Tony Awards 2019: Nominees, Facts & Must-See Details

It’s the most magical time of year for all Broadway actors and actresses; it’s the Tony Awards! For the second time, the “Late Late Show” host and proud musical theater geek, James Corden will host Broadway’s biggest night at Radio City Music Hall. James won an Emmy for his Tony hosting chops last time and has won a Tony Award when he starred on Broadway in “One Man, Two Guvnors'” on Broadway in 2012, so we all can already predict that he’s going to have an epic opening for the night.
