A year ago, Josh Groban made his Broadway debut in The Great Comet and this year, he will be hosting the Tony Awards with Sara Bareilles. The actress recently wrapped her run in Waitress and starred as Mary Magdalene in NBC’s live version of Jesus Christ Superstar.
Groban had this to say about the honor, “To be at the helm of a night celebrating the best of that theater with a person (Bareilles) I just laugh way too much with, is beyond words. But I will have words on Tony night! The best words! I look forward to flailing about in front of my peers. It will be with all the love and respect in the world for the room we’re lucky enough to be in.”
Nominations will be announced by Leslie Odom, Jr. and Katharine McPhee on May 1st and the Tonys will air on CBS June 10th.
