2018 Tony Awards nominees – winners announced tonight

Sara Bareilles and Josh Groban host the 72nd annual Tony Awards from Radio City Music Hall. Watch a live stream of the Tonys on CBS All Access or on TV — find your local CBS station here.

Lots of kid-friendly shows snagged Tony nominations this year. Productions derived from film and TV, like “SpongeBob SquarePants,” “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,” “Frozen” and “Mean Girls” had a strong presence in 2018 Tony Award nominations.

Though the two have never hosted the Tonys before, they’re no strangers to Broadway. Bareilles, who starred in “Waitress” on Broadway, was nominated for a Tony for its score in 2016, and Groban landed a Tony nod last year for his role in “Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812.” Bareilles is nominated for a Tony again this year, for a song she wrote for “SpongeBob SquarePants.”
