Tony Awards in Limbo Amidst Writers Guild Strike
TL;DR Summary
The Tony Awards Management Committee has asked the Writers Guild for a waiver to proceed with a June 11 telecast, but without it, the ceremony may have to be postponed or held in a non-televised format due to the ongoing writers strike. The committee is expected to make a decision on Monday, with the Broadway League leaning towards a non-televised presentation and the American Theater Wing more open to a delay. Many financially struggling Broadway shows depend on exposure from the Tonys telecast for a box office bump.
