Several other Tony-related events have also been announced.

A Chorus Line's Mario Lopez will host the concert, which will air in the metropolitan area on WCBS-TV (Channel 2) on June 7.

  • The "Meet the Nominees" press reception will be held May 14 at The Hilton New York Hotel.

  • The Tony Nominees Luncheon — open only to those nominated for the Broadway theatre's highest award — will be held May 29. The nominees will also receive their nomination certificates that day.

    And, as previously announced, the 62nd Annual Tony Awards will be presented June 15. CBS-TV will broadcast the event live from Radio City Music Hall, 8-11 PM ET. (Red-carpet arrivals will begin at 6 PM).

    The Tony Awards are presented by The Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing. CBS has broadcast the annual event since 1978.
