The 2022 Tony Awards returns to New York's famous Radio City Music Hall this year. The show generally lasts three hours, but that'll fly by thanks to a string of star-studded performances from Broadway's finest plays and musicals.
The evening kicks off at 7pm ET (12am BST) with a streaming-only build-up show. The Tony Awards: Act One, hosted by Darren Criss and Julianne Hough, will be exclusive to Paramount Plus. Then at 8pm ET (1am BST), it's the 2022 Tony Awards themselves.
This year's nominees include A Strange Loop, MJ: The Musical, Skeleton Crew, Paradise Square and Mr Saturday Night. It's unlikely we'll see one show clean up, as Hamilton did when it won a record 11 awards in 2016. Take a look at the full list of 2022 Tony Awards Nominees below.
The likes of Samuel L. Jackson, Andrew Garfield, Jessica Chastain, Jennifer Hudson, Lilly Cooper, Bryan Cranston, George Takei, RuPaul and Lin-Manuel Miranda will dole out the awards.
The 2022 Tony Awards will stream live on Paramount+ in the US but make sure you know how to watch a Tony Awards live stream wherever you are in the world.
Watch the 2022 Tony Awards free live stream
US music fans can stream 75th Annual Tony Awards live on the CBS app and Paramount+.
Paramount+ costs just $4.99 a month (with ads) or $9.99 a month (ad-free) but new users can watch the Tony Awards with the 7-day free trial of Paramount Plus.
Away from the US at the moment? US citizens can use a VPN to watch the Tonys on Paramount+ from wherever they are. Step-by-step guide below.
FuboTV is another good option for US viewers. The cable replacement service provides access to CBS, which will air the Tonys live at 8pm ET / 5pm PT on Sunday 12th June 2022. It also has a 7-day free trial.
How to watch Tony Awards 2022 from abroad with a VPN
Stuck outside the United States? US nationals can access Paramount Plus from overseas using a VPN (Virtual Private Network). We typically recommend ExpressVPN since it offers a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee.
A VPN lets you can sign into your your Paramount Plus account (or even create a new one) as if you were back home in the States. Good to know, right?
How to use a VPN
Using a VPN to watch the 2022 Tony Awards outside the USA is easy:
1. Install the VPN of your choice. ExpressVPN is the one we recommend.
2. Open up the VPN app and choose the location of the service you wish to access. For the Tony Awards, you may wish to choose 'USA' for Paramount+.
3. Then head over to Paramount+ on your browser or device and enjoy the 2022 Tony Awards live stream.
