With such a stellar list of nominees and dynamic duo Bareilles and Groban on deck to host, theater fans won't want to miss this year's Tony Awards. Last year's broadcast was nominated for four Emmys and won the award for Out- standing Special Class Pro- gram. The show has been so successful for the network that CBS recently inked a deal to continue broadcasting the To- nys through to 2026. In an age of almost limitless screens, theater is a unique and cherished experience for many. Contrary to what you might think, the prevalence of easy- to-access, stay-at-home enter- tainment like videogames, streaming services and apps haven't diminished the allure of Broadway for theater fans. In fact, attendance has been up and holding steady for the past few years. Celebrate the magic of the stage by tuning into The 72nd Annual Tony Awards, air- ing Sunday, June 10, on CBS. Josh Groban and Sarah Bareilles are set to co-host the 72nd Annual Tony Awards continued from page T2 Stage-struck: Broadway stars shine at the Tony Awards TV FEATURE
