White Cherry Entertainment’s founders Glenn Weiss (executive producer/director) and Ricky Kirshner (executive producer) have served as the Tony Awards’ production team since 2003.

“We are thrilled to renew Tony Awards Productions’ contract with White Cherry Entertainment. They have been an essential member of the Tony Awards team for more than a decade, and we look forward to continuing collaboration on making the Tony Awards bigger and better each year,” said Heather Hitchens, executive director of the American Theater Wing, and Charlotte St. Martin, executive director of The Broadway League, in a statement.

“We are excited to be given the opportunity to continue to work with the some of the most talented people on the planet, and to continue to be able to create a wonderful showcase for Broadway that we can share with the world!” added Weiss and Kirshner.

During White Cherry’s tenure, the Tony Awards have been recognized with 27 Emmy nominations and 17 Emmy wins, including the best show in its class for the last four consecutive years, and seven of the eight outings. That recognition is more than any time in Tony Awards history, and unparalleled by any other awards show today.
