A pair of past Tony Award®-winners will take the stage on Broadway’s biggest night to hand out American Theatre Wing Tony Awards in more than a dozen Creative Arts Award categories.
Billy Porter and Karen Ziemba will preside over the Creative Arts Awards portion of the 2014 Tony Awards ceremony on June 8, which will take place before the CBS telecast begins, as well as during the commercial breaks.
TonyAwards.com will offer exclusive on-demand video clips of the Creative Arts portions of the Tony Awards ceremony.
In addition, Porter and Ziemba will hand out the 2014 Tony Awards in various non-competitive categories, including the Regional Theatre Award (NYC’s Signature Theatre), the Isabelle Stevenson Award (Rosie O’Donnell), and the Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre (Jane Greenwood).
It's just a little cool that I've worked with both in the theatre.
Karen was a neighbor of mine for years on the Upper West Side and we used to see each other often. I also did CHICAGO on Broadway with Karen when she was starring as "Roxie."
Billy, as regular readers know, is a friend of mine for over 20 years. Two years ago I had the pleasure of choreographing SWEET CHARITY at the Lyric Theatre in Oklahoma City with Billy killing it each night as "Big Daddy" with the number "Rhythm of Life."
It will be uber-cool to watch these two before and during the Tonys. Make sure you head to TonyAwards.com tomorrow night for all the extra fun.
