Here's a complete list of 2006 Tony Award
nominees
The format of the 2006 awards show
breaks with the format of the past few years. Instead of one host
acting as emcee, the show takes as its theme "60 stars for 60
years," in a hat tip to the Tony's anniversary. Most of the
presenters have rock-solid ties to Broadway and we expect to see
other noted names announced as the date nears. Scheduled to appear
at the time of this writing are Julie Andrews, Hank Azaria, Glenn Close, Ralph
Fiennes, Eric McCormack, Cynthia Nixon, Anna Paquin, Bernadette Peters,
Chita Rivera, Julia Roberts, Mark Ruffalo, Kyra Sedgewick, Liev Schreiber, Martin
Short, Oprah Winfrey, Alfre Woodward and about 44 others
Co-sponsored by the American
Theater Wing and the League
of American Theatres and Producers, members of the Broadway
community were first honored on April 6, 1947. The first batch of
Tony recipients included Ingrid Bergman, Jose Ferrer, Helen Hayes
and Fredric March
The American Theater Wing, modeled on
a British organization, was founded during World War I to provide
services to American GIs. The Tony Awards are named for Antoinette
Perry, an otherwise now little-known Broadway actress, for her work
with the Wing's famed Stage Door Canteen during World War II
Hope you enjoy the show!
