Airing live on CBS, the 76th annual Tony Awards will take place Sunday, June 11 at New York Citys United Palace, and cord-cutters looking to tune in to Broadways biggest night are in luck.

For the third year in a row, the awards show will be split into two broadcasts, beginning with a pre-show hosted by Julianne Hough and Skylar Austin, which will stream live on Pluto TV at 6:30 p.m. ET.

The proper ceremony will directly follow at 8 p.m. ET, with West Side Story star Ariana DeBose returning to host for the second year in a row. The three-hour ceremony will broadcast live on CBS and stream simultaneously on Paramount+. The full telecast will also be available to stream on-demand for all membership tiers following the livestream.

Aside from Paramount+, cord-cutters can also watch the ceremony on a number of live TV streaming platforms that carry a local CBS affiliate such as Hulu + Live TV, Fubo TV, Sling TV and DirecTV. Paramount+ and Fubo TV, which both offer free trials, are the best options for those looking to tune into the special event but not commit to a monthly subscription.

Some Like It Hot,a musical version of Billy Wilders 1959 film, dominated the nominations with 13 nods. The jazzy reimagining was followed closely behind by Juliet,Shuckedand New York, New York,which each scored nine nominations. All of these productions will vie for the award for best musical, facing off against the critically acclaimed new musical Kimberly Akimbo,which follows the story of a teenager who has a medical condition that causes her to age rapidly. Check out thefull list of Tony nominees here.

As always, Sundays ceremony will also feature numbers from this years hottest shows. Although Funny Girl isnt eligible at this years Tony Awards, the cast of the Broadway show, starring Lea Michele, is set to perform a musical number. In addition, the Tonys will feature numbers from Paradise Square starring Joaquina Kalukango, as well as the cast of the Neil Diamond musical A Beautiful Noise, which opened this year but didnt receive any nominations. There will also be a special performance for the 2023 Tony Award lifetime achievement recipients, Joel Grey and John Kander.

There are many questions floating around this years Tony Awards amid the WGA strike, which means that the ceremony will be entirely unscripted, and there will be no opening and closing numbers or elaborate bit from DeBose. The writers strike nearly prevented the Tony Awards from airing on television, but an agreement was madebetween the WGA and Tony Awards Productions to allow the ceremony to proceed as planned. Playwright and producer Jeremy Harris personally appealed to the WGA, asking them not to picket the broadcast.
