Get ready for a night of glitz and glamour as the Tony Awards prepare to roll out the red carpet for some of Hollywood’s biggest stars. This year’s event promises to be one of the most star-studded in recent memory, with a lineup that includes Julianne Hough, Angelina Jolie, and many more.
Julianne Hough, known for her dazzling performances on “Dancing with the Stars” and her roles in films like “Footloose,” will be among the presenters. Her presence adds a touch of elegance and excitement to the evening. Hough has always been a crowd favorite, and her appearance is sure to be a highlight.
Angelina Jolie, a name synonymous with Hollywood royalty, will also grace the stage. Jolie, who has recently taken on the role of producer for the Broadway adaptation of “The Outsiders,” will be presenting an award. Her involvement in the production has been a family affair, with her daughter Vivienne Jolie-Pitt serving as a producer’s assistant. The mother-daughter duo recently attended the debut of the show, capturing the attention of fans and media alike.
The Tony Awards will also see appearances from other big names like Rachel McAdams, Eddie Redmayne, and Jim Parsons, all vying for top honors. The event will be hosted by the charismatic Ariana DeBose, who returns to the role after a successful stint last year.
Previous Tony winners such as Cynthia Erivo, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Ben Platt, Idina Menzel, Jennifer Hudson, and Sean Hayes are set to present awards. The list of presenters doesn’t stop there; it also includes Josh Gad, Andrew Rannells, Nick Jonas, Ashley Park, and Taylor Tomlinson.
The night promises to be a celebration of talent and artistry, with performances from the casts of “Cabaret,” “Hell’s Kitchen,” “Merrily We Roll Along,” and “The Outsiders,” among others. “Hell’s Kitchen” and “Stereophonic” lead the nominations with 13 each, followed closely by “The Outsiders” with 12.
Angelina Jolie’s involvement in “The Outsiders” has been particularly noteworthy. The stage adaptation of the classic film and novel by S.E. Hinton has been a passion project for Jolie, who was inspired to join the production team after seeing the play with her daughter at the La Jolla Playhouse. Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, credited as Vivienne Jolie in the show’s playbill, has also made headlines for her role in the production.
Jolie’s family has been in the spotlight for various reasons. Her daughter Zahara Marley Jolie recently made news by choosing to go by her mother’s surname during a sorority ceremony at Spelman College. Similarly, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt has taken legal steps to be known as Shiloh Jolie, a move she initiated on her 18th birthday.
The Tony Awards will be broadcast live from the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City. The event will air on CBS and Paramount+, allowing fans across the country to join in the celebration.
The anticipation for this year’s Tony Awards is palpable, with a lineup that promises unforgettable moments and star-studded appearances. Julianne Hough, Angelina Jolie, and other luminaries will undoubtedly make this a night to remember.
