace, is sure to lighten things up this year. “Sean’s humor, charm and natural ability on the stage will make an already great show even better,” executive producer Glenn Weiss said on the Tony Awards site. Hayes has also starred in several films like The Bucket List, Billy’s Hollywood Screen Kiss and The Cat in the Hat, among others. “We couldn’t be more excited about Sean carrying on the tradition of excellent hosts for the Tony Awards,” Weiss added.

Presented by The Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing, the Tony Awards are “bestowed annually on theatre professionals for distinguished achievement.” The Wing first established the awards in 1947, naming the awards show after Antoinette Perry, American Theatre Wing’s wartime leader who acted and produced, and who at the time had just passed away. The awards show opened in the Waldorf Astoria’s Grand Ballroom, presenting just 11 Tonys in seven categories.
