Tony Award host and theater veteran Ariana DeBose says this year's telecast will spread its arms wider than just Broadway's stars and celebrate the unsung heroes like understudies and swings who kept shows open during the pandemic restart.
“As the host of this particular Tony ceremony and as one of your own, I say to those people, ‘I promise you, I got you,’" she told The Associated Press. "There’s no way in the world that this Tony Awards will go by without us taking the time to shine the light.”
