From fan favorites like Jonathan Groff and Audra McDonald to some pop and tv stars making the move to Broadway like Nicole Scherzinger (Pussycat Dolls) who made her Broadway debut in Sunset Blvd. and Sadie Sink (Stranger Things), Morooney will look at who is likely to take home a Tony this year and which shows you should be sure to catch the next time you’re in the city. After the presentation, she will take your questions about anything theatre and Tony Awards related.
