The Tonys are Coming: A look at this year’s Stars In The Alley concert in photos

Kristin Chenoweth (Wicked) and Alan Cumming are set to host this year’s 69th Annual Tony Awards, which will be held at the Radio City Music Hall on 6th avenue on Sunday, 2nd June.

With twenty-two shows being nominated for Tonys covering twenty-nine categories, getting to know all the nominees before the ceremony was made simple with last Wednesday’s Stars in the Alley event. Stars in the Alley is an annual event that takes place in Broadway’s famous Shubert Alley to celebrate the end of the official theatrical season. The event welcomes stars from nominated shows and long-running favourites to its stage for a morning of musical festivities.
