The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted numerous events across the globe last year, and while some managed a virtual show, a few returned this year with a bang. After Met Gala, another event to return after a year gap is the Tony Awards.
The awards to honour the best in Broadway productions are all set to be held this weekend. Here's all you need to know on when and where to watch Tony Awards 2021.
Tony Awards 2021: When and where to watch the event?
The Tony Awards will be broadcasted on September 26. The show will kick off at 7 PM ET.
In India, the timings would be 4 AM on Monday. Those interested to watch the show in India can follow the updates on the official Instagram page of the Tony Awards.
