“I’m coming home!

The 2021 ceremony was held at the Winter Garden Theater in Manhattan with a scaled-back event amid a surge in coronavirus cases at the time.
The Broadway League and American Theater Wing announced in a joint statement released in April that they had decided to extend the eligibility deadline for the ceremony.
The organizations said, “In an effort to address the challenges Broadway has faced in recent weeks, and in an effort to allow nominees to watch Tony eligible shows, we have decided to extend the deadline for eligibility requirements.”
The awards show also issued a “slap warning” to all guests, following a dramatic fall at the 2022 Oscars when Will Smith took to the stage during the March 27 broadcast and slammed presenter Chris Rock.
“Tony Awards have strict no violence policy,” read the PSA. “In the event of an incident, the offender shall be immediately removed from the incident.”
