2025 Tony Awards Red Carpet: See the Best Photos

Check out best pics from the 78th annual Tonys.

The 2025 Tony Awards returned to Radio City Music Hall on Sunday (June 8) evening for the first time since 2022, hosted by Tony winner (and recent Billboard cover star) Cynthia Erivo. It’s been an unexpectedly massive Broadway season, with 2024-2025 becoming the highest-grossing Broadway season on record despite the Great White Way stumbling a bit in its first couple post-pandemic seasons.

Theater in New York City is back in a big way, with Hollywood A-listers (George Clooney), TV royalty (Sarah Snook), star musicians (Adam Lambert), stage veterans (Audra McDonald) and fresh faces (Cole Escola) alike helping push Broadway to a record-setting year.

Glee veterans were present and accounted for at the 78th annual Tony Awards, with Jonathan Groff delivering a show-stopping highlight from Just In Time, a musical which finds him playing teen idol-turned-hit crooner Bobby Darin (he’s nominated this year, and won in 2024 for Merrily We Roll Along); Lea Michele, who starred as Fanny Brice in a revival of Funny Girl in 2022, was a presenter this year; and Darren Criss, who co-hosted the pre-show Tony Awards with Renée Elise Goldsberry and was nominated this year for Maybe Happy Ending.

Speaking of Maybe Happy Ending, that production went into the Tony Awards tied for the most 2025 nominations with Death Becomes Her and Buena Vista Social Club (all had ten nominations each). The lattermost show is based on a real-life Cuban musical collective formed in 1996 of veteran Cuban musicians whose musical stylings and careers dated back to pre-revolution Cuba. The 1997 album they made together won a Grammy in 1998; the 1999 documentary by legendary German director Wim Wenders about the making of that LP was nominated for an Academy Award in 2000; now, the Broadway musical version of the Buena Vista Social Club story has won multiple Tony Awards.

Check out some of the best red carpet photos of Tony presenters, nominees, winners and more as they entered Radio City Music Hall on a lightly drizzling Manhattan evening.
