The 2023 Tony Awards
What usually takes 2 months to crew & set the Tonys, this year it took 4 days to firm 30 Hair & Makeup artists in a venue we have never been before. I LOVE a Challenge & this show did not disappoint .
We had the lovely Ariana DeBose as our host and she nailed it!
The 76th Tony Awards is the first major awards show to be affected by Hollywood's ongoing writers' strike. The Tony Awards Management Committee and CBS initially canceled the telecast after the Writers Guild of America denied a request for a waiver that would have allowed the show's producers to stage a live show without striking writers protesting outside the venue. After further negotiations, the WGA agreed to allow an altered version of the event to proceed without the threat of a picket line and air on CBS, which is part of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, the group with which the WGA has been at an impasse since May 2.
